Here's the thing. These games are FREE. They make no money at all directly from them. The money is made off the Nintendo online service instead. In light of that, there's no excuse to take the games down even if they aren't as popular as they would like. So long as they're still making money from the online service, just keep the dang games up.
With that in mind, I don't intend to reward this kind of FOMO behavior. "Fear of missing out" won't motivate me here. If it dies, it dies, but I'm not motivated to renew my Nintendo Online subscription just to play a game that may just vanish forever. At some point, I'll just pirate it down the line on a hacked Switch and play on modded fan servers instead.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
