News / Nintendo Network: Splatoon 1, Animal Crossing New Leaf and Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer online services closing on April 9th

Some unfortunate news that we have today. Nintendo has officially announced that online services will be shutting down for the #WiiU and #3DS on the 9th of April at 12am BST (the Nintendo UK article says 8th for some reason, ignore lol).

This means that you will no longer be able to join your friends in Tortimer's Island or in their town. No longer able to upload your amazing homes online. And, you'll no longer be able to splat your friends online.

It's a truly sad day.

If you haven't already, I would highly advise you to modify your Wii U and 3DS so you can keep playing online. @pretendo is an amazing service that attempts to restore online functionality.

Just as a disclaimer, I am not responsible for any damage you may do by modifying your console.

To get started, visit https://wiiu.hacks.guide or https://3ds.hacks.guide depending on your device. After that, Pretendo has some great guides on how to install their software (which I've helped contribute to): 3DS Wii U.

Before I end off this post, just a quick reminder to join our Matrix space. We are planning to play certain Wii U and 3DS titles before the shutdown. Join it at https://matrix.to/#/#splatoonunofficial:matrix.org.
