Bon Voyage!

It's official! As of 45 minutes ago "at the time this article was written" The eShops on the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS were shutdown permanently. You'll still be able to access and redownload your previous digital purchases, however making new purchases including free apps and demos are no longer possible on the last-gen consoles. This includes the asset files for Xenoblade Chronicles X that reduced pop-in and loading times for physical copies of the game which are notoriously bad without said files.
What do you think of the closures and did you make any last-minute purchases today ahead of the shutdown? As always be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

I think there's a really good chance that Nintendo already has an "HD Definitive" version of Xenoblade Chronicles X in the works. But it is still another somber day that was sadly inevitable. I still remember the day Nintendo shutdown internet connectivity features for the Nintendo Wii, and I was no longer able to communicate privately with all of my Nintendo gaming friends on the Wii Message Board. And then Nintendo sadly had to bring Swapnote to an abrupt end on the N3DS not too long after that, so then I couldn't communicate with any of my gaming buddies at all anymore other than social activities on MiiVerse. I wish the Nintendo Switch had some type of alternative social networking feature available, and I'm beginning to wonder if Nintendo will ever revisit the integration of something similar in the future someday.

I just want one glimmer of hope, by having Nintendo announce a port of an eShop only title to Switch, such as Pushmo or Dillons Rolling Western, so that we know they arnt gone for good. PS I do own them on 3DS so that’s not a problem but still would be nice to see them have modern ports

@SunDownSamurai: They did a “sequel” to Swapnote that was still active when I had my previous console. 
@KokorOtaku: Those would be a welcome addition to the Switch eShop, possibly as collections. The Dillon Trilogy (or “Dillogy”) could even offer a few new control methods, with vertical touch controls for those who actually got a handle on the totes-not-Sonic’s-Spin-Dash technique.

Yeah, I found out about that yesterday when I was looking into things on Google Chrome. But thank you for informing me. I could never afford to buy a new "NEW 3DSXL," or a refurbished one for that matter, and I'm more interested in expanding my Nintendo Switch collection of games, hardware, accessories, and multiple OLED consoles as well.
