How to Add Funds to Your 3DS

Are you an avid 3DS gamer looking to add funds to your Nintendo Network ID wallet? Unfortunately, since last August, players have no longer been able to add extra funds to their balance. However, there are still ways to add funds to your 3DS and pick up those standout games you have been wanting. In this article, we will go over the various ways you can add funds to your 3DS and make those purchases you have been wanting.

First, if you have a Nintendo Account, you can link it to your 3DS and add funds to your account balance. After linking, you can add funds to your Nintendo account and purchase 3DS titles. Luckily, there’s still time to pick up these standout games. Once the functionality is shut down, players will have no way to add funds directly through their 3DS or Wii U, and will have to do so via a Nintendo Account.

The most common way to add funds is by using a credit card. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card. This credit card does not have to be associated with a Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be used in any of the Nintendo eShop stores.

If you’re wanting to pick up the digital version of the game instead, you can get money off by grabbing some of our discounted eShop credit. This can be used to purchase games, downloadable content and even full-priced games. Meanwhile, from 29th August, users will no longer be able to use a Nintendo eshop card to add funds to their accounts on the Nintendo eshop for the 3DS and Wii U.

The only way to add funds is if your Nintendo Network ID is linked to a Wii U or 3DS with your account on Switch. Once you have your Nintendo Network ID linked, you can then access the Nintendo eShop and add funds to your account. Funds can also be added via the Nintendo eShop on the web.

In conclusion, there are still ways to add funds to your 3DS and make purchases. You can add funds to your Nintendo Account, use a credit card, or purchase discounted eShop credit. Be sure to take advantage of these options before the functionality is shut down on 29th August. Keep on gaming!
