Nintendo sets a date for shutting down network servers for the 3DS and Wii

Nintendo actually closed the e-stores for both systems in March 2023, but players were able to continue using online services within the game, such as multiplayer and online rankings.

However, once this ends on April 9, the games will only be playable offline. This will especially impact games that focus heavily on online play, such as the original Splatoon on the Wii U.

Players will still be able to play games in offline mode after online services end, and Nintendo notes that Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter will still retain their online functionality (most likely because they are still used by players and use online connectivity as a core game mechanic).

Nintendo also confirms that this only pertains to the in-game online functionality, and that it will still be possible to download update data and re-download purchased software and DLC from the 3DS and Wii U eShops « for the foreseeable future. »
