As of March 27 the eshop on Wii U and 3DS are shut down. While I understand why they did it I think about the only good thing on Wii U was the virtual console selection as well as the eshop in general. The majority of Wii U games got ported within a year of the Switch being released. I was originally going to warn others, but truthfully it comes as no surprise to anyone. The Switch is getting more games and attention so it makes sense to shut down things. I just wish they kept the Eshop up for easy access to older games.

The new subscription games thing on the switch isn’t working out for me. Why do I have to pay monthly to play games that were always playable for the same price but without monthly payments? Why do I need to link accounts just to pay more? This isn’t a good replacement for what worked before. Nintendo may be against gambling in their games, but being scam artists isn’t above them. Fortunately, for me the games I already downloaded still work so I will continue to use my 3ds and Wii U for that. Not a long post this time just a lot of sadness and anger at Nintendo they love taking away things that work so they can make more money off of some stupid system. Mario All Stars 3D would have been a great game, but now no one can play it unless they own it for no real reason other than they made the subscription service with Mario 64, but what about Sunshine and Galaxy. they effectively took away a great product for an inferrior product to make more money over time. I will not pay for this service.

Score: 0/10
