Nintendo's online servers for Wii U and 3DS shut down today

Thank you very much for supporting our products. At 4pm PDT on April 8, 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 sincerely thank players for using the online services of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software over a long period of time and apologize for any inconvenience. StreetPass uses local communication between Nintendo 3DS family systems, meaning that it will still be available even after online services end.
