In early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end for Nintendo 3DS* and Wii U software. This also includes online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution.

We will announce a specific end date and time at a later date.

Please note that if an event occurs that would make it difficult to continue online services for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software, we may have to discontinue services earlier than planned.

  • This includes software exclusive to New Nintendo 3DS

      Why not just turn to services that actually value preservation, instead of sticking with those that don’t?

        When books are published in the US, they’re required to submit a copy to the library of congress for preservation purposes.

        It shouldn’t be left to corporations to decide whether or not the cultural artifacts they own are worth preserving or not.

        These days I certainly do, but it would be nice if we didn’t just have an entire dark age of video games lost to time as well.
