I have actually been thinking about this a lot lately. Why doesn't Nintendo allow us to download games anymore, given that the only current method is unofficial and illegal, which is frustrating? It seems they were not losing money on the WSC/DSI/eShops for Wii U and 3DS. So why not keep them open? And I think it would be really cool if Nintendo made a Nintendo Legacy Online subscription so we can keep playing our Wii Us and 3DSes online in 2026 and charge like 10 dollars a month? I would much rather have that than the alternative unofficial method, which is quite a bug to set up! Also making Miiverse read-only too would be awesome!
Just saying the shutdowns made no sense, and with the "stop killing games" movement and petition in effect, I hope Nintendo does release something like this officially and a firmware patch for the Wii/Wii U/3DS/DSi that adds this in the near future! And for any 3rd party games, I hope they can take advantage of the DNS menu thing and make an official fan server method work!
Because Nintendo really likes the vault. After all, why offer your old stuff for a reasonable price when you can just dripfeed lazy rereleases for a premium price which sell anyway?
