I have a 3DS, if that makes any difference.

You're still fine.

First do this:

And this if you never bothered to set up a NNID for whatever reason (you most likely already did this if you've ever bought anything on the 3DS eShop) :

Once you're done with all of that, you should be able to add funds to your Nintendo Account through the website and have them show up on the eventual WiiU once you connect it to your NNID:

Argh I’ve procrastinated so long and I just realized why everyone is freaking out about august even though the WiiU Eshop won’t close until next March. ‍♂

Can I link my wiiu to my switch Eshop account? I was going to wait until sept to get my GameStop Eshop credit and put it on the WiiU but I guess that won’t work.

Are the different versions of MMBN 3-6 different games like FE Fates, or is it small differences like Pokemon?

Somewhere in the middle. For 3 it's the exact same aside from some chips, a couple potential forms, and a side boss or two. In 4-6 it means completely different allies and different abilities from them (as well as different scenarios to match in 4 & 6), but the main story beats remain the same.

10 full length rpgs is a hell of a collection. I've always been curious about this series but never played it. I like og Mega Man and Legends and the Protomen, but these games are my MM blindspot. I just don't have time to play almost a dozen MMBN games back to back though. If I were to pick up this collection, which games would be best to jump into as a good sampling of the series? I'd be down to play like 3 games for sure, maybe more.

2 and 3. 5 and 6 are also good, but not so much as first outings. Avoid 4.

1 is...fine, but its age shows horribly when compared to the rest of the series. If you feel comfortable heading out to sea, there was a DS "re-port" of the first game that added some much-appreciated QoL improvements (and included some very brief time travel shenanigans with the sequel series Star Force), but it sold poorly in Japan and therefore was never localized. A fan translation exists, though.

With today’s update, most Sega/Atlus 3DS titles got discounts to $10 and under.

Now if only they would put all the DLC for those games on sale.
