As of April 8th, 2024, the Nintendo Network services for the Wii U and 3DS have been shutdown, preventing players from playing games online on said consoles anymore. I decided to make a little video sharing my own personal experiences on Nintendo Network as a tribute to the service. Alongside that, I also decided to talk about Pretendo Network, an open source revival service for Wii U and 3DS online, and the future of that. Feel free to share your Nintendo Network experiences in the comments below!
