I think it’s weird that now the switch is the ONLY Nintendo console to have active service. Also the Wii servers shut down way before the Wii shop did but the Wii U shop shut down before the servers, how odd

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

It’s honestly a shame too because the Wii U and 3ds had much more robust online capabilities, all for free too. Everyone knew it would happen at some point because every other online function not on the switch is almost completely dead. Wii shop, WFC, dsi shop, etc. Still sad to see nonetheless.

@@SuperJGGaming Pretendo has an easier option on Wiiu where you just change your DNS and make an account to play online again. No mods needed. Hopefully that comes to 3ds because it would be awesome to have even more people online.

Wii and DS online shutdown in 2014 and Wii U and 3DS online shutdown in 2024, 10 years apart

[@Waddleclaws]

I used to have that exact 2DS when I was a little kid. But broke it when i threw it at the floor when my parents told me to go to bed. Turns out I broke the LCD display itself. Nowadays I have an Electric Blue 2 2DS and I've installed homebrew on it.

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

The electric blue one looks really cool.

[@gdminus1726]

@@S.J.C._Entertainment I think he means that they are only for wii u and not 3ds, which is not true

I just turned on my 3DS yesterday to play some Mario Kart 7 online (one of my FAVORITES!❤), and I am so sad to see that the online service is discontinued now. I played that for the better part of 13 years it was one of my go-to games to play, and the only way worth playing it is online with people. All those races, and all that VR points gained, gone. I am so heartbroken now, I feel as if I have lost a child and a very piece of me has tragically died. RIP Mario Kart 7 online. 💔 You will be sorely missed.

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

If you mod your 3ds you can once again play online with pretendo, and all your Vr points and save data are still there!

[@ogarrt]

Blessing in disguise. I started messing with ctgp 7 for the first time after the eclipse and omg I’ve been geekin out just grinning hard playing all the new custom maps online.. I’m about to start seeing what’s up with the emulators, I want to try getting ps1 games

[@kaoltic2396]

restarted the game 2 times, first started playing back in 2014 made it to 79k VR then 2 years later my 3DS broke down, few weeks later i bought a 2DS made it to 33k VR and then about a year later accidentally mixed up with garbage, took a break for 5 years . I bought another 2DS back in 2022 made it to 11k VR. Happy to say I was one of the few thousand that made it over 99999k VR. Happy to say I made it to 123k VR with 3 stars online and all gold cart 3x times. Sadly never got the golden steering wheel. Will miss this game online as my childhood!

[@TrayGaming_Reactions]

I was so pissed because I was in the middle of setting up to stream I was about to hook up my new Nintendo 3DS capture card to my PC to start streaming Mario Kart 7 online on my channel and then I heard it disconnect and my heart dropped I was upset for the whole day at least we have pretendo though, but Nintendo pulled the plug too soon if Nintendo could have let us have Nintendo network for at least two more years I feel like that would give pretendo enough time to critique and further develop their services for Wii U and 3DS so when Nintendo network does finally go offline which wasn't supposed to be yesterday in my opinion then pretendo servers would finally be fully ready because right now they're still in development which is good but also bad, there's going to be games we're not able to play for a good minute online until they themselves implement it in their servers, Nintendo did this too soon I'm not saying things are going to last forever as all things must come to an end but they could have lasted a bit longer before doing this😡

Nintendo isn’t very fond of the modding community so I don’t think Pretendo is a valid reason to keep them up longer.
