I planned on getting $200 worth on my account before it ended today. I added $100 last night, and planned on adding another $100 today, but it seems it already ended. I'm kinda pissed that I only have $100 on there right now. Now if I want to get more money on my eShop account, I have to pay an additional charge through play-asia or some other website. Which is kinda why I wanted to add as much as I could before support ended...

Huh? Are they ending it for the US, too? I just bought a game on 3DS a week or two ago.

Switch is the "money" endpoint for 3DS and Wii U.
I think direct credit card transactions still work on those other two in the US, but I haven't bothered to try lately.

You can get a number of games (including virtual console) off Japanese Amazon, and often cheaper than the actual store.

Yeah, I used the 3DS to get money for Switch games as well. Can't do that anymore though. ;_;

Here's my unorganized wishlist. I know. I've been using it for awhile. It doesn't include all games though, like the Final Fantasy games on 3DS/Wii U, or the DSi games. And I can't buy themes, or do Badge Arcade with that either. So it's nice, and I obviously use it instead if I can, but there are limitations. Also, it doesn't include the 3DS StreetPass games that I still haven't gotten around to getting...

I noticed that one too, and managed to get it earlier this week before buying 100 eShop dollars. Pretty much none of the Square-Enix games are available on Amazon.

I think we are fine for a while still. They haven't even announced an end date for North America
