Welcome to Luckless Heaven! This website is (soon to be) the biggest encyclopedia for Nintendo-related information on the Internet. Currently under construction.

End of Life Projects

A big part of what Luckless Heaven aims to do, is to assist in bringing back online services to videogames that have reached their "End of Life". A videogame's "End of Life" is when the videogame's online services come to an end, generally due to the developers no longer seeing the game as profitable enough to continue supporting. Often times this can render videogames entirely unplayable due to their reliance on online features. As part of our goal to make games accessible to everyone, we aim to assist developers in providing solutions to these discontinuations, by providing information, a platform and sometimes funding towards their projects.
Active Projects


Mobile System GB


Mobile System GB was an online service for a small number of mostly Nintendo and Konami games on the Game Boy Color. The service could be accessed by connecting a Mobile Adapter GB to the Game Boy Color, and then connecting the adapter to a compatible mobile phone. This system allowed users to access a large variety of features, such as online play, downloadable content, messaging and more. This service was discontinued on the 14th of December, 2002, but the service is being restored by the Game Boy Online Restoration Team.

Kiosk Video Players (CIS-004 and WIS-009)


The 3DS and Wii U Stations are specific models of kiosk, exclusive to areas of Asia, that heavily advertised the Nintendo 3DS, the Wii U and games released on those systems. How these video players work is largely unknown, but a lot can be learned from the files found in the hard drives of these devices.
