Pretendo needs your help!!
Tumblr media
Pretendo Network has began an effort to archive SpotPass content before the 3DS and Wii U online services shut down April 8th
However they need us to help.
By dumping databases from your Wii U and 3DS systems, you can help preserve SpotPass content. Apparently you don’t even need custom firmware to dump 3DS data!? so please consider helping them out if you can!!
Here’s everything you should need to know
(I am not personally affiliated with Pretendo or the Spotpass Archival Project, I just want to help)

Rip to Nintendo's best online service.
We will never get what the WiiU and 3DS era ever did again.
An internet browser, Virtual Console, Miiverse, Streetpass, a digital shop that can load at a reasonable speed, and NO ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION
That amount of online connectivity from Nintendo will never come back.

i think if my strange incarnation of miitopia was an animated series it would be a goofy 80s anime about the power of friendship that also has a certain sense of grimness and solemnity at times that makes you wanna explode little bit when you think too hard about it

Todays rip: 28/08/2023
Turnabout Fishters
Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume GS Also on: I JUST WANNA DO CATCH SOME FISHS
Ripped by pixelsword
youtube
If you saw my previous post discussing an Ultimate Angler rip, Telling Fish Tales, you'll already be well informed in what make rips of this game stand out. This obscure, little-discussed 3DS download game was the favorite of a certain SiIvaGunner team member called Marrow, who tragically passed in 2019. In the four years since, Marrow's legacy has lived on, as Ultimate Angler continues to get a bevvy of new rips made each Season, and even a full-on album dedicated just to them in Season 7.
What I find so special about this ongoing support for Marrow and his cherished gem of a game, is ironically enough just how not-special it all feels. Rips of Ultimate Angler - such as Turnabout Fishters - aren't packaged with visual flair, or made with the express purpose of reflective sadness, or restricted to just making references to other things Marrow loved. Turnabout Fishters and all the other rips that surround it have such a beautifully simple mission statement - to remind you that Ultimate Angler exists, has a lovely soundscape, and is worthy of your time and love.
Turnabout Fishters is a simple rip executed perfectly - it takes the Turnabout Sisters theme from the Ace Attorney series and translates it beautifully into the mellow, acoustic style of the Ultimate Angler title screen. Its a beautiful theme, with beautiful instrumentation, and an immensely emotional core lying under it all with context in mind. Yet I adore that these rips work just as well as simple celebrations of Ultimate Angler's sound: I've seen a surprising number of commenters on these rips unsure of what the past context is regarding Marrow and Ultimate Angler in general. That context is easy to find online, certainly, but I love that Ultimate Angler - and Marrow, by extension - is able to put so many smiles on people's faces, solely through the SiIva team's shared love of the game, with context not even being needed.
Turnabout Fishters, even with all the baggage it holds, is able to make me smile. And I'm really thankful for that.

