Thank you
Rip Will U and Nintendo 3DS Online. You will be miss. 2011-2024
😭 I know
RIP The Legends of Nintendo (defienitily 3DS). 😢❤
2011!! Holy shit I'm old
Wii U*
@@SuperMayrios Someone really wrote it Will U...
RIP Kid Icarus: Uprising
A lot of gems are being lost here.
it is not completely lost, you can already play it online on Pretendo Network
im going to play it for the last hours
Hacking time
No?
😭
Thank you to Mario Kart 7 for being my first experience of playing Mario Kart online.
It was always so hilarious when a blue shell appeared on the bottom screen, EVERYBODY would start backing up because they didn't want to be in first place when the blue shell hit.
MK7 online has kinda been insane after everyone forgot about it. Hackers were being hackers and Metal Mario B Dasher and Red Monster Wheels were flooding the lobbies
That funny i got a update on mario kart cp
Same! I also did it with my cousins back then, lol.
@@sahaprocks7751 So, it was like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe lobbies before the Wave 4 update?
@@SaltyToad00 I'm pretty sure there were no hackers there. And if there are which ie super unlikely, they're not as abundant as in MK7's online
I'm gonna pretendo I didn't hear this, if you catch my drift
I did catch your drift, but sadly if you want to play, let's say, Pokémon, you can't use the PSS until Pretendo doesn't open servers for those games too
But Pretendo requires to HACK the 3DS and I kind of LACK the Technical KNOW HOW to do So that's its NOT worth permanently damaging both the 3DS and my computers hard drive at the same time.
@@veghesther3204I am terrible with computers but was able to put cds on my Wii U and 3ds a couple weeks ago
@@veghesther3204 your being a dummy.
It's very easy to mod a system and very much worth it
@@veghesther3204Eh, I had never hacked anything before but managed to do it without damaging anything. There’s no risk in it as long as you follow a good recent tutorial
I remember the following:
- Sending messages via Swapnote
- Playing Mariokart 7 online
- Playing Animal Crossing Minigames on Club Tortimer
- Posting Art on Colors 3D
- Collecting Badges on Nintendo Badge Arcade
- Messaging/trolling on Miiverse.
- Recieving Spotpass notifications through Nintendo Video and Poledex 3D
- Streetpass (Spotpass) puzzles
Definitly gonna miss this Era of Nintendo the most. especially before 2017
I think Colors 3D is independent of Nintendo, so it might survive the purge
Swapdoodle
@@Slashser colors 3d is also affected by the shutdown
@@tiwitiwi6202 But the website where everything is uploaded is the same as the Switch one isn't it?
@@Slashser yes. the devs are finding new ways like manually uploading the painting to their website
Thank you for the shoutout! We're definitely going to miss the Wii U and OG Mario Maker online. So many memories...
You can always continue playing with Pretendo
@@STICKOMEDIA pretendo is rlly hard to install time consuming clickbait tutorials , yknow we not pro hacker tech gurus .
@@crypticforevzThe 3ds is literally the easiest console to hack 😭
@crypticforevz
I hacked my 3ds in 10 minutes with no tech experience theres no reason not to now
Truly the end of an era. Thank god Nintendo fans are doing what they should and keeping the servers online with pretendo
Ikr
I can tell things are gonna be grim for Nintendo in the future.
@excitablepack7076 I wish but you and I both know that's not gonna happen
@@idkwhattohaveasausername5828 Just because something is incredibly successful, doesn’t mean it’s better, like Call of Duty since Warzone.
"Can't be replaced"
Pretendo:
True
Let's not forget the 3DS pokémon games, which were the last heyday of the proper GTS where you could REQUEST and OFFER specific pokémon in trades. I picked up Pokémon X the other day at random, and there were a surprising number of people online still offering boons, trades, battles, and just basic connectivity. They may not be the most popular or best generations from a gameplay standpoint, but there are some great connectivity features that simply went away with switch and are still badly missed.
Probably a coincidence but it's shutting down on eclipse day.
An interesting one
Oh yeah that true
Yeah that really intrigues me. I’m deep into astrology as well that would be dope if they were too but it’s probably just a strong synchronicity
Special shout out to Fire Emblem Fates online where you can visit other players bases. When the online shuts off, we won't be able to get points for prizes anymore and more importantly, we can't challenge those absolute madlads who had insane Skill combinations for their armies that we could carry over into our game and snap the balance in half.
