The logo of DSiWare

DSiWare are downloadable games previously found on the Nintendo DSi's digital storefront, and currently on the Nintendo 3DS' eShop. Just like WiiWare, DSiWare titles could be paid using DSi Points. Seven Mario games and two Mario applications were released, in addition to one 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 will continue to be available for purchase via the Nintendo eShop. DSiWare titles purchased on a Nintendo DSi can be transferred to the Nintendo 3DS using the Nintendo 3DS Transfer Tool app, which is currently the only application available on the DSi Shop if it is accessed after the closure.

There were four different kinds of DSiWare.

  • Free DSiWare: Free-of-charge programs such as the Nintendo DSi Browser and Flipnote Studio.
  • DSiWare 200: Software that can be purchased for 200 Points which will be very compact utility types of applications and small games
  • DSiWare 500: Software that can be purchased for 500 Points which will be simple puzzle games and other, more sophisticated utility applications.
  • DSiWare Premium: Software that costs 800 Points or more for the larger games and utility types.
