So the discontinuation of Nintendo network has already been announced, but the eShop (although mostly unusable) will still be up for some time, if I've understood correctly. When are all types of online communication between the client and Nintendo ceasing? Their official statement is: "In early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end for Nintendo 3DS* and Wii U software. This also includes online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution".
