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.
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).
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
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.
News / Nintendo Network: A quick heads up to remind you that there is less than 21 days left now
Just wanted to post a quick heads up to everyone that Nintendo Network will be gone in less than 3 weeks now. As a reminder, online services for the #WiiU and #3DS are shutting down on April 9th at 12am BST.
Don't forget that we still have a few events left in our Matrix space if you want to play some games with others before it is too late!

It's for 1 to 3 players, and it plays fine solo, but is best played with 3. With 3 people, it goes from "This is a good game," to "This is a gaming experience that should be on your list."
And it was a Wii U exclusive, and the eShop is now closed to new purchases.
The art and style of the game are so perfect it's difficult to convey. Affordable Space Adventures is one of those few games where a person really does need to play it to appreciate it.
It was the failure of #WiiU that led to Iwata going to the lengths that not many #CEOs of large tech companies have done, which is to take a 50% pay cut to avoid mass company #layoffs. At the same time, other top executives reduced their salaries by 20%.
And it’s a decision that people are being reminded of now as the #TechSector continues to suffer widespread layoffs in the first month of 2024
I was watching this video yesterday at work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aWJ2eWanSs
And got excited. So I remembered that I had some credit left on my account, so I bought it on Series X.
Got home late at night from work and thought that I would just download it and give it a quick go before putting in Melty Blood.
What I didn't expect was that I would be playing it till 1AM. 😅
Now I need an adapter to use my Joystick on my Wii U so I can finally play this version... 👀
I bought a Japan #WiiU last week, decided to try mod it and install #Pretendo for the first time, but now I'm a little bit stucked, makes me a bit worried about accidentally signing up for NNID instead (although I never have one before).
Unfortunately, I can't be as much help as I'd hoped, since I haven't gotten around to installing @pretendo on my modded Wii U yet. Maybe someone else can pick up the thread here and provide more assistance?
@martinbasic
Sorry, just saw this! :bandwidth_brick: @GamesMissed is right, you should make sure that you're actually connected to our servers, as opposed to Nintendo's, following those instructions.
what save data transfer tool should i use for moving saves from my nintendo network profile to pretendo? all that im seeing is savemii which doesnt look compatible with aroma nor tiramisu
