Nintendo to End Online Services for 3DS and Wii U on April 8

The shutdown will conclude online multiplayer and SpotPass, while offline play and StreetPass remain operational.

Nintendo is set to shut down the online services for the 3DS and Wii U on April 8, 2024, at 7 P.M. ET.
The shutdown marks the end of online multiplayer, leaderboards, and SpotPass functionality, but offline play and StreetPass will remain available.
Players can still download update data and redownload previously purchased DLC for the foreseeable future.
The closure follows the earlier shutdown of the eShops for both systems in March 2023, affecting access to digital-only games and the Virtual Console service.
Fans are encouraged to enjoy one last weekend of online gaming and share their memories of playing on these platforms.
