Why doesn’t GF/Nintendo resell their older DS games?

A couple of reasons
They'd rather put resources into making more copies of more recent games than relying on people owning old hardware
They figure that there are enough already in circulation for it to not be worth it- which is true
All services are officially shut down, events are no longer given out and other nice features like the GTS or Dream World are not usable
By not releasing old games, they get more justification for remakes

Because it would make the DS games - bar DP - look far better and finished by comparison

How many people are willing to buy obsolete games? Not many

DS Wi-Fi was shut down years ago due to company that hosted it being shut down

The only good reason is that the official online is shut down now.

The 3DS is backwards compatible with DS games so old hardware is 100% not a reason and there are always new players coming into gaming so a few thousand now and again wouldn't kill them making it not a reason either. Especially not in the case of the largest series on the face of the planet.

Because Nintendo is a bunch of brainlets that refuse to give people a legal way to buy old games, then throws shitfits when people pirate and emulate those games.

Because they don't care. Obviously.
They let all the soul die and be forgotten. They killed all the social features, they kill off their older consoles, even though people still use even the ancient ones.

Nintendo just doesn't care, and that's about it.
