This is catastrophic even if you believe that Nintendo should focus all of its efforts on the Switch. It really should, but only if it were to make all games available to purchase in it. If you want to play not all but some of the classic titles, you’ll have to subscribe to Nintendo’s service, which means that you won’t own any of these games, but rather the chance to play them – so long as you keep on paying your monthly fee.
But less about the upcoming Apocalypse that will screw us all, more about the direct victims, the owners of the Wii U, and of the 3DS. Look, one can easily write off the Wii U as a failure that sold poorly because of its awful design, but you’re still talking about the home of a surprising number of masterpieces. I shouldn’t even have to mention the catalog of the 3DS, a console that defeated Sony in the handheld market during the height of the PlayStation 2 hype.

No matter how many games your latest-gen system has, it could always have more – especially when they’re quality titles with a huge following. Westerners didn’t take the news kindly, so Kotaku took to Japan to see how well Nintendo fans are handling it over there just to see if we were overreacting – they might have to go check up on Korea next, as replies vary from “I’m able to trust Sony more than Nintendo,” to “Ridiculous. This makes me only want to buy from Steam.” Anyway, let’s hope Nintendo catches some sort of trend going on now that Valve is coming up with a very promising new handheld that sure as hell won’t have any sort of catalog limitations.
