In case you missed it, Nintendo is shutting down online play and other functions for the 3DS and Wii U early next month.

As we approach this deadline, Nintendo’s Japanese social media accounts have been releasing regular PSAs. The latest was released earlier this week, once again reminding everyone that online play for both of these devices ends on April 9, 2024 (that’s April 8 in the USA).

“The online play service for “Nintendo 3DS Software and Wii U Software” will end at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, April 9 next month.”

So once again – if you have something internet related that you want to do on 3DS or Wii U, you now have less than a few weeks.

Earlier this month, Nintendo ended the ability to link unused eShop funds (from 3DS and Wii U) to a Nintendo Account. It also closed the eShops for those platforms last year, and purchases are no longer possible.
