The fight to stay online on 3DS and Wii U continues well over a﷽ month after the servers were supposed to shut down, but we're now down to the final four - all because one player's 3DS just crashed.

Just ahead of the planned Nintendo Network shutdown on April 8, two players called Fishguy6564 and Marioiscool246 set up a pair of bots in Mario Kart 7 to continually race against each other online. Those bots have been racing over and over again since that day. With the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询🀅:loss of the last Pokemon XY playe꧒r on May 8, that left Fishguy6564 and Mar�🅷�ioiscool246 as the only known 3DS players left online.

the Luigi's Mansion track. A total of 13,151 races were run, with 6495 won by Fishguy6564's bot and 6656 won by Marioiscool246's, according to the latter player's . I guess we now know how many races it takes to break Mario Kart 7. 

Fishguy6564 remains online, though now simply connected to an empty lobby. According to GaffsNotLaffs on , that leaves us with just four players on the Nintendo Network, counting the three other souls who are sitting on lonely Mario Maker, Splatoon, and Xenoblade Chronicles X connections. They've been dropping like flies in recent weeks though. As of May 5, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:eight final players remained, but that number's ⛄now already been halved. Godspeed to those who remain.

These are the 25 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Wii U games. (Yes, we managed to find 25!)
