News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Online services for the Wii U and 3DS has shut down
The time is up for online services for the #WiiU and #3DS consoles.
It is now April 9th at 1am BST, which means online services for both consoles are no longer available. This means you will be no longer able to splat anymore squids, challenge anyone to a Mario Kart race or even try to show off your bowling skills on official Nintendo servers on the #NintendoWiiU or #Nintendo3DS consoles.
To continue playing online services on both consoles, you will need to mod your consoles. Guides to do that are available on https://wiiu.hacks.guide and https://3ds.hacks.guide. After that, install @pretendo and follow the brilliant guides for installation for Wii U or 3DS. They cover everything you need to know about modding your console and getting Pretendo set up (I’ve helped add some commits to the Pretendo guide to make it easier to get started).
If you want to know what the shutdown means for either the Splatoon or Animal Crossing franchises, please visit our page at https://experiencersinternational.github.io/labs/fedi/splatoon/onlineclosure.
It’s unfortunate that many popular games did not last a decade of online support, but it was good whilst it lasted.
If you have any memories of online from either consoles, I would love to hear it in a reply down below!

@[email protected] @pretendo @crossing @[email protected] I met my current girlfriend 6 years ago on Animal Crossing New Leaf. Sure Nintendo would not like to hear that we shared personal details through their game… But I think it’s really sweet :)