The way it'll be much harder to forge items without easy access to minerals from visiting other bases is so annoying😭😭
New players won't have full armies of aptitude gods
Pretendo will keep this wonderful little community alive. Man, I miss and love Fates and its online functionality - with Pretendo I can jump back in for the first time in years :)
I'm both glad and frustrated that you mentioned Pretendo. I'm glad you mentioned it in the first place, since it would help people know about it. I'm frustrated that you mentioned it so briefly and in such a negative way when you said you doubted anyone would go through the effort, when IMO you should've encouraged people to check out Pretendo and said that they would still be able to play these games online (especially SMM1 and Splatoon 1) if they check out and use Pretendo.
Exactly.
Pretendo isn't ready for the big leagues....
But eventually it'll be better for the region unlocking
No worries people, Pretendo is here to stay, they'll revive the 3DS online
and the wii u online to!
@@secondchannel-ow4jmReminds me I got to hack me will u to play splatoon (once that’s up)
This is the first console gen I've been apart of for it's entire lifespan beginning to end, and it's crushing me from the inside.
R.I.P splatoon 1 turf battles. it's been fun having you. (2014-2024)
Actually it was 2015
17:52
@claudespeed5423 I see what you did there 😉
They shut down Miiverse on my Birthday, they shut down Flipnote Hatena on my day of Graduation.
And now the 3DS and Wii U online is shutting down on the same day as the eclipse
It sounds like the apocalypse is coming because of this.
😢
Now we can truly say that these consoles are dead. No new games, they aren't being made anymore, Miiverse is dead, the Eshops are dead and now the online is dead as well... Rest in peace, you truly were great consoles in my eyes...
Do you really not know about Pretendo and how virtually everything worth doing online with a 3DS or Wii U will STILL be possible come April 9th? I mean the whole rest of the world knows about it. Miiverse is making a comeback, we've been able to Freeshop on the Wii U for a while now, and online lives on beyond April 8th. Mod your console and use Pretendo!!!
@@Great-Documentaries Oh sure I know about it! But most people don't unfortunately, and well I mainly talked about it being "officially" dead cause all official support for consoles are gone lol
@@Great-Documentaries Does Pretendo come with homebrewing your 3DS?
@@reverbthevocal421no you have to download it
I think the bigger issues lie in games with unlockables/challenges that rely on online play. Kid Icarus Uprising, Fire Emblem Awakening, there’s content that’s just straight up gone thanks to that.
Pretendo
I’m not sure about Fire Emblem Awakening, but with KIU, you have to acquire feathers in the treasure hunts, and once you do that, you can use them on the online challenges that are otherwise impossible to complete. With Palutena’s board, however, you cannot waste a single feather. Waste one, and you’ll never be able to complete that board.
Thank God for Pretendo Network. I already made an account for it.
Pretendo Network?
@@gamerhero9559 Fanmade revival for Wii U and 3DS online services. Only available with modded systems.
@@gamerhero9559 the revival service of Nintendo network
@@gamerhero9559it’s basically a online server you can get access to by modding your 3ds or Wii U. It aims to recreate everything Nintendo network does.
@@gamerhero9559 fan made servers for when the WII U and 3ds servers shut down.. you have to mode the console for it .. which many people dont know how to do
i play my 2ds everyday and honestly i cannot find anyone online or anything to do online tbh. to me its kinda just like everyone abandoned it. nobodys playing smash 4 or mario kart 7 anymore and barely anyones playing new leaf
this feels less like "nintendos killing the 3ds and wii u!!" and more like nintendos giving a proper burial to something everyone left to die
The only time I saw people playing Sm4sh online recently was during Hungrybox's Sm4sh Sendoff online tournament.
Lots of ppl still play Mario kart 7 ur system is probably glitching. Joining recent players can help with matchmaking issues.. I’m always finding lobbies n it gets intense; real fun experience
I always find mk7 lobbies, Smash on the other hand is if I can get lucky and at a certain time. (For Glory 1v1s)
I hopped on mk7 and sm4sh today and got full lobbies
if you think the 3ds is dead look at the dsi (its still up to kaeru wfc)
Nintendo Wii U 3DS/2DS Online Shutdown Timezones
4PM-Pacific Time
5PM-Mountain Time
6PM-Central Time
7PM-Eastern Time
1 am utc
Thank You for this. I truly appreciate it
One of the saddest times
Thank you very much
It's very annoying especially since some free content or downloads will also be gone. It's a strange timeline we are in where pre online feature games can have all the content on disc while wii and u plus 3ds you better have them saved or else.
