Earlier this year, Nintendo announced it would be ending "online play and other functionality" that uses online communication for both 3DS and Wii U as of "early April" 2024.


Now, in an update, it's been discovered that new users can no longer go online in any games on 3DS or Wii U. This information comes from a lengthy blog post on Pretendo, which mentions how this change took place "some time in late December 2023".


If you try to play online with a Nintendo account from here on out, it will reportedly result in 'Error code 106-0303' on Wii U and 'Error Code 006-0303' on 3DS. This is due to new accounts "no longer being synchronized" with servers.


Super Mario Maker players have also been encountering 'Error Code 106-0502' in "early December", but existing users are still able to connect to the game's servers it seems. You can get a more detailed rundown about this on Pretendo.

I guess this means 3rd party games as well? It’s not a big deal Tbh 3rd party usually provide better netcode Anyways.

Unfortunate. No push back by the Nintendo community?

Forever support is not feasible but pulling the plug just one gen removed is early, regardless of whether the console flopped.
