One Lone Nintendo Fan Has Been Keeping the 3DS Servers Alive for Months (kotaku.com)

I don't really understand, they claim to have shut down the servers but his switch is still online. If I pull out my 3DS and try to play, would I be able to connect? Or is his switch just bugged out.


I can't help but think of the premise of "Overlord"

where the protagonist is the last player logged into an online game when it shuts down and he finds himself struck in a fantasy world as an overpowered lich lord.

Or rather, Nintendo doesn't feel it can shut the server down when somebody is connected. You should give it a try.
