Are there new users, really?

I'm all about "companies should be required to make content they sold available as long as they exist" for the recent Sony deleting videos story, but online multiplayer takes meaningful maintenance for security reasons.

I'd support a requirement to open the protocols and provide the appropriate signatures to enable alternative replacements to fill in the voids if there's demand, but you couldn't really apply it retroactively and all the Nintendo stuff, up to and including the switch, is already hacked anyways, so it wouldn't make a practical difference.

I think they are talking about the "New 3Ds" which was the last version of 3DS they created

Now, in an update, it's been discovered that new users can't go online in any games on 3DS or Wii U

lol Nintendo and their naming, though.

Apparently they've since resolved the issue, though EOL for online is still early 24.
