This is a pretty sad day for Nintendo fans, as the company has finally turned off online play for both the 3DS and Wii U.

Today, fans came together to get on the computers while they were still up, run, and stay there until the end. A lot of people on social media have been playing their last games of Splatoon, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart, and other games.

Many Nintendo 3DS and Wii U fans have said goodbye to the online service on social media and other parts of the internet. Those fans are listed below:

Well, that’s it for the Wii U and 3DS servers (for me, at least).

Some people are still connected to the servers, but it’ll be a matter of time until they get disconnected.

Captured the moment the 3ds online shut down, what a way to.

Was racing in rainbow road, and was so close to finishing.

Long live Nintendo Network. pic.twitter.com/4R6EwXlYUq
