Pros: Does indeed work as a replacement for real cash on the eShop, was sent fairly quickly. Was discounted.
Cons: Does not include a small Charles Martinet to make "WAHOO" noises when you redeem it. Only works on eShop.
Overall Review: It can indeed be used as if it were a fiat currency, fantastic!
