“In early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software,” Nintendo said on its Support website.

“This also includes online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution.”

“if an event occurs that would make it difficult to continue online services for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software, we may have to discontinue services earlier than planned.”

As for Pokémon Bank

Pokémon Bank will still retain its online functionality (presumably since it’s still used by players and uses online connectivity as its central mechanic).

    Didn’t monster hunter’s servers already shut down though a while back? I only know because I recently got a vita, but I did see there were community servers. No idea how all that works though lol

      The PSP and Vita servers were already down for a while, but you could still play at least 4U and Generations online. I think you still can right now. But yes there are community servers and you can play online on Citra!
