But it does not have to if you follow this guide.

 

[LordCBH]

Booooooo. Nintendo sucks ass sometimes.

 

[StereoVsn]

What truly sucks is that some of the DLCs that people bought will be unavailable to redownload. For example Monster Hunter games will be affected.

Wait, so you can't even redownload things you own?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Yet the PS3 from 2006 is still online. Nintendo fucking sucks.

 

[StereoVsn]

Potentially yes. Can still redownload games but for DLC, it's a dice toss.

Wait, Capcom doesn't run their own servers for that?

Apparently not it appears or if they are, they are taking them down. I imagine they aren't alone on this.

 

[Kenpachii]

Reason why i will never take nintendo online seriously.

Xbox 360 still online since 2005.

I know, why can't Nintendo and all their coffers of cash just keep a few simple servers up. I just used the PS3 online store this week for a few games, was able to buy and download and play without issue (took forever to download though lol).

This is something that needs to be looked into. There's no way this should be legal.
If they want to push for an online future, they need to be sure everything we pay, is accessible.

If i'm paying full price for digital games and DLCs then they absolutely need to be available "forever".

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

So you accept this then? You think it's perfectly fine to prevent people access to things they've purchased?

 

[Unknown?]

On a solar eclipse?! They must be on to something! /s

 

[alienator]

it amazes me that this bilion dollar company cant keep their shop(s) up, or offer an alternative, ( i cannot buy VC n64 sin & punishment without taking an online sub, and then still not own the game ?? wth nintendo)

what is being lost?

Around 450 digital-only Wii U games
Around 600 digital-only 3DS games
Around 100 Wii U games that are also available physically
Around 300 3DS games that are also available physically
Nearly 530 Virtual Console games, around 335 of which are not currently available on Nintendo Switch Online

anyways, wiiu softmod since last week and nusspli , see you in hell nintendo.

 

[Aressa]

Move to Switch.

Hahaha, no my failed attempt at wit was about the response to this, not the cause of it.

In other words, the cause of Nintendo's piracy problems is Nintendo.

Unfortunately this is tied to the whole "it's a license not a full purchase " schtick corpos have been pushing.

This is why companies yank licenses even for current systems and that could be songs, movies and so on, not just games.

And yes, this sucks very much.

The European Union has been pushing for so much control over stuff like this that i hope videogames will also be taken into consideration. If it's a license and not a full purchase, don't sell me that license like a full product. Period.

 

[Magic Carpet]

"Pretendo" is such a great name.

 

[TransTrender]

Can you still get game patches?

 

[StereoVsn]

Can you still get game patches?

Theoretically yes, but probably won't work for everything I believe.

You should be able to jail break your 3DS though and use alt stores that I think have the patches and DLC potentially.

 

[LordCBH]

Eshop died last year, and now all online functions died. Used 3DS game carts are absurdly expensive. This is why I have no qualms telling people to CFW their 3DS and then install the hshop. If Nintendo no longer wishes to allow people to give them money, then just take.

 

[digdug2]

Sad, but inevitable. Every console's online functionality will sunset at some point.

 

[NomenNescio]

Redownload ability will still be available it seems. So it's not a complete shutdown of online functionality.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

*3DS*

 

[TintoConCasera]

Nintendo, you used to be cool.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

PS3 online is free. Shows they dont need subcriptions to keep those servers running.

 

[BouncyFrag]

[Ceadeus]

Oh no... I played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate online just yesterday!!

I literally just plugged the WiiU , that's such a sad news

 

[Sleepwalker]

I just hacked my wii u earlier this morning. Time to jack it up with a bunch of retro stuff

 

[ReyBrujo]

Bumping old thread just because Nintendo Japan customer service (kind of) tweeted about it. I guess they received some modded Wii U for repair or something like that.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Can't 1 tiny server in the broom closet at the South Pole handle every 3DS and WiiU request on earth?

Even the Wii Shop channel is still open for re-downloads. They absolutely do have servers still online.

"We stopped supporting this so if you download strange stuff and get your bank details stolen it's not our fault"

 

[justiceiro]

Does anyone can point me to instructions on how to actually get this running on my Wii u? These videos only say the services exists, but don't explains jack.

"We stopped supporting this so if you download strange stuff and get your bank details stolen it's not our fault"

I am in SHAMBLES!


I should have NEVER used my 3ds and WiiU to make bill payments using all of my credit cards….

 

[tkscz]

"We stopped supporting this so if you download strange stuff and get your bank details stolen it's not our fault"

Said exactly this on FB when I saw it. They aren't stopping you, they're covering their own asses if something goes wrong.

 

[HogIsland]

it's a yeesh from me
