Next week marks the end of online play and other functionality for the 3DS and Wii U, and it’s not just Nintendo issuing reminders.
The Monster Hunter developer Capcom has now taken to social media to issue one last warning about the shutdown and certain games which will no longer be playable online. It will also no longer be possible to download DLC for the titles once the services end.
Here’s the full rundown (via social media):
Monster Hunter @monsterhunter – Important Nintendo Information – As previously announced by Nintendo, online services and functionality for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will cease on Monday, April 8th at 4:00pm PDT. Further information on impacted Monster Hunter titles can be found below:

Nintendo 3DS:
– Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
– Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
– Monster Hunter Generations
– Monster Hunter StoriesWii U:

So, if you’ve got any unfinished business with Monster Hunter on the Wii U or 3DS, you’ve got until next week. In March, Nintendo ended the ability to merge unused eShop funds (from the 3DS and Wii U) to a Nintendo Account. It also closed the eShops for these platforms last year, with purchases no longer possible.
