While the Switch is already more than 6 years old, it was launched on March 3, 2017, and everything suggests that its successor will be launched next year (rumor or not, it would be quite logical after all), nintendo talks to us again on this rainy Wednesday August 2 of the Wii Uwhich unfortunately did not meet with the success hoped for by the manufacturer. You may not have known it, but an “urgent maintenance operation” had been launched on Friday, March 3, 2023 to “address a vulnerability related to online play” of Splatoon first of the name and Mario Kart 8. Yes, it’s been 5 months since it’s been possible to have fun on the Web with these old episodes, even if the online was supposed to remain operational despite being unable to purchase content on theeShop of the console, among other stopped services.
Good news, it is therefore from this Thursday, August 3, 2023 that the servers will become operational againexcellent news for fans of these two games.
Wii U – Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 – Announcement regarding the end of the current maintenance operation
In March 2023, Nintendo paused network services for the Wii U Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 games to fix a vulnerability related to online play. The issue is now fixed, and we will restore online play for these games on the date listed below. Please accept our most sincere apologies for the long wait.
- August 3, 2023: resumption of service
- * To start playing online again, it is necessary to download a new update for each game from the date indicated above.
If new issues arise that make it difficult to support online play, we may have to discontinue online play service for Wii U Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 games on short notice. Should this happen, note that the offline game will continue to function normally.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
If you prefer slightly more modern gaming experiences, Splatoon 3 And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are on sale at Amazon for the Switch.