What Fire Emblem Fates Loses Without Online Functionality
As many know by now, Nintendo announced that they will be shutting down the online functionality for the Wii U and 3DS in April 2024. Among these affect will be the Fire Emblem games for the 3DS, all of which I love dearly.
So out of curiosity about what we are going to be losing, I decided to turn off my 3DS's internet and see how Awakening, Fates, and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia reacted. As it turns out, the My Castle feature in Fates was heavily designed with online in mind. Without online, out of battle prep is going to be harder for the average player, and worryingly so.
Tumblr media
The first thing is rather obvious: players will lose the ability to visit any other castles (outside of potentially via Streetpass, but I have no easy way to test that). This of course means no more buying player skills for your units (including the fun yet illegal ones like Aptitude) from quick castle battles. You will also lose the ability to recruit any other players' units or form Bond Units between those you visit and visit you frequently. While sad, I would say these features are mostly not needed for Fates' overall gameplay loop.
However, quick castle visits are also used to obtain other resources like ore and food, as players randomly start with different ones. Ore can be traded in at the Smithy for other ore types (at the steep price of 5 for 1). Since ore is needed to forge weapons, you will need to grind for the required amounts. As for food, you're going to have to hope that someone in your army finds some to give to you while wandering the castle. If you have at least one of any ore or food, you can use it at the Arena in an attempt to gain more of it.
Tumblr media
Very unlikely players will have 99 of each item in post-online files without the long grind (or hacking).
Players will also lose access to the other paths' shops and vendors from other castles. Unless you're playing Revelation, you will be forced to primarily stick to weapons of the country you've sided with at Chapter 6. This includes weapons like the Dual Kanata that flips the weapon triangle or the Armorslayer that is effective against armored units. Players with the Museum Melee DLC will be able to farm for out-of-path weapons, but it will be a luck-based grind.
Quick castle visits are a great source of Dragon Vein Points, or DVP, as well. DVP is used to build and upgrade facilities around My Castle. Outside of castle visits, you can still obtain DVP through chapter battles, skirmishes, invasions, DLC battles... This is actually a major blow to Conquest in particular because, unless the player has previously downloaded DLC before the shop went offline, they might have no infinite source of DVP! This also makes thing like support grinding difficult, especially if you want second generation units. Birthright and Revelation will still have the infinite skirmishes at the very least, but it will certainly take longer.
Unfortunately for Fates, losing access to online features might end up harming the game's Streetpass functions as well. I hope I am wrong about this, but it appears that you can only update your castle if you are connected to the internet. In other words, once the 3DS online is taken down, you might not be able to update your Streetpass castle, and any future new players might not be able to send out a Streetpass castle at all!
Losing online also comes at the cost of losing your Visitor Points (VP) and Battle Points (BP). Along with showing off how popular your castle is, VP and BP are used to unlock rewards. Many of these rewards are harder to obtained weapons and permanent stat boosters. Without being able to update your points, any future files you start will not be able to access and use these rewards.
Tumblr media
Visiting other castles has always be fun!
In short, while none of the online features are absolutely necessary to complete any path in Fates, it does hamper one's abilities to obtain many valuable resources. Forging will be much harder, building up My Castle will take much longer, and it will be trickier to build supports. Conquest players in particular will have to care much more about resource management in general (unless they have DLC).
But what about Awakening and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia? Do they lose anything?
I checked these two as well, and fortunately for them, losing online is basically a non-issue! (Unless you want the DLC, in which case you are already out of luck.)
Unlike Fates, both Awakening and SoV can continue to update their Streetpass (even though it's just a player card for the latter). In fact, as far as I can tell, all SoV really loses is the ability to see how the player ranks in the Global Rankings, which is inconsequential for the gameplay.
Tumblr media
Priam, a character exclusive to Awakening's Spotpass chapters.
I've seen some people bring up the possibility of losing Spotpass in Awakening, which contains bonus content like extra paralogue chapters, bonus units, and unique, harder to obtain weapons. As it turns out, as long as you have previously downloaded Spotpass at least once before, all content related to it will continue to be available for all current and future playthroughs! So only future new players will be losing out on it once the online functionality is gone.
Will Fates still be playable overall?
Oh, absolutely! Just because players will lose many of the wonderful features My Castle has to offer doesn't mean it's all gone. You should still get enough weapons and resources to reach the end of the game regardless of the path chosen. I suspect several players have already done so, either for not caring about My Castle or just not having their 3DS connected to the internet in the first place.
My hope is that Intelligent Systems will put out an update to alleviate the loss of online functionality. Perhaps it could be a resource pack, containing 10 of each ore and food and some weapons. Sadly, I believe this to be very unlikely, especially this late in the 3DS's life...
While more a replacement, a port or remake of Fates would be nice as well! It could contain the three paths (à la Three Houses) along with all of the DLC (including the two festival maps that never left Japan). I for one would absolutely be down for it, as Fates is unironically one of my favorite games.
Tumblr media
Azura from Fates, and one of my all-time favorite characters!
In the end, this is all merely speculation on my part. We won't know for certain how much will truly be lost until the day Nintendo shuts down the 3DS and Wii U online services for good.
TLDR; Fates will likely lose easy access to obtaining resources and weapons once the Nintendo shuts down the online service for 3DS and Wii U, primarily related to My Castle. Overall this will make items much harder to obtain or, in a few cases, outright unobtainable. The game will still be completely playable however, just a bit harder.
