> The 3DS wasn't discontinued until 2020

Damn, I didn't realize it happened so recently. So it only took 2.5 years after discontinuation for eshop to be taken down, and 3 years for the remaining online services (other than redownloads of owned games) to be shut down.

At the rate Nintendo is going, I wouldn't be surprised if Switch online services are shut down less than a year after they stop manufacturing it.
