Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's long-awaited remake is only a little under a month away, which means Nintendo has started releasing more and more information about the title and what we can expect. Being a remake of a beloved and classic title, there are a lot of questions surrounding what Nintendo will keep or remove from the original. For example, it was recently discovered that the game will make Vivian trans across all versions, something which was cut from the English and German versions of the original.
Pokemon and Splatoon fans fight Nintendo's 3DS and Wii U server shutdown by keeping their favorite games online for as long as possible

It's truly the end of an era for Nintendo fans, as online services for 3DS and Wii U have finally shut down. With it, we say goodbye to online multiplayer for the likes of Splatoon, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pokemon X and Y, and Xenoblade Chronicles X, with everything shutting off for good at 5pm PT/8pm ET yesterday (or 1am GMT this morning for UK folks).
Or at least, that's what was supposed to happen. All over social media since the supposed shutdown, many players were left baffled as they found their 3DS and Wii U games continuing to function perfectly fine online as if nothing had changed. The hours since saw this devolve into a battle of sheer willpower, with fans leaving their systems on and permitting the online services to cheat death for as long as possible. And, for a surprising amount of time, this worked very well.
This determination to hang in there was particularly prevalent within the Splatoon community, which began rallying together for a single purpose: "KEEP IT ALIVE FOR AS LONG AS YOU CAN SOLDIERS."
Two hours after the planned shutdown time, one fan advised: "IF YOU'RE STILL ONLINE FOR SPLATOON 1 DO NOT RESET YOUR WII U. It's still kicking for a LOT OF PEOPLE! KEEP PLAYING."

Meanwhile, 3DS Pokemon players also found themselves inexplicably managing to complete online trades with fellow server shutdown survivors for hours longer than they should have, with one report even claiming to have successfully traded within the last hour. Others reported they were able to stay online until they themselves disconnected – at which point they weren't able to get back in – while others were eventually hit with error messages.
Almost 10 PM and I’m still connected and doing wonder trades! I also keep getting “oil” Pokémon randomly
