"Fans Rally to Keep Nintendo's Wii U and 3DS Games Online Despite Server Shutdown"

Nintendo has shut down online services for 3DS and Wii U, but fans have managed to keep their favorite games online by leaving their systems on, defying the planned shutdown. The Splatoon community rallied together to keep the game alive, while 3DS Pokemon players also found themselves inexplicably managing to complete online trades for hours longer than expected. Despite some players being forcibly removed, the community's determination to hang on until the very end is evident, although all good things must eventually come to an end. Online functionality is still available on Nintendo Switch.
