No one is happy Nintendo is shutting down the 3DS and Wii U for good
Nintendo has been in the crosshairs for fans of its classic consoles and games for years due to the Nintendo Switch’s lack of virtual console offering but the recent decision to shutter the 3DS and Wii U’s online servers next year has taken it to another level.
It isn’t that fans of older Nintendo consoles don’t understand that the Switch, and its eventual successor, are where most players enjoy the company’s products now and it is logical to sunset older online services. It is actually the opposite, where players would happily move on if Nintendo would give them a legal alternative to play games from those systems in a new way or, at the very least, give them a bit more time.