The big examples that flash in my mind as examples of the free content are Fire Emblem Awakening as well as the Professor Layton games. Awakening had 6 chapters with 6 extra characters released as free dlc and those will just be gone now, in addition to the Layton games having over 800 puzzles as free dlc that will be lost as well.
@@wrongtree4975 Those have already been lost for over a year now.
All free DLC and extra content poofed when the eShop was closed last March.
You can just use one of the hacked shops to get the dlc lol. @@wrongtree4975
Not if pretendo exists tho right?
@@wrongtree4975 I think with a modded 3DS you could still get that stuff though.
Thanks for the shoutout! I was literally just playing splatoon 1 today! 3 is great, but the first game has a certain charm to it that I feel was never quite recaptured in the sequels.
Also Urchin Underpass went through a redesign, and that updated version of the stage is ONLY accessible via online multiplayer, not the battle dojo or story stages, meaning that unless it’s added to Splatoon 3 it is going to be completely lost media in a way.
RIP Wii U
Bravely defaults hurt a lot with no help to reconstruction
Once the online shuts down, let the hacking begin! First thing I’m going to do is put Virtual Boy on my 3DS
Already did that and the red viper emulator looks great.
But you need the EDS to be connected to the internet in order to homebrew your system, right? Now is a little too late for that.
@@phantomforcers1 while i did used the internet, I'm pretty sure it didn't used Nintendo servers.
@@istaffa that's pretty calm then, I was planning on fixing my 2dsxl and then modding it. I just didn't have the time or means and I thought it was gone.
Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U also have online based Challenges that will become impossibile to unlock after their online shut down.
Knowing people got these beforehand satisfies me.
I just checked smash 3ds and didnt see any online missions
@@mr.curtis6730
You sure? It's been a while since I played Smash 4 but I remember those. Ultimate had them as well.
@@mds_main yea i litterly fired up my 3ds and checked twice, the one im missing is for all head gear but i got that prior to my save being corrupted, the only thngs you wont be able to get is every milestone and dlc trophys unless you bought every dlc
Ultimate definitely has online ones, but I checked the 3DS and WiiU challenges recently and they can all be gotten offline.
Xenoblade Chronicles X will definitely be missing a chunk of its game without online, that's gonna be sorely missed.
Isn't there just an optional online battle mode in XCX? It doesn't seem like something that will be badly missed. I never even wanted to try it in the first place.
@@Compucles It's pretty useful for post-game grind, since you get tickets to purchase the rarer item drops.
@@gmaster2647 Some items are straight up unobtainable without online, so goodbye completionism.
I'm glad I can even get Splatoon 1 the best last days it will have. Once it's April 8th, I will move on and play the online modes for Splatoon 2 and 3 despite how sad this really seems to be right now.
Im sad this is happening, I never got to play online much due to having weak internet at the time. I only got to play online from either my relatives house or my brothers house. Now that I have better internet ive been using this as a chance to play what ive been missing out.
The PS3 was released in 2006 and was discontinued in 2017, but PSN still works on it. If Sony can keep online services on a 7th generation console alive, why can't Nintendo keep services on their 8th generation consoles alive? Nintendo is the only company that disables features on their discontinued consoles. It started with them removing channels on the Wii like the Weather and News channels. then they eventually removed the Wii shop. then they removed the Wii U and 3DS Eshop, and now they're removing online multiplayer on the Wii U and 3DS. By removing the Wii U and 3DS Eshop, they've also made it impossible to buy retro games on a modern Nintendo Console because they're not selling them on Switch.(Switch online is like a rental service)
Ironically on the same day as the eclipse
Exactly! No one else in mentioning this!
So… are we not going to mention triforce hero’s?
Y’all, there’s already fan made servers at the ready. You’ll still be able to play online and use all of these features
Now can we PLEASE stop acting like it’s the end of the world?
Yeah Wimmfi is hilariously good😅 so I hope this alternative server is to.
The end of an era 2011 - 2024 😭😭😭
The Wii U Total Eclipse of Shutdowns!
Honestly I'm going to miss the Wii u online and 3ds online for both my consoles. I met my first bestie on Wii u when we used to play Minecraft Together. We had lots of fun,we played lots of matches in Minecraft and we created so many worlds and memories. I'm going to miss those days where I used to play Online with my friend and played Mario Kart 8,Super Mario Maker and many more games that I played on Wii u. Goodbye Wii u and 3ds online. You will be missed
1:35 Don't worry, I'll say it for you!
