Nintendo shut down online servers for Wii U and 3DS, marking the end of online multiplayer gaming on these consoles. This transition directs games like Mario Kart 7 and Splatoon on 3DS and the original Super Mario Maker on Wii U towards single-player or local co-op experiences.
Despite its initial lukewarm reception compared to the DS, the 3DS evolved into a success with titles like Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and unique online exclusives like Pushmo and BoxBoy! The Wii U, however, following the widely acclaimed Wii, struggled to find a significant audience, with a confusing identity and limited exploration of its unique gameplay mechanics.
