Nintendo Memories Shows Your Most-Played 3DS & Wii U Games
A new initiative launched by Nintendo lets fans see their most-played games on the 3DS and Wii U, ahead of their eShops losing support in 2023. The DS and the Wii had eShops of their own, but Nintendo only used them for smaller digital titles and the Virtual Console, as the company had yet to fully embrace digital gaming.

It's a shame that the Wii U eShop didn't receive more attention, as it was notoriously slow to load and lacked many basic features that fans would expect from a digital storefront. There was some confusion when Nintendo revealed that the Switch would use microSD cards as its main storage option, but there are few who can argue that the eShop and the system as a whole are better tailored for digital games than the Wii U.
