You know they are gonna load it up with trash.

Soon as Majora's Mask and Banjo Kazooie drops, it 3 random games you've never heard of every 2 months

Switch online is barely worth 20 bucks, let alone 50

Id buy an n64 classic but tbh I dont think I need the online service

the price is not good and a lot of these games I have on various platforms

I bought paper mario years ago for $10 on my Wii and could always break that out if I want to play it

You could buy it from the Wii store for like $10 bucks a few years back now they take that down and expect people to pay a yearly subscription

Im doubly pissed because I actually did buy it from the Wii store and I cant even fucking download it anymore.

Even if I did chances are the Wii would break at some point so if I got a replacement I wouldnt be able to redownloaded it then.

You'd think that if they're going to sell you old-ass games again, they'd at least let you buy them rather than subscribing. Even Sony with their "re-release and you have to buy it again every generation" (at least for PS3 and PS4) at least let you buy it outright. As much as I'm a Sony fan rather than MS, I'll admit that MS have done the best of all here with actual backwards compatibility (and indeed, I'm very much considering jumping ship for a generation since that grants me basically the entire Xbox library, not just this generation).

But I guess Nintendo gon Nintendo.

There are alternative solutions to these problems... that I almost never resort to when it comes to gaming, but Nintendo seems committed to driving me to it.

the problem for me was that years ago when i tried it Paper Mario was a shitshow to emulate, but i think it's a lot better now. i had joked that i would pay whatever price it took to play it on Switch but at this rate nah

I can't find anything that indicates the Wii Shop Channel completely closed down. Wikipedia and Nintendo's site still seem to suggest it's open anyway.

I would avoid stating this until you can actually see that for yourself in the eShop. As it stands right now nobody knows

That page is speficially for Wii though. The Wii U eshop hasn't even stopped purchases yet. Did you check the Titles You've Downloaded option?
