The logo of DSiWare

DSiWare are downloadable games previously found on the Nintendo DSi's digital storefront, and on the Nintendo 3DS' eShop. Just like WiiWare, DSiWare titles could be paid using DSi Points. Seven Super Mario games and two Super Mario applications were released, in addition to one Super Mario-related Nintendo DS retail title digitally re-released for a limited time. The Nintendo DSi Shop closed on March 31, 2017,[1] but DSiWare titles continued to be downloadable via the Nintendo eShop until the eShop's closure on March 27, 2023.
