The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service and features games, applications and videos. Users can add money to their account balance by using a credit card or by 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 either the Wii U eShop or the Nintendo 3DS eShop.

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