 What's up everyone, Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today we're going to be talking about the Nintendo 3DS server is shutting down. Let's get right into this. So this month, March 2023, the eShops for both the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS are going to be shutting down. What that means is you will not be able to purchase anything new from either one of those shops, but you will still be able to redownload and update any previously purchased game that you did purchase from either one of those shops digitally. For now, the servers will remain active. However, reports do suggest that in the next few years that the 3DS servers will likely completely shut down. Once that happens, you won't be able to update, redownload or play any game online. Any game that you do have physically, you'll still be able to play without issue as long as there is offline features. You won't have access to anything online. Any game that you did purchase from the shops digitally, you'll still be able to play those games, but you again won't have access to anything online. It will just be any of the offline modes. And also keep in mind that if you do delete the game for whatever reason, or if you do factory reset to your 3DS and you don't have it saved on an external memory card, then you will lose that game and you won't have access to redownload it. Again, you'll have to go and purchase a physical copy of that game after that point. Now for the Nintendo 3DS servers completely shutting down, that's not expected to happen at least until 2024 or 2025, but expect it to definitely happen by then because we've seen over the past few years that games individually are closing their servers. It's just a matter of time before the Nintendo 3DS as a whole closes their online servers as well. Thankfully, Nintendo did announce that the eShops were going to be closing a year prior to doing so, so hopefully keep that in mind. That's hopefully Nintendo will do the same thing when they decide to pull the plug on the online service completely and completely close all of the servers for the 3DS. They likely are going to give us a long notice like they did when they announced that they're going to be closing the eShops. Regardless for a lot of fans and a lot of gamers, this is a lot of sad news because a lot of people had a lot of fun on the Nintendo 3DS, not only online but just playing as a whole, so the fact that eventually you could lose some of that content is frustrating for some people, which is understandable, but honestly it was bound to happen at some points. In your opinion, when do you think Nintendo is finally going to pull the plug on the servers and close the servers completely? Let me know down in the comments below and also let me know if you have most of your 3DS game library as physical copies or digital copies.
