Jake in the desert<p>Since the Wii U and 3DS eshops are shutting down in a few days, a guy spent 328 days buying his way through the Wii U and 3DS libraries in the name of game preservation. He bought 866 Wii U games and 1547 3DS titles-- that's a staggering 1.2TB of data for the Wii U and 267GB for the 3DS. (For the 3DS, that's 2,136,689 blocks!) </p><p>He plans to donate all this to the VGHF. </p><p><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/2023/03/21/3ds-wii-u-eshop-shutdown-leaves-archivists-in-the-wind-hobbyists-pick-up-the-pieces/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">techdirt.com/2023/03/21/3ds-wi</span><span class="invisible">i-u-eshop-shutdown-leaves-archivists-in-the-wind-hobbyists-pick-up-the-pieces/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/wiiu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wiiu</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/3ds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3ds</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/retrogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogames</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gamepreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamepreservation</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nintendo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nintendo3ds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nintendo3ds</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gamehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gamehistory</span></a></p>