Mario Kart 8's original battle mode on Wii U was a dumpster fire that shouldn't have been added in the first place to spare us all the disappointment and the Deluxe version is infinitely, *objectively* better.
You probably made Scott the Woz cry tears of joy with this message. If you know, you know.
And that matters to non-Switch owners how?
@@Great-Documentaries Who owns a Wii U but not a Switch?
Now I’m just saying here but atleast it had Ghost elimination and if everyone is out with one standing it ends.
I wish Pretendo was talked about more in this video, a single remark at the end will go over many heads
We've already mentioned them in a few others videos, and I'm sure we'll have at least one more mention after Monday
No because then if Nintendo finds out they’ll sue
@@slapshotjack9806 what would they sue for? I don't see them having a case there
@@MadMaxxed1224 copyright
They might call it copyright, but we should start calling it copywrong... because they wrong people for copying things.
5:49
Thank you for telling me about these! The lack of Mystery Mushrooms in the sequel was a pain for me as well, so I’ll definitely be downloading these levels!
Sadly there are other stuffs that also will be missed:
Super Mario Maker: there are some mystery mushroom costumes available only on the special event's levels by Nintendo and not tied to an amiibo, also the alternative to get the costumes without using an amiibo will be lost.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf: some items can only be gotten in the online mode of the island but since there are tons of other items locked behind amiibo and regional downloadable letters, no matter what the game was almost impossible to 100%.
And I'm pretty sure there are more games with unlockable stuffs tied to the online.
There’s another thing for ACNL: the dream achievement. You have to use the dream suite and experience lots of dreams for the bronze silver and gold badges. 50 for bronze. 200 for silver. 500 for gold.
iwata's last legacy 😢 gone
The Switch is Iwata's living legacy. Nintendo themselves even alluded to this.
You say that like Iwata didn't help develop the Switch before his passing.
@@kartuz0 yes but since iwata's gone nintendo's online services is forever changed. i had the switch in its early days and playing games online was free back then
5:02
“All [SMM1] user levels will be wiped from existence”
Pretendo: “Nuh uh”
Happy early birthday, I appreciate the videos youve made in all those
Nintendo keeps shutting down their old content and it sucks and we can’t even emulate it despite them not selling it anymore
Yes you can it's called cemu
Other companies do this same thing. They can't keep these servers running forever.
@@SaltyToad00 Not forever, but certainly longer than this.
Microsoft kept the Xbox 360 online for 18 YEARS. Read that again. 18 YEARS.
Nintendo could have done the same for 3DS.
@@video-luver769 Because Xbox 360 games are playable on the Series S and X.
@@SaltyToad00they literally could and it wouldn't even cost 1/1000 of 1% of a years profit. I know normal people running counter strike servers for twice as long out of thier own pockets don't lick Nintendo's shit on this one
I’m gonna miss playing Yo-Kai Watch Blasters’ online multiplayer. I have so many fond memories of joining lobbies and taking down ultra bosses with others.
Meh. I never really experienced that. Mostly because I was to busy RAGING at Blasters because it HATES ME!
RIP The Legendary Era of Wii U and 3DS The Part of my childhood my whole life. I still have, play and love my Wii U and 2DSXL (3DS for me, because it's almost The Same Thing). My favourite Wii U Game is Super Mario 3D World and favourite 3DS Game is Pokémon Omega Ruby. Farewell Wii U and 3DS my friends of my childhood. 😢❤
I’m so sad that it’s shutting down. I loved minecraft on the Wii U, and all my ds games aren’t as fun offline.
Thanks for the memories Wii U and 3DS online service. Also, happy early birthday Joey!
For Splatoon 1, Mahi Mahi Resort changed the most. It doesn't even feel the same as Splatoon 1. It's only the same in name. There is another feature that will be gone is the Global Trading System from Gen 6 and 7. It is on Pokemon Home's mobile app but it just doesn't hit the same.
The only 3DS and Wii U games I play was Smash 3DS and Wii U, Mario Maker, Pokken Tournament, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 and others
It really makes you realize how stripped down the Switch is compared to the 3DS and Wii U.
No Steetpass (I can understand since the Switch isn’t as portable as the 3DS)
No Swapnote (always someone to ruin it for everyone)
No FlipNote (the new one really didn’t have many features in our region compared to Japan’s)
The New Leaf experience (RIP Rocco series, never to be seen, again.)
