I bought EVERY Nintendo Wii U & 3DS game before the Nintendo eShop closes

I bought EVERY available game for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on the Nintendo eShop before it shut down. It was costly, time-consuming, and absolutely worth it.

If you want to learn more about video game preservation, check out the Video Game History Foundation, and we'll see you at our charity event Preserved Play April 15 & 16, 2023

What's some of your favorite Nintendo Wii U and 3DS games?

Literally the completionist right here

Saying this aged like milk is an insult to aged milk

the $250 limit is to comply with banking regulations. if any company lets you hold more than $300 at once in an account, the us considers that to be a bank and requires the company to hold a banking license. it’s why that limit is basically on most digital game stores

I used to work at Gamestop and not only is there a limit of $200 worth of gift cards, but if an employee allows the purchase anyway then the register itself would actually shut down for an hour. They don't mess around when it comes to fraud, but in this case it would've been a really fun interaction if it were allowed.

The fact that you donated this to the Video Game History Foundation makes me so happy. Video games are another form of art that deserve to be preserved.

Where gonna find out in 10 years that those 3DS and Wii U are empty with no games on them.

[SuperPlaytendo]

Well now we know how this video was possible…

The process of buying the cards, loading them, and buying games, is the real life equivalent to a Runescape grind

[KarimJovian]

I can 100% appreciate this. Smart idea, fun execution and most of all preservation. Make sure you claim this on your taxes 😉

£22, 791... Where have I seen a figure similar to this before? I distinctly remember the word expense, but I can't quite place it?....

[pogman]

i hope they end up online for anyone to enjoy, and not just a museum. they should be shared

[-Gax-]

The fact that you guys are donating the data for preservation is amazing.
Thank you all so much. You guys have single handedly preserved a complete (almost) generation of Nintendo.
It may not be big now, but in decades to come, this will be indescribably important

[ILoveCats]

Never thought I’d see someone complete a game store

[Idyvist]

Well, I'm sure his mother will be proud of him for spending all those donations on games instead of dementia research

[nintendolife]

This was one heck of a rollercoaster! You and the team are absolute legends. Thank you for all you do ❤ - Zion

[VrtualRealityTurtle]

This man isn't just completing games. He's completing game stores, truly a man dedicated to his craft

[SeikiRikodou]

Wow this video is well "FUNDED"

[majkenxd]

when are you going to buy the memories of people with dementia ??
