Nintendo is shutting down the e-shops on the Wii U and the 3DS next week. The only legal way to acquire retro Nintendo games will be through the Switch Online Expansion Pack, which is a subscription service. Gerard, the completionist then, spent over $22,000 buying nearly 866 Wii U games and 1357 3DS games. Nearly 1.5 terabytes worth. This project took 328 days to complete. It was by the way, the most polite way anyone's ever told me to shut up.
