Today, Nintendo has confirmed the exact closing dates for Wii U and 3D SeShops, both of which will be effectively closed on March 27, 2023. For the time being, you can continue to download the games you purchased, but you will not be able to access the games or the DLC you are trying to purchase after that date- Booing..
However, Nintendo added a rather strange twist to confirm that the sale of Fire Emblem Fate actually ended on February 28, 2023, a month ago. This is to allow enough time for players who have purchased the entire game to reach Chapter 6. After that, you will be offered three story path choices. Conquest, Inheritance rights, When revelation.
Whichever story path you choose, you will need to purchase and download the additional DLC you need. All of these will be available until the e-shop closure date of March 27, 2023. So what Nintendo has done here is to effectively serve Fire Emblem Fates owners. Enough time to make in-game selections and download the required DLC before the e-shop is closed.
Imagine another way. If the full game was available until the end of March 2023, players may not have enough time to play up to Chapter 6 and select a story path. In other words, you get stuck. It’s a pretty compassionate gesture from Nintendo, everything is taken into account!
