Heh, considering the premium people pay for Nintendo games, I'd expect them to stand by their products for longer than a year or two. Wouldn't you?
Two years of content seems plenty reasonable. Especially when they said from the start that it would be two years. Games don't need infinite updates forever and ever and ever. Especially when it's not a live service being sustained by microtransactions.
You didn’t answer my question, by the way.
You're right, I hadn't actually answered your question - my bad. I don't expect them to continually update the game; only that they don't lock out customers from multiplayer. I believe any manufacturer of a given multiplayer game whose official servers are being closed, have a responsibility to release server software, and add a server browser to the game.
I can still play Counter-Strike online, and even Quake 1 and Doom. What gives?
Oh, did you think the headline meant they were shutting S3 down? Servers will remain up for the foreseeable future, and they'll even still run seasonal Splatfest and Big Run events. They're just done with content updates.
My mistake, I've made a mountain of a molehill.
