These services will be discontinued:
* Online play for all software
* Nintendo Badge Arcade
* SpotPass
These services will continue working past the shutdown date:
* Nintendo eShop (for downloading game updates and past purchases)
* Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter - however it is recommended to transfer to Pokemon HOME as soon as possible as it is hinted at that it won't be up for very long.<ref name=":0" />
