News / Pretendo Network: You can now StreetPass your 3DS friends from anywhere in the world! ----------
Have you had trouble finding anyone to #StreetPass for Happy Home Showcase in New Leaf?
If you have, the team at @pretendo have just made it easier! With the latest version of Nimbus (which allows you to connect to the network), you're now able to StreetPass people online from anywhere in the world!
However, it's not that simple. Due to the buggy implementation of StreetPass for some games, you'll only be able to StreetPass people you've friended on your console (well that's 0 for me). It makes use of a feature called StreetPass Relay which was used at Nintendo Zones which allowed you to upload your data and download others.
I think I'll just stick to real StreetPasses for now though (I got 3 in the last year). Anyone reading from the South West or West Midlands?

Not sure what this means for Animal Crossing yet, new games seem to release roughly 2 years into a consoles cycle (Wild World about 1-1.5yrs, LGTTC 2yrs, New Leaf 1.5-2.25yrs, New Horizons 3yrs), so at the latest, I would expect the next Animal Crossing game to potentially release for 2027.

@MichiganJoeFrog @animal_crossing get it from Universal Updater, it's that simple!
News / StreetPass: Modders have gotten StreetPass to go online! ----------
If you're a #Nintendo3DS owner, you might be pleased to hear that modders have made an online version of #StreetPass called NetPass, which allows you to StreetPass users on your 3DS.
It's great if you're struggling to find people, although I have thankfully had some StreetPasses with 3 people in the last year, 2 of which gave me Animal Crossing New Leaf data!
Jon from the YouTube channel Good Vibes Gaming made a great video on it: https://youtu.be/Z50tuxYvAO0

News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Online services for the Wii U and 3DS has shut down ----------
The time is up for online services for the #WiiU and #3DS consoles.
It is now April 9th at 1am BST, which means online services for both consoles are no longer available. This means you will be no longer able to splat anymore squids, challenge anyone to a Mario Kart race or even try to show off your bowling skills on official Nintendo servers on the #NintendoWiiU or #Nintendo3DS consoles.
To continue playing online services on both consoles, you will need to mod your consoles. Guides to do that are available on https://wiiu.hacks.guide and https://3ds.hacks.guide. After that, install @pretendo and follow the brilliant guides for installation for Wii U or 3DS. They cover everything you need to know about modding your console and getting Pretendo set up (I've helped add some commits to the Pretendo guide to make it easier to get started).
If you want to know what the shutdown means for either the Splatoon or Animal Crossing franchises, please visit our page at https://experiencersinternational.github.io/labs/fedi/splatoon/onlineclosure.
It's unfortunate that many popular games did not last a decade of online support, but it was good whilst it lasted.
If you have any memories of online from either consoles, I would love to hear it in a reply down below!

Whether you're running into Blanka on the final days of Tortimer Island online or you're visiting Tortimer at the plaza, April Fools Day is happening on Monday!
Might go and experience it myself for the first time as well as exploring the last days on the island.

News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Contribute SpotPass data now! ----------
If you're familiar with the #WiiU and #3DS, you may know that SpotPass is one of the key components of the online services (particularly back when both consoles were still actively supported).
SpotPass will cease to exist once Nintendo Network shuts down and revival services such as @pretendo will need SpotPass data for some online services to function properly. Right now, data for SpotPass can be insufficient in places and in order to make sure it still works properly, they need your dumps.
If you have a unmodded/modded Wii U console or a modded 2DS/3DS console, please visit https://spotpassarchive.github.io/ to learn how to dump your data now. It's quick and easy to do and it won't take long. I did it personally myself last night

@animal_crossing oh no... this doesn't sound good when it comes from RTGame
@animal_crossing much faster than my pre-order for Splatoon 3, my pre-order for that came at 5pm on launch day.
Funnily enough that was also launched in interesting circumstances as well given that the night before I was watching a stream of ThatSrb2Dude playing it early and well the chat was filled with only one thing...
News / Anniversaries: Animal Crossing New Horizons is officially 4 years old today ----------
Just a quick one, Animal Crossing New Horizons has now turned 4 years old today, releasing 4 years ago on Friday March 20th 2020 (it was certainly a fun time, I'm lucky my pre-order came in at like 9am on launch day).
Do you have any memories of picking up ACNH 4 years ago? Let me know in the replies below.
Thanks @yassie\_j for instilling sanity into me.

Completely unintentionally missed Shamrock Day from the list, sorry!
@tired_potato I think I've definitely just made that Lemmy community more active 😂
I can't personally say that I would be interested in Animal Crossing Lego though unfortunately.
Seems to be released next Wednesday by the information on the website (13th of March).
Are any of you picking it up? Let me know if you are!
@scribblemacher @animal_crossing I honestly should open it up again, I've never finished my debts
Haven't played for about a year at this point to be honest, my most frequently played now tends to be New Leaf.
Pretty sure I won today in #ACNL, did pretty well this fishing tourney!
My best was an 18.95in horse mackerel today.
Decided to take an image posing with Chip! I would love to see your best catches if you want to share them btw 😄
