On April 23, 2023, Nintendo officially shut down online services for the Wii U and 3DS consoles. However, one determined ‘Splatoon’ player, known as Lcd101, has managed to stay online despite the shutdown. For 15 days, Lcd101 remained connected to the Nintendo Network, exploring deserted lobbies and witnessing the continued operation of in-game news updates. While Lcd101’s lone online presence may seem like a curious anomaly, it highlights the efforts of dedicated fans to preserve and keep alive beloved games even after official support has been discontinued.
