From what I know, the shop will still be online and offer updates. But will be impossible to add new games in the shop catalog.

what does that mean?

It means that, the shop will not close, I think. You would still be able to buy games, and the apps that use the 3ds e-shop will still be working (like the Pokebank) but no new games will be added in the shop.

"On January 18, 2022, the eShop for JP region 3DSes will no longer accept money directly from the Nintendo Network ID(NNID) but through a linked Nintendo Account. Gift cards will still be accepted." so I think you're stil good

It's just that in the Japanese eshop you won't be able to pay with credit card.

The shop themselves won't be closed.

In the same link you posted :
" On its official website, Nintendo of Japan announced that the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops will no longer allow users to add funds via credit card or e-money card starting January 18, 2022. The announcement currently only applies to Japan, but the company could very likely do the same for other regions. According to the announcement, any remaining funds in either of the respective eShops after the aforementioned date may still be used as is. Once support for credit cards and e-money cards has ended, users will only be able to add funds for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops via Nintendo prepaid cards or by linking their Nintendo Network ID with their Nintendo account.


" This change may mean that Nintendo is simply discontinuing whatever separate payment infrastructures it had in place for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops and is centralizing where players are able to add funds to purchase content for the two older consoles. On the other hand, it could potentially mean something more in the future as the announcement also mentions certain features being disabled due to the change, including disabling the filter of the Nintendo 3DS’s internet browser as well as the subscription services of titles such as Karaoke JOYSOUND for the Wii U.

While Nintendo of Japan’s announcement doesn’t directly mention the shuttering of the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U eShops anytime soon, it still isn’t an impossibility. [...] . But given that it took Sony almost 17 years to close the PSP store, users of both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U may not have to worry anytime soon.

Late for response, I can confirm earlier today I added funds via Switch and they show on Wii U as long you’re using the same account.
