I just had a crazy thought: Playing Smash Bros Ultimate online today would be like playing Smash Bros 4 online in January 2022. Or Smash Bros Brawl online in early 2016—nearly two years after Nintendo WiFi servers were taken down.

Speaking of which, I wonder how long Nintendo plans to support NS1 online functionality before hosting everything on NS2. It has already been nearly 9 years since launch after all… Wii U lasted 10.5y, 3DS lasted 13y, and Wii lasted 7.5y. My guess is at least another decade, seeing how PS4 is still holding up.

Yeah I would guess between the sheer number of people who have a Switch 1 and the expectation nowadays that these things will be supported long term, that it stays up for a long, long time.
