Nintendos blog site post originally consisted of a point recommending that people who want to play its older games in future get a membership to Nintendo Switch Online, according to Kotaku, which it currently has “no plans to use timeless content in other ways.” The part has actually since been removed from the Q&A section.Switch Online lets you gain access to a library of retro games from the Nintendo 64, SNES, NES and Sega Genesis, however you need to connect to the internet as soon as a week to confirm your membership. By contrast, the Wii U and 3DS let you buy individual games from a wider variety of systems (like the DS and different Game Boys) and the eShops closure will eliminate access to 1799 titles, according to IGN.This is why Im quite excellent at Mario Kart 8.

On the positive side, Nintendo also added a website feature enabling you to take a look at your Wii U and 3DS play history. I spent 172 hours playing my Wii U, across 23 different games. Mario Kart 8 was my post-played title, at 68 hours. I invested 270 hours on my 3DS, on 64 various video games. Citizen Evil: The Mercenaries 3D was my primary video game, at 33 hours.A somewhat obscure Resident Evil spinoff was my leading 3DS game.
