"Fan Efforts Preserve Nintendo's 3DS and Wii U DLC as Servers Shut Down"

Before Nintendo shut down the 3DS and Wii U servers, a community project called the SpotPass Archival Project successfully gathered 23,000 data dumps to preserve DLC and other content from being lost forever. This effort involved rallying the 3DS and Wii U Homebrew modding community to save system data sent via Nintendo's Spot Pass program. The project aims to publish a completed archive of the collected data and is working on ways to preserve specific games like StreetPass Mii Plaza. This victory in video game preservation highlights the ongoing battle against time and the importance of preserving gaming history.
