Nintendo shutting down online services for 3DS and Wii U software in April 2024
04.10.2023 - 15:05 / destructoid.com / Nintendo
It’s a tradition that as hardware ages, companies will stop supporting it with new releases, and eventually online services shut down. It has been a slow death for the 3DS and the Wii U which had their eShops shut down this year. The next step in phasing out these devices will come in April 2024 when Nintendo shuts down online services for software on the platforms.
In short, this means that online play and anything else that requires the internet will no longer be available for the 3DS and Wii U. Nintendo has clarified that a more specific date for the shutdown will be revealed later.
Let’s start with what won’t be getting axed. The shutdown of online services on the 3DS and Wii U won’t stop you from playing single-player offline games. You won’t lose your library either because “it will still be possible to download update data and redownload purchased software and downloadable content from Nintendo eShop.”
As of early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end service for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software. Thank you very much for your continued support of our products.

StreetPass will still be fully functional, as that relies on local communication, though you will lose SpotPass. You’ll also be losing the following:
Pokemon players can breathe a sigh of relief, as Pokemon Bank will still have access to online services, though “that may also end at some point in the future.”
The shutdown of online services is unfortunate but unavoidable too. It does seem that Nintendo is freeing up resources as it looks to its future which, if reports are to be believed, may feature a Switch successor as soon as next year.

Pac-Man 99 Gets Shut Down and New Pac-Man Title Gets Announced!
Ever since the beginning of its lifetime, the Nintendo Switch Online service has had some “curious” things going on that gamers can’t quite understand. The “Expansion Pack” was one of them, although that’s gotten better in recent times, and some of the “exclusives” that you can get via the service haven’t always been worth their time. However, with Pac-Man 99 and others of the “99” kind, it was a different story. They were simple twists on classic titles that ensured that people were having fun. But now, in another curious movie, the game’s online services have been shut down, and the game has been delisted from the platform.
