We need to stop this happening for future generations and right now, there's a petition on the parliament website to get this spoken about after Ubisoft discontinued an online only game.
New Karl Jobst video about Team 0% efforts to ensure that every user-made course in Super Mario Maker has been completed before the closure of the games online services in April '24. 🏆
A good opportunity to recap for those who missed all the drama about tool-assisted level uploads. 🎭
The Demo for Hot Rod Racer is now available on Steam! This arcade racer game from the Wii U is now improved with new game modes, features and content. And this is just the Demo.
Hey everyone, by some stroke of luck the Spotpass servers for the Wii U and 3DS were not yet shutdown so it is still possible to obtain and submit archives.
If you have a Wii U or 3DS I highly encourage you to follow the guide on this site to submit dumps.
Even if you don't please spread the word so we can get as many dumps as possible and save as much content as we can (boosts are very helpful and much appreciated).
It's been about three days since the Nintendo Network for WiiU and 3DS was shut down.
In case you haven't heard of it, the folks of "Pretendo Network" can help ya stay online and play your games, given you have a homebrew-running device.
Once again a great example how dedicated open-source people can keep things alive. ♥️

News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Online services for the Wii U and 3DS has shut down
The time is up for online services for the #WiiU and #3DS consoles.
It is now April 9th at 1am BST, which means online services for both consoles are no longer available. This means you will be no longer able to splat anymore squids, challenge anyone to a Mario Kart race or even try to show off your bowling skills on official Nintendo servers on the #NintendoWiiU or #Nintendo3DS consoles.
To continue playing online services on both consoles, you will need to mod your consoles. Guides to do that are available on https://wiiu.hacks.guide and https://3ds.hacks.guide. After that, install @pretendo and follow the brilliant guides for installation for Wii U or 3DS. They cover everything you need to know about modding your console and getting Pretendo set up (I've helped add some commits to the Pretendo guide to make it easier to get started).
If you're a Nintendo Nerd and are sad that Nintendo has ended online services today, rejoice! Pretendo is here to save the day :) An open source network that has been reverse engineering the service is online and working quite well. While everything is not yet implemented, they are working on it. If you have a 3DS or WiiU, then this should excite you to no end... ever! :D #nintendo#3ds#wiiu#pretendohttps://youtu.be/HhXIp7n3kic
News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Contribute SpotPass data now!
If you're familiar with the #WiiU and #3DS, you may know that SpotPass is one of the key components of the online services (particularly back when both consoles were still actively supported).
SpotPass will cease to exist once Nintendo Network shuts down and revival services such as @pretendo will need SpotPass data for some online services to function properly. Right now, data for SpotPass can be insufficient in places and in order to make sure it still works properly, they need your dumps.
If you have a unmodded/modded Wii U console or a modded 2DS/3DS console, please visit https://spotpassarchive.github.io/ to learn how to dump your data now. It's quick and easy to do and it won't take long. I did it personally myself last night
Wind Waker has charm out the butt I love it. Controls leave a lot to be desired but what Nintendo game especially late 90s early 2000s didn’t ? #shareyourgames#zelda#windwaker#wiiU
21st century “semi-retro” nook coming along. Put up a shelf today which currently has the #WiiU on it along with a #NintendoSwitch dock below. Plan is to get a #PS2, #PS3 and #GameCube to go with it.
