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

    I’m differentiating between products like Pokemon and services like Nintendo running servers that let you trade Pokemon.

    Both should ideally be preserved of course, but today’s reality is that it’s much less feasible with the aforementioned services.

    How can we change that?

        Then what do we do with these games? How do we discourage live service games?

        Are you boycotting them?

            More effort by whom? And how do we incentivize it?

                You didn’t answer my first question, and misunderstood the second.

                Who do you expect to do the preserving? And how will you get them to do it?

                    I can’t get to my point if you keep skirting around it.

                    How will you get profit-driven studios to care about preservation?