I can go on, but you get my point.
What is the rocco series?
You do realize that the Switch was riding the failure of the Wii U right? You can't just pack all those features in again just to have it fail.
The Switch becoming successful was not in the cards for Nintendo.
@@jaydenc367Furniture set that was introduced in New Leaf that hadn’t been seen outside Pocket Camp since.
@@TomoEriGoto I see
Miiverse.. (just the console not only for games , but also interaction).. Miis.. the Nintendo charme..
Minecraft Wii U was my life, sad to see it go
I have that installed as well
And the funny-but-not-so-funny thing is that this happened almost 10 years ago to the Wii’s WFC.
To be entirely fair in that case, that wasn't Nintendo's doing. Wii's internet went down because GameSpy, who were hosting the Wii servers, went out of business, and frankly considering the Wii U was already out by that point, I can't blame Nintendo not looking for a workaround.
But this... Was completely avoidable, TBH.
@@video-luver769 I agree and that’s interesting to know. If only 6th grade me knew this before trying to play Mario Kart Wii in 2020.
@@video-luver769no it wasn’t the Wii U sucked
Happy Birthday! Hopefully it isnt too hard to homebrew these consoles and try experience these features still!
Please mod your 3DS and Wii U and use Pretendo. We need as many people on the replacement service as possible. Don’t just pack up and leave
also mk8 wii u has firehopping which made online a lot more competitive and fun which is something mk8dx doesnt have😔
Let’s hope these games get the same thing like Mario kart Wii, online servers
They do with Pretendo.
Remember, it isn't really the end. Pretendo still exists, and it is *better* than the official servers, because it has resurrected Miiverse and Miiverse functionality! The Wii U and 3DS are here to stay. They will never die :)
You won't be able to wonder trade in the Pokémon games, so definitely do that to get unobtainable Pokémon.
Happy Birthday Joey! Mine was yesterday
Happy birthday to you too!! Hope it was a great one! 🥳
I'd argue that the worst loss in Smash U/3DS is the custom attacks
But that doesn’t require online
@@RayoMcQueen95990 Neither do any of the other Smash Bros. losses, but you still won't be able to use them in online play anymore.
7:54 the gutted mahi-mahi flounder Heights is not really high anymore, and is now one of my least favorite maps with the removal of some of the grates for options
In short, the game is more focused on fun than competitive viability
Truly the end of an Era. I remembered like it was just yesterday when I got my 3DS when I was in middle school and the Wii U in high school. From downloading and playing demos on the 3ds, watching Nintendo Video (such as Dinosaur Office, Rifle Spiral music video, Kid Icarus animation and that one Kirby Right Back at Ya 3D animation), to playing Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon religiously online on the Wii U. As well as posting a bunch on the Miiverse as if it were Facebook/Twitter.
I still have my 3ds but sucks that I got rid of my Wii U and didn't get it again when they announced the closure of the eShop. To this day, I regret not getting it. But it is what it is. I genuinely enjoyed it all. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. I was hoping it could go a little further.
The online is getting shutdown the same day as the Eclipse..... spooky 👻
To the Event Courses in Super Mario Maker:
I started rebuilding some of them and already uploaded some of them in SMM2, but I don’t have an online membership in that account anymore
I am also thinking about doing the official Builder courses and the 10 Mario Challenge Levels next
I think the world will be a better place without Wii sports club
It absolutely would. That game is better off forgotten.
I mean you could buy the physical version which was released as just one game
Why? The games were all improved over the original versions and had online play added. Three of the games may be redundant now, but they weren't (except arguably Golf due to "Wii Sports Resort") when the game was released, and it still has the best versions of Baseball and Boxing.
@Compucles I think he mean the way it was released on the eshop
Oh wow I just realized you guys got your name back, congrats!
Meeting people on Tortimer's Island in New Leaf was a core memory for me. I can't believe they didn't carry this over to New Horizons.
I was able to get my 3ds hooked up to the internet a couple weeks ago or so, and I’ve been playing Mario kart 7 online, and also looking at the internet browser a bit. I might not have spent that much time using the online services of Nintendo Network on the 3ds, but I’m still glad that I got to play online just in time, and as such, it is a bit sad, especially for those who have spent the last many, many years using the online networks.
