MODERATORS
Don't worry too much, the scene probably will pick this up and we will have custom servers (I keep playing Jump Ultimate Stars DS online, and its servers closed in 2014).
But yeah, Nintendo makes a really low effort to preserve almost anything.
Yeah but a lot of DS and Wii games got lucky because most of them were hosted on Gamespy, so getting the hands on the actual software was fairly easy.
A select few Nintendo proprietary games had to be completely reverse engineered, like Gen 4 and 5 Pokemon.
Although I do expect Mario Maker won't be too difficult.
If you play the old games, you aren't buying the new ones. Simple as that for Nintendo.
