    from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in 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^™.
