Ahead of the Wii U and 3DS eShops' closure, YouTube's most prolific completionist bought every game

The Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops are both shutting down at the end of this month, so YouTuber Jirard “The Completionist” Khalil’s solution was to buy them all.

Last year, Nintendo made the unfortunate decision to shut down the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops, and that date is almost upon us. From March 27, you won’t be able to buy any games from either online storefront, though you will be able to download any that you have previously purchased. There’s a whole heap of problems there, one of them being that up to 1000 digital-only games will just completely disappear when this happens. So of course, that left Khalil with one option: buy them all (thanks, VGC).

To put this into perspective, that’s 886 Wii U games, adding up to 1.2TB in storage size, and $9,673 (£7943) in cost , and 1547 3DS games, DSiWare, and DLC, making up 267GB in storage size, and $13,118 (£10,772) in cost. That’s a grand total of $22,791, or £18,715, an absolutely heft sum of money.
