“In early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software,” Nintendo said on its Support website.

“This also includes online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution.”

“if an event occurs that would make it difficult to continue online services for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software, we may have to discontinue services earlier than planned.”

As for Pokémon Bank

Pokémon Bank will still retain its online functionality (presumably since it’s still used by players and uses online connectivity as its central mechanic).

Follow the above guide exactly -- then download:

This will cover 100% of your bases. You'll be able to play anything and have a great experience. New 2DS XL highly recommended.

I can confirm everything you posted, works like a charm and the 3ds is still a really nice gaming platform with a deep game library

HShop is a revelation.
