Editing Nintendo Network

The '''{{wp|Nintendo Network}}''' was an online gameplay network for [[Nintendo]] consoles that acted similarly to {{wp|Sony}}'s {{wp|PlayStation Network}} and {{wp|Microsoft}}'s {{wp|Xbox network}}, providing online play for compatible games on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Wii U]]. The first public appearance of the Nintendo Network was on January 20, 2012, when an image of the box art for ''{{wp|Theatrhythm Final Fantasy}}'' was shown with a Nintendo Network icon, but it is preceded by the service being called by name in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> Japanese and European versions. The service was officially announced on January 26, 2012, and became available later that year. 

The Nintendo Network was the second online network created by Nintendo, after the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] (which launched during the release of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''). Unlike its predecessor, which focused on specific functionalities within games and a largely de-centralized environment, Nintendo Network aimed to establish a central platform where consumer services, such as user accounts and [[Miiverse]], were connected. While Nintendo Network offered similar features to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, including online gaming through games that require Nintendo Network and digital purchases and [[:Category:Downloadable content|downloadable content]] through [[Nintendo eShop]], it was also used for additional features such as {{wp|Game patch|updates}}, sending gameplay data statistics, and user account control.

Nintendo dropped long-term plans for the Nintendo Network after establishing their partnership with {{wp|DeNA}}, which helped them develop the single sign-on {{wp|Nintendo Account}} system, [[My Nintendo]], and other online services that function beyond Nintendo's own hardware. On October 4, 2023, Nintendo announced that the service would be terminated in early April 2024, discontinuing online play and other functionalities that use online communication for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software.<ref name=Shutdown>{{cite|author=[[Nintendo|Nintendo of America <nowiki>[@NintendoAmerica]</nowiki>]]|date=October 4, 2023|title=As of early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end service for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software.
