Nintendo eShop Cards Make it Down Under

And still not here... or anywhere else in Europe.

My futureshop is supposed to get a shippment in september! XD

We have them in the UK, Sainsburys are selling them £15 or £25, they are boring plain cards though, no mario or zelda ones. (they are the fastcard type, the same kind as the Itunes gift cards & B&Q ones that are activated by swiping through the card reader at the till)

An EB Games employee said "Coming Soon" with finger quotations.

For the dutch people on here. Use https://www.3vcash.nl. It's a pre-paid creditcard which is secure, easy and fast. Within a few minutes you are downloading eShop games.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why it's taking so long? As far as these things go I would have thought it was pretty simple to get up and running, or are they having distribution problems?

It's a real shame for Nintendo that they're probably restricting the eShop to a small part of their audience - I imagine a large fraction of 3DS owners are unable to buy points with a credit card for various reasons.

it doesnt have to be an actual credit card you can use your normal cash card to top up my visa electron works anyway

It's weird to hear the cards aren't available everywhere in Europe yet. Just like in Germany, the cards have been out for a few weeks in my crappy country. And my country's pretty small-time, so if the cards are available here, they should available in the major European countries. I dunno, maybe they've been a bit sloppy and haven't made them widely available in the whole Europe yet?

well they only have them in the states but it's a 20 dollar card. and germany, australia, and now the UK. they don't have them anywhere else yet though. Which is one of the reason i haven't bought a 3DS yet. But I'm getting the flame red one when it comes out so maybe someday soon I'll be able to get a 3DS card.

@1 there are one's in Europe as @Roopa132 Said and they are in the UK which is in Europe.

Do they have these in the U.S.?

There really isn't much on the eShop that entices me yet. They should be looking to port over some NES and SNES games. A Link to the Past please nintendo!!!

I haven't been able to find these in my area. I hope that they come to Amazon soon.

@roopa132 cool, gotta get some.

Eh, this crap is taking too long so I simply used Sneaker13's tip to get some cash onto my eShop account. Thanks for that, Sneaker!

i just use a card, you know you can buy cash cards at convienice stores, just use it like a credit card, theres no risk to you whatsoever

I've seen these everywhere, but I just use my debit card. I'm sorry for everyone who can't find them.

Very good, It's about time! I'll have to start picking these up from Gamestop instead of using a credit card now.

After two months of the eShop's release the eShop cards are FINALLY getting distributed worldwide. Took your sweet time didn't you Nintendo?

Either way, there's practically nothing on the eShop at the moment anyway, except for a few good DSiWare games.

We need them in Mexico! I don't own a freakin credit card, so I need those Nintendo eShop cards right here :C

Hope to see one of those soon u_u

OMG FINALLY! These took way too long to get here. .

@25 do you own a cash card you can top up with that it says credit card on the 3ds but you can use a normal cash card over

My b'day is coming up, so I'm asking all my relatives to buy me eShop cards. I just need to wait until nintendo actually brings out good games for the eShop, like Colors! 3D.

does anyone play pokemon on ds if so can u tell me thx

@Olaf-symbiote
Really? Where have you bought them 'cause i've been looking for one and haven't seen any.

If your currency is neither € nor $ you don't deserve these cards anyway.

@27: I actually have a debit card, but it seems that only the master card ones are useful :/ (and the one i've got is VISA).

^it lets me use visa electron debit card real easy to do aswell

@Terave @Sneaker13 @B4SDR4G

Every article you three say the same things.. getting sick of it.. Nintendo confirmed over a month ago the prepaid cards for the Netherlands will distributed via the Primera stores, beginning august 27. They closed a deal for it or something.. Likely they will also be sold at gameshops but this isn't confirmed. It looks like other stores will get the prepaid cards at a later date...

I got my first eShop card in July, and the ones here in the U.S. are really shiny!

@daznsaz; hmmm thanks mate, I guess I should ask to my bank just to be sure hope it's possible D:

@jahir yea hope it works

clothes dont always make the man, so why is it such a big deal for these cards? they're worth as much as the current ones :/

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if a $20 prepaid card work in a european 3DS by changing the region to Australia? (Don't have US listed so.)

ok.. I never knew it was here already...
