@Joeynator3000 They ended the Virtual Console because outside of the big Nintendo titles and cult classics, none of the games sold well
@Ultimapunch I'm sick of people white knighting Sony and Microsoft when they're literally monopolizing the industry, and the former shut down their own Japanese studio while refusing to even promote independent games.
I don't get why people are surprised thay Nintendo are shutting down the Wii U and 3DS eshop, when the former was a total flop while the latter saw a deep decline in sales after the Switch launched, with this very site calling the system dead in 2019.
Also don't get why people on the site are suddenly white knighting Sony when they've also acted ***** in the past, and continues to ignore smaller games while shutting down their Japanese studio. Spoiler alert: no company is your friend
@Aezetz The Virtual Console isn't coming back. The reason why is because other than all the big name Nintendo and third party titles and the ocassional cult classic, everything else on the original Wii Virtual Console didn't sell well. Not to mention that apparently the Wii U (no surprise there) and 3DS Virtual Cosnole sales were also poor
@BetterThanVegas This is way too hyperbolic. The price should definitely be lowered to $30 or at least include GB/GBA games, but to compare Nintendo to EA/Activision, two companies known for the worst gaming businesses practices such as loot boxes and micro transactions over an overpriced optional online tier is ridiculous
@Yosher @ItsOKToBeOK That's literally how it works for games on PS+ that you can get - if you're not longer subscribed you lose access to them. I fail to see how this is any different

You're shocked that a corporation is out to make money?
