April 8 was a tragic day for Nintendo fans across the world, as it marked the day that the 3DS and Wii U online servers were shut down for good. No longer were players able to boot up Splatoon 1 for a Turf War match online, or Pokemon X and Y for trades with people around the world, as we were all forced to say goodbye to those modes for good. Or at least, we were supposed to.
Nintendo fans haven't gone out without a fight. In the weeks and months following that fateful day, we've seen many players hang on for as long as possible in an attempt to keep those online modes alive. We saw valiant efforts from the likes of the last Splatoon player, Lcd101, who managed to stay standing for an additional 68 days, as well as Super Mario Maker player SlitherySheep, who finally disconnected in the middle of July. However, one known player is somehow still clinging on, and he tells me that in theory, "this could go on forever."
