“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).

    I’ve heard it’s full of hackers, but the original Splatoon had really interesting (good and bad) maps that are worth trying if you’ve only played the third

      Oh, sorry, I didn’t specify, I meant for 3DS.

        Ah, got ya. The only ones for the 3DS I can think of are fantasy life and Monster Hunter.

        Oh, and I guess that Zelda game, Triforce heroes? Not sure if it had online co-op, but if it does it might be worth a try.
