Nintendo knew that their fans were tough, but perhaps not as much as they have shown by shutting down the online servers of games like ‘Splatoon‘, ‘Mario Kart 7’ or ‘Pokémon X/Y’. There are still a few survivors, without access to online options but attending, in a fascinating way, the gradual destruction of an already silent world, feeling like the last survivors standing. And now, ‘Pokémon’ has lost its last one.
It will no longer be done with everyone
After the closure of the 3DS and Wii U servers, there was only one person willing to never turn off her console: Amanda. And she has lasted quite a while: specifically, 28 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes before giving in to the evidence and finally turning off her handheld console. At least she didn’t leave without sending a message to all those who were still supporting her.
“I just want to thank everyone who cheered me on throughout the last month while I resisted being online. I never thought I would end up being the last player of Pokémon on Nintendo Network, but it happened”. And yes, it’s true: the audience was supporting her: even in the moments when she feared damaging her Nintendo 3DS she kept it on. Until the end.
However, everything comes to an end, and before going back into anonymity, he has taken the opportunity to make it clear that this is “the end of an era”, bidding farewell to the last player of ‘Mario Kart 7’ who can no longer find anyone to race with. Now it’s official. It has been almost a month, but Nintendo Network for 3DS is completely dead. The Wii U still has a little more time, but sooner or later it will also fall. It is the fate of destiny.
