It has been officially announced recently that Nintendo is pulling the plug on yet another feature on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U consoles on October 25th of this year, the Image Share service for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. After the aforementioned date, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U owners will no longer be able to share images and game screenshots on social media directly from their Nintendo 3DS and/or Wii U consoles via their respective Image Share services. This announcement follows Nintendo's announcement to disable the ability to log into or link a Nintendo Account with Twitter and Facebook.

And the fans come through again! Nintendo should just sell all of their assets to the people!

At this point they just need to shut everything down instead of playfully closing things one at a time, kind of sad really.

Or keep everything open instead of their continued sins of "Planned obsolescence" and their crimes of invoking Cease and DECEASE on financially harmless FAN PROJECTS! It's not worth my time to wait for them to learn their lesson, so if I had mind control abilities, I would force everyone at Nintendon't to release EVERYTHING into the public domain, and ALL OF THEIR SOURCE CODES!

Well anything they keep going requires server/bandwidth which does costs lots of $$$$

True, but still! Release the source code to the public or something Nintendo! Don't make me start mind control! :P
