Good news on that: all SMM1 levels have been backed up by the community. https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/comm...o_maker_1/
Yeah, the servers go down on the 8th for online connections and online play for 3DS and Wii U games. They shut down purchasing well before online. Fortunately everything important has been backed up as far as I know so it shouldn't be lost media, but a lot fewer people are going to mod their consoles to get them back online than will just play a console while its online works, so online play on these systems will go down substantially. Still, it's fantastic that hackers have saved all of this stuff from being deleted.
Quote: Oh right this! I had actually thought they already turned off the servers for these games, but oh right, they paced themselves and shut off the store first. It's a shame... especially since I can't even congratulate The Completionist for backing up this stuff now that it's public he's been scamming people with a fake charity for over a decade.
