        In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also
        offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their
        systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to the Nintendo eShop on the Wii
        U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Nintendo DSi^™
        Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii^™ Shop Channel
        for the Wii console.

        The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety
        of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos.
        Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or
        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 the Nintendo
        eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be
        used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single
        Nintendo Network account.

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

        Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS
        and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults manage some
        of the content their children can access. For more information about
