The SpotPass Archival Project

As you may know, Nintendo announced that 3DS and Wii U online services will be discontinued in April of this year. This includes SpotPass services. Many 3DS titles like Mario Kart 7, StreetPass Mii Plaza, the Pokemon games, and others used it to distribute content to users.

The problem

With the closure of the 3DS and Wii U online services, SpotPass features will stop working in many 3DS and Wii U titles.

The solution

The SpotPass Archival Project has been started to collect users' SpotPass caches, which contain data from recent SpotPass events in games you've played. This allows various network revival services to archive the SpotPass data ahead of the servers' closure, allowing SpotPass features to be replicated later and re-enabling functionality in countless games after the closure of the official servers.

Sounds great, how can I help?
