Nintendo Network

The Nintendo Network was the online service for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. A Nintendo Network ID was required to use it on Wii U, with some apps and features locked away without one on 3DS. The service offered online play until April 8, 2024, and until Monday March 27th, 2023, also offered the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS and the Wii U.
