Well and for ACNL it literally is the last day (for online activities that is)
I opened the article expecting to read about that and was surprised it was AC:NH
Isn't this still a wildly popular game? Is it closing?
It is not. This is the author's thoughts on what it will be like when eventually it gets shut down.
I would imagine someone will end up making some kind of service/app to connect to each other P2P with emulators, just as the old games have.
A nice read and a reminder of how strange lockdown was.
I'm just hoping it's not another 12 years for the next one.
I don't think it would be a problem when Nintendo would actually support it for longer than a year or two.
It's so strange how they didn't care with this one. New Leaf shipped with way more content than NH ever got and even received a massive update 4 years later. Meanwhile, NH doesn't even have a second upgrade for Nook's Cranny.
