ThisGenGaming says "NPD just published the sales numbers for February 2016 and according to a Nintendo PR report it brought some surprising news."
Users will be greeted with error code 2813-2470 if they try to purchase something from the Argentinian eShop without having a bank card or gift card registered for that particular country.
They need to start quality control and getting rid of the shovelware garbage that's been infecting eShop lately.
Nintendo has decided to cease its eShop services in Russia starting from May 31 in a largely expected move.
Good. You can't invade a foreign sovereign country and expect things to go on hunky dory. Queue the Russian bots to down vote me. I don't care. This is not okay. A child and her mother killed over night. In their own home. In their own country.

Dan Rizzo says "So this is where we’re at with Nintendo and their continuous colloquy of tedious arguments against emulation. It’s funny how a company that’s so against open-source emulation, uses it to sell commercial products such as the NES and SNES Classic Mini, but release a minimal quantity to drum-up all the hype behind it, only to leave a majority of its fanbase disappointed when struggling to acquire the now collector’s piece."
someone made a good point that older music, movies, and books are far more easier to get access to than games. I think the industry needs to make a change. It's crazy that so much is gone now and I'm willing to pay for the games, but there's literally no way to get them now.
I can't speak to music as I don't collect it, and books are still quite accessible through paperbacks & hardcover releases. But movies & tv shows are starting to have a problem with accessibility now, with all these streaming-exclusives. Before everything would get a DVD or Blu-ray release, but now if content is pulled from a streamer, like happened with some HBO Max stuff recently, there's often no physical disc option or even a digital download through a service like iTunes. They're just lost media, same as delisted digital-only games.
Nintendo should continue and release Pokemon Gold, Silver, & Crystal on the eShop later this year.
I will tell you why because it is a good game and it is cheap!! Ha. I just hope they do not do this for every old game. SSB Melee online would be the great for the Wiiu though.
Hopefully Nintendo will take note of this and continue to support the 3DS's Virtual Console. I'm excited for the new and upcoming SNES releases, but there was a pretty long stretch there where it felt like Nintendo just stopped caring about the 3DS's VC altogether.
Scooped up Yellow. :)
