      In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also
      offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their
      systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to Nintendo eShop on the
      Nintendo Switch console, the Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS family
      of systems.

      Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of
      content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users
      can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or
      purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code
      from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in Nintendo eShop
      on Nintendo Switch, Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can
      be used in any Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single
      Nintendo Network account.

      The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses Wii Points,
      which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel.

      Remember that Nintendo Switch, Wii U, Wii, New Nintendo 3DS, New
      Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, and Nintendo 2DS feature
      parental controls that let adults manage some of the content their
      children can access. Nintendo 3DS players who register a Nintendo
      Network ID gain access to free-to-start games and free game demos from
      Nintendo eShop, and also get the latest news and information direct from
      Nintendo. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/switch,
