Nintendo\u2019s eShop closure has Smash players furious as DLC left \u201cinaccessible\u201d NintendoSmash fans are furious after the closure of the Nintendo eShop for the Wii U and 3DS consoles has made DLC bought for Super Smash Bros inaccessible for those who purchased it. On March 27 Nintendo officially closed eShop services for both the Wii U and 3DS and ended all support for online services for both consoles on April 8. The loss of online play heavily affects games like Pokemon and Super Smash Bros. And, according to the official statement, \u201cFor the foreseeable future, it is still possible to download update data and redownload purchased software and downloadable content from Nintendo eShop.\u201d But things aren\u2019t so simple for owners of Super Smash Bros on the Wii U & 3DS. The changes mean they\u2019ll lose access to the ability to re-download any DLC. The snafu is thanks to the game\u2019s requirement players connect to its online servers first, before re-downloading any DLC. With online services officially shut down, it means owners of Super Smash Bros for Wii U or 3DS could lose access to characters, stages, and music they\u2019ve already paid for. And according to some console owners, it isn\u2019t just Super Smash Bros that\u2019s been affected by the change either. \u201cGunvolt 2 and Smash have those paid DLCs completely inaccessible,\u201d said the OP of a thread on Reddit, highlighting the issue. While some fans in the replies were frustrated by the discovery, others were resigned to cynicism. \u201cThis is the end game for all digital-only services,\u201d read the thread\u2019s top comment. There\u2019s been no update from Nintendo about any alternative options for players to re-download any of the now inaccessible DLCs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
