That includes over 300 titles on the Wii U chosen from the NES, SNES, TurboGrafx-16, N64, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS libraries and nearly 200 titles on the 3DS chosen from the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Gear libraries.In a February FAQ, Nintendo noted that it offers over 130 classic games as part of a Nintendo Switch Online membership and that "we currently have no plans to offer classic content in other ways." That answer (archived here) was scrubbed from the company's public FAQ within 24 hours of its posting, however.The shutdowns will also mean the end of availability for hundreds of eShop-exclusive titles that were never released on other consoles or on physical media of any type. Video game preservation groups, meanwhile, are scrambling to make sure archival copies of these digital games will be available to researchers in the future.Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.You must login or create an account to comment.Join the Ars Orbital Transmission mailing list to get weekly updates delivered to your inbox.
