The '''Nintendo eShop''' is an online service for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] that sells games, including classic emulated games (for play via the [[3DS Virtual Console]] and [[Wii U Virtual Console]]), as well as providing access to game trailers, other video content, and demos for select games. DSiWare is also available for the Nintendo 3DS, with a few exceptions. Purchases are made with money instead of the points system used on the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DSi]].

The '''Nintendo eShop''' is an online service for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]] that sells classic emulated games (for play via the [[3DS Virtual Console]] and [[Wii U Virtual Console]]) and original 3DS games as well as providing access to game trailers, other video content, and demos for select games. DSiWare is also available, with a few exceptions. Purchases are made with money instead of the points system used on the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DSi]].


The current iteration of the eShop is divided into two virtual shelves. On the bottom shelf are lists of Best Sellers, Virtual Console games, Applications, Top Rated games, info on Retail titles, and possibly a patch for a popular game. The top shelf is split into left and right portions. The left portion contains such options as "Settings" and "Search," while the right section contains a number of categories, often whimsically inspired, containing a variety of games.
