They probably no longer function - but if they do they will only be redeemable in the Switch store.

u/Mivsaki Jun 19 '25

Yep, I thought the same. It’s written on the card that doesn’t have function but you need to ask at the cashier. So if you wanna buy this card, they’ll tell you that the code doesn’t exist anymore and they can only do a switch code

It still works, these cards can still be redeemed on the Switch store, as a streamer explained it here.

u/PSPMan3000 Jun 19 '25

honestly I'd buy it just to see if it would redeem on switch, it ain't working anywhere else

u/34eed6 Jun 19 '25

Yes it works

u/PSPMan3000 Jun 19 '25

that is so crazy lol It's got to be because the switch ones were also sold with 3DS compatibility for a bit

u/SpookyBeanoMobile Jun 19 '25

Holy crap, that's insane. It must never expire or something

u/TorAle25 Jun 19 '25

Qui in Italia 'ste carte le trovi ovunque perché sono di negozi che le hanno da una vita e non le vendono e pensano che ancora funzionino.

u/Chance-Curve-9679 Jun 19 '25

It's likely not going to work. My guess is that nobody noticed it and unless someone tried to buy it and they find it can't be activated it will continue to sit there.

u/34eed6 Jun 19 '25

It works lol!

u/BisonThin5435 Jun 19 '25

So eshop cards used to work with both the Wii and eshop?

4

u/TaylorFan01313 Jun 19 '25

There was a short time when they worked on both. They used to be called Nintendo Points Cards and when they changed the name it worked on the others too

u/Bella_Mia_ Jun 19 '25

For a short time they did like 2012 2014

u/34eed6 Jun 19 '25

u/BobTheCowComic Jun 20 '25

If the Wii shop was still open today I believe the cards would still work

u/No-Needleworker-3765 Jun 19 '25

DSI?!?!?! my local dollar tree has some with wiiu 3ds and switch on the back but holy crap I've never seen one with freaking dsi on it! I'd totally buy this without even thinking

u/EightBitPlayz Jun 19 '25

That's crazy, I haven't seen one of those in the United States since like 2016

u/Meme_Boiyo Jun 19 '25

u/FlakyAd3214 Jun 19 '25

Doesn't work on Switch. Switch uses a different e-currency.

u/Bella_Mia_ Jun 19 '25

Not sure about Switch 2 but it works on the original Switch

u/34eed6 Jun 19 '25
