When the Wii U ships this year, its eShop will be available from day one. Nintendo confirmed that users will be able to purchase both digital retail games and smaller-sized titles from the Wii U eShop. According to Wii U Daily, Nintendo explained the Wii U eShop purchase options, – listed below – which are identical to the the Nintendo 3DS’s options.
- Purchase directly from the Wii U eShop with a credit or debit card.
- Purchase via a download code that you acquired.
- Pre-paid download cards, which can be purchased from video game stores and online.

cool I will use credit..
Wow i can but the cards online? That’s great news….. my prayers are answered. Thank you lord Jesus :D
too
it’s spelt two not too. Look it up in dictionary if you can’t tell the differences between “to”, “too” and “two”.
It actually depends on whether he meant “me too” or
If he meant “I will buy two” in which he would be correct in the first instance which makes most sense to me.
but he didn’t use the word “me too” in that sentence, so it could be intrepided differently from what he meant.
it’s 2012. we shouldnt be correcting grammar like this.
As long as I don’t have to add $10, $20 etc and just pay for it directly i’ll be happy
You can do that on the 3DS now. Just save your credit card info on the eShop and it will give you the option to add just the required funds.
And you can add only the needed funds for whatever you’re buying instead of having unspent money.
Im still confused with the PSN store, some things i buy have the add £5 but others it just takes the exact price -.-
Who’s betting that the eShop will be called the uShop?
I think they will want to keep the name the same with the 3DS shop, just because they are (hopefully) merging them.
eShop will be keeping it’s name, it’s not going to be renamed to match the Wii U’s name.
Not to be mean but thats just stupid.
how about transfer from wii ??
Just wait.
They confirmed taht
PAYPAL, PLEASE NINTENDO!
DENIED!
I really like Paypal.
You like it til you get screwed over by them and they sieze your account and funds.
Using it since 2007, never had a prob.
Neither. I only ever order online if the site has Paypal; it’s just much easier to use and no-one can steal your card details and shit. I hope we can use it in the eShop.
Sounds good. Hopefully the games will be interesting.
I choose Options 2 and 3.
phew. I was looking for pre-paid and it looks like that’s an option cause they’re never getting my credit card number.
Check out my zelda shirts!

Bad spam is bad.
Not spam. Just something cool I wanted to show people.
I am gonna choose Pre-Paid Cards and i have a Strong Feeling maybe those cards are going to have a NFC Chip or Mark inside them. So when you get the card near the NFC reader on the GamePad, its scans them and the Money will be Instantly on your account. That would be Awesome and better than getting a Card that you scratch off and type a code just to get the money. That’s my way of thinking lol.
That would be pretty cool and easy to use.
For Real it would!!! =D
its possible but time will tell.
This is exactly what I picture happening.
What if you pass a nother wii u on the way to yours
If I want to purchase Cloudberry Kingdom or Trine 2: Director’s Cut for the Wii U on either SD Card or external hard drive, I’m all game! The purchase options are very simple and reliable.
Those were all obvious choices, no news here.
Nintendo I’m motherfucker Jones……
I hope that they accept laser(it’s the irish debit card) hopefully by the time I get the wii u my bank will have issued me the visa debit card which is soooooo much better for making online purchases
If you trolls want to know who the real peteriuss is it is wiiU’s supporter.
not really he support wii u, unlike aelous and anon like to be trolls here even though this is not Sony PlayStation site this is Nintendo site and U know who the real troll is, plus those fools bash Nintendo fans like wii fuck there moms or something.
no it is me, i invent the name!
What i think would be awesome, is using the Miiverse app for your phone, buying one of those cards, typing it in on the app, which turns on the console amd starts downloading it for when you get home. That would make me jizz.
Or even browsing the store using the app and buying it from there
i remember that u can use you phone with miiverse and buy a game with your phone and gets download to your wii u console, and when u get home its completed download.
that would be cool to do in 2013
I can’t wait for Wii U, Paper Mario Sticker Star, New Super Mario Bros 2 and more !!!!!!
Debit cards? Awesome!
i wish that u could just get a card that can be reloaded with some amount of money so if i wanted 5.99 then i could just get that much on the card then rgistwer that amount on the eshop
I’d like to see Sega Saturn games making their way to Wii U eshop
