When you buy the points card, it'll have something to scratch off, or you'll be given a receipt with a redemption code. That's the number for the eshop.
The old 'Nintendo Points' cards are for Wii and DSi only. Only the newest cards, which have Wii, DSi and 3DS on them, can be redeemed in th 3DS eShop.
Nintendo eShop prepaid cards can be bought wherever you can buy Wii U or Nintendo 3DS games. Example of this include Future Shop, Best Buy and EB Games. It is also important to ensure that the card you are buying is an eShop prepaid card. Wii points or Nintendo DSi points cards cannot be redeemed on a Wii U. On the other hand, older eShop prepaid cards branded as "Nintendo 3DS" prepaid cards can be used on the Wii U eShop.
It should be backwards compatible with all DS and DSi games. However there are a few things that can't be supported:Games which require the Slot-2, such as some Guitar Hero games (with the controller)Playing online on a network protected by WPA (old DS games only) won't usually work.The DSi won't support them either, but it's not much of a problem.
The 3DS can play DS and DSi games, and most DSiWare games will be available for download/transfer from an existing DSi when the eShop launches in June.
No. Because the eShop no longer uses Nintendo points, they will have their own set of prepaid cards.
Nintendo has a new model just for that, called the DSi or DS-i.
June 6. the eshop will be awesome! there is going to be: netflix [i think], old games from the past [example: super Mario land, Kirby's dream land and more], trailers for new upcoming 3ds games, other 3ds game apps i don't know and last but not least: dsi ware [dsi ware can't be in 3d] the points will be like money from real life. don't worry!! a 3ds prepaid card or credit card can get you 3ds money.
In order to add funds on the Nintendo eShop, you can either connect your credit card and withdraw cash from there, or you can buy a prepaid point card which can be redeemed by entering the pin afterwards.
You can purchase downloadable 3DS games as well as DSi ware from the Nintendo eShop.
