Nintendo has announced the exact date when it’ll shut down online services for both the 3DS and Wii U, but you’ll be glad to know there are a couple of months left for you to get your fill of playing some classic Call of Duty on the latter.
While we already knew thanks to an announcement made late last year that the online elements of the two consoles would be riding off into the sunset in early April 2024, it’s nice to finally have a concrete date on it. After all, how else is the one person that bought a brand new Wii U in 2023 going to cope with all of that uncertainty looming over their prized possession.
In case you’re wondering, April 8, 2024, has now officially been confirmed by Nintendo as the day when “online play and other functionality that uses online communication” for 3DS and Wii U will bite the dust. This means online co-op play, internet rankings, and data distribution will all also be saying goodbye on that day.
