When Super Mario Maker was initially released for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U in 2015, it’s hard to say if Nintendo knew exactly what it was setting itself up for. Opening up the opportunity for fans to create their own Mario levels and upload them for the community to play is a fun concept, and everyone was able to find something they loved about it. However, as we draw closer to Nintendo’s server shutdown, players are racing to complete as many levels as possible before they’re taken away. In fact, one group is taking…

Time marches forward, and with it, gaming must also keep itself relevant. A few months back, we talked about how Nintendo was ending online support for two of its now-defunct consoles. A recent update from the company has since narrowed down exactly when that’s going to be happening.

Earlier this year, the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS were dealt a pretty big blow when the Kyoto-based company discontinued both systems’ online shops (the Switch’s successor is expected to come out next year, so it makes sense). While that was the case, you were allowed to play games online using those systems. Well, we have more bad news; Nintendo is shutting down the Wii U and 3DS’ online Play months ahead of schedule. It wasn’t supposed to happen for another four months Nintendo agreed to keep the servers on for a while…
