Because Nintendo only cares about the Switch series at this point. That's fine, my PC, Steam Deck, and even Series S emulates your titles at a higher quality anyway.
Just another reason why digital only sucks if the game is available on a last gen console there is no guarantee that the same game will be ported to the new machine. Or even if the new machine will recognize the game in your digital library. I wish SquareEnix would port Xenogears to the PS4 and 5 but the game is stuck on the PS3 and PS1.
Sad, they are great consoles. The Wii U is still a great deal of fun.
Servers can't be online forever it's a miracle online play is still going for the Wii U at all given it's so close to being two generations behind.
I honestly have a soft spot for the Wii U after buying one two years back for $50 and being able to buy games like tropical freeze for 5 to 10 dollars used vs 60 AUD on switch I've gone that route for most Wii U Game's that got ported to the switch. And turning it into a emulation station running nes, SNES, mega drive, PS1, n64,GameCube and Wii titles
It's sad that a lot of those games will be lost to time and no ports to modern systems, especially the 3DS ones (I bought as many of the ones I wanted as I could).
