Rumor: Nintendo introduces Support for new 3DS / Wii u games in April 2022

The golden times of Nintendos 3DS and Wii U have long been over. In recent years, only occasional games for the two consoles have appeared, as the focus of the developers is now on the current Nintendo Switch console.

When there is no new digital games anymore? The developer studios have time to submit their games until April 1, 2022. After this deadline, no new games for the eShops are accepted. Subsequently, the games will be published in a period of 3 months.

However: There are so far only a rumor. Nintendo has not published an official opinion so far. Thus, we should wait if there is actually something on the rumor. As always, we will pray Nintendo about a statement.
