It is no secret that Nintendo’s Wii U was a commercial failure fairly soon after it launched in November 2012, putting the company in a tough spot on the console market. However, that doesn’t mean the system doesn’t have an entire library full of great exclusives that might be disappearing forever in March 2023 when the eShop closes.
The Wii U has already been on life support. Nintendo discontinued production in January 2017, two months before the Switch even hit store shelves. Nintendo plans to close the system’s eShop entirely in March 2023, along with the 3DS, meaning players will no longer have access to the digital storefront or the hundreds of games that have been launched for the unique system.
