As you may already know, Nintendo is shutting down Nintendo Network services for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U on April 8th, 2024. This means that online play servers and SpotPass content (e.g. in StreetPass Mii Plaza, Super Mario Maker, and the Pokémon games) will be rendered inaccessible after this date.
The revival service [Pretendo](https://pretendo.network/) is aiming to provide these services after Nintendo shuts down the official one. However, their efforts require the collection of data from Nintendo Network servers in order to understand how they work, which can only be accomplished before the network shutdown.
If you would like to assist with this effort, you can contribute dumps of network data while the official servers are still online.
- For information about preserving **SpotPass data** (data routed through Nintendo's SpotPass feature), see [the SpotPass Archive project](https://spotpassarchive.github.io/). This project is not affiliated with Pretendo, but provides a more user-friendly instruction and submission format. **SpotPass dumps do not contain any sensitive information.**
- For information about preserving **game and HTTP packets** (data used by games for servers and other features), see [Pretendo's Network Dumps page](https://pretendo.network/docs/network-dumps). **Please note that this data may contain sensitive information, and that retrieving this data is more technically challenging.**
