Nintendo Shutting Down Online Services for 3DS and Wii U in Early 2024

Online services for 3DS and Wii U will end in early April 2024. This means no more online play, rankings, data distribution, etc.

The shutdown affects all 3DS and Wii U models. Most games will be impacted, with some exceptions.

You can still play games offline. StreetPass will work but SpotPass won't on 3DS.

You can still redownload digital games for now. Back them up while you can.

Badge Arcade and placing badges won't be possible after the shutdown. Finish up before April 2024.
