The Cost of Being a Nintendo Completionist: $23K for Every 3DS & Wii U eShop Game.
TL;DR Summary
YouTuber Jirard Khalil has spent almost $23,000 buying every game available on the 3DS and Wii U eShop services before they shut down at the end of March. The mission was to preserve every game before they are lost forever, and the funds were raised with the support of The Completionist's sponsors. The purchase included 866 Wii U and 1547 3DS games, taking up 1.2 TB on Wii U and 267 GB on 3DS. The entire journey was documented in a video and is well worth a watch for fans of Nintendo.