Happy birthday! Also... Farewell, Mario Maker 1, Mario Kart 7, and Mario Kart 8... 😢😢
Another feature in new leaf is the monthly items you get at the post office that requires wifi along with their’s.
You forgot to mention something about Animal Crossing New Leaf, some of the Badges in the profile card required Internet usage, one such example you did mention is the Dream Suite. Once you unlocked the Dream Suite, you would have countless hours of fun. It was fun visiting other dream towns and the online Tourtimer Island. It's really sad how certain badges are impossible to obtain now.
Nintendo needs to step up its online in general, no reason that consoles almost 20 years old are set up better and still able to play online, while Nintendos last gen only lasted a good ten years and I actually loved the miiverse. That was probably the best thing they did it just never took off.
0:08 That’s funny because it’s shutting down the day before my birthday so…
Also, happy early birthday
The Switch Online service will also be gone forever. The Virtual Console must and has to return in the Switch successor. It will now be impossible to make subscription payments again.
Switch Online will deserve it.
I like that you gave PK a shoutout
Will we still be able to view the Mario Kart Channel in MK7 to check our player stats, such as how many total coins we’ve collected?
The PKSparkxx shoutout was totally unexpected but cool.
QUESTION: at the end of the video, Andre mentioned pretendo (the online service replacement). Would I need to mod my wii u to use it, or do I just use a custom dns to connect like wiimfii?
Another aspect I forgot about, themes and the badge arcade, no reason they can't be transferable even to the Switch, and the Switch is super lacking in creativity with its menus. May seem trivial, but decorating your 3ds with themes and badges made it more special and unique. Those will be gone with the online, hell we won't even be able to switch badges out in the badge arcade with the online function gone. So do I settle on a Pokemon themed background? Smash Bros? Indie with Shantae, Box Boy, Shovel knight etc, or Mario? That's going to be a huge loss.
It took me 7 days, but i got all the legendarys to transfer to home from x, as, and moon.
I have tear in my eyes.
They can’t keep getting away with this!
I read this in Jesse's voice (breaking bad)
They can do whatever they want
Can We Have The E-Shop Back For ONE DAY BEFORE ONLINE GOES
The part of Colors 3D that will be missed for me is the ability to use background pics for color picking.
Rip Mario & Sonic Sochi 2014 for Wii U.
I only have three days or less to do as many worldwide versus matches as possible. Is anyone up for it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Going to spend the last couple days with Mario Kart 7 and Badge Arcade
Thank you very much!:)
Gamexplain the Best choice!
The battle mode in 8 was honestly really addicting, I really loved the concept it had and tracks like Toad's Harbour and Yoshi Valley were Excellent to play battle on.
I'm really gonna miss that mode, it was So unique and will probably never return....
That is an unpopular opinion. Take my upvote
@@catguy4996 Very appreciated
6:30 Someone finally said it! New Horizons was so half-baked and rushed.

@@GameXplain Thanks you too!
Now we’re gonna have to pay a subscription to play scarescraper online.
3:55 theres also The Unova Pokemon League Stage & Find Mii that we are also losing 😭
They're both in Ultimate
Those are both in Ultimate.
It's less bad than what people think. Fanservers are not done yet so we have to wait for full functionality, but they were already shaping up to be better than official because they restore previously shut down functionality...mostly Miiverse...and they are not regionlocked. The biggest issue being that the New3ds micro SD requires you to have a screwdriver for really small screws to homebrew and people like me can't be bothered to get one.(I tried to open it up, but I only managed to scratch up the inner coverplate really good. I guess if I ever want it modded, I need to pay someone to do it for me. I need outside help for restoring some worn down functionality anyways, and maybe replacing the C stick with one that does not suck nuts.)
08:40 For Pretendo you just have to enter a DNS in your internet settings, so no worries on still playing online
LEGO Dimensions is my big one just because of how many different stages there are to add once you have the accompanying character/level/vehicle pack(s) to unlock them.
We've got the same bday! Even worse (for me) than the online going away, I lost my Mario Maker 2 copy a while ago and now that people are talking about Mario Maker since it's unplayable, I really want to play but can't find my cartridge 😭
everyone should mod their 3ds & Wii U to join the Pretendo network after Nintendo abandon's us, modding the consoles is very easy thanks to great tutorials here on the tubes... thanks to the modders for all there hard work and dumbing it down for us, you guys are awesome.
Bro or Woman. Can you explain to me how to join pretendo network on the 3ds. I've already modded it with 100+ games with a 128gb micro sd card.
