This is just a quick reminder that Nintendo 3DS and Wii U online services will be discontinued next Monday, 8th April.
To borrow from Europe, it’s the final countdown, so, if there is anything you want to do or get in order on your Wii U or 3DS before then, now is the time to do it.
As previously announced by Nintendo, the upcoming shutdown will include online features such as cooperative play, internet rankings, and data distribution. The only exceptions to this termination of online services (at least, for the time being) are Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter.
While Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter won’t be affected immediately by this end of service, Nintendo previously warned users that online services “may also end at some point in the future”. It did not provide more information. As for other, non-Nintendo published releases with online features, the company has asked that users contact the game’s publisher directly.
