Glad I picked up a Steam Deck: Online play shutdown = never
- Moders will make servers like they did for Wii.
- That's not really true. Every game will be offline at some point if the publisher don't want to pay for server anymore.
  
  If that game relies on a corpo server, maybe, but even most of those games can likely be modded to work with local host or a "pirate" host.
- Do the Wii and Wii U emulators on steam deck have online capability?

  You can't play on official servers though
  
  I wanna say yes but I haven't even scratched the surface of emulating yet so I'm not sure: Still have an absolutely massive backlog of Steam games to play through. That said, I heard Emudeck is fucking fantastic!
Guessing that they announce the Switch successor before that date to mask the bad news.
- I am assuming afterwards if I'm going by eShop closure and TotK trailer 3
  
  I feel confident about a September release ngl
Do you mean that I can't play Splatoon online after 76 days ? On Wii u?
I have hope in Pretendo

Yet another company hurting massively for their bad bets in physical office space.
