NCL has announced the end of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for its Wii & DS consoles & games in Japan as of 11PM on May 20th, 2014.
This DOES NOT affect the Wii or DS shops. This isn't expected to affect PokeTransporter.
Other services unaffected are:
-DS(i) Browser
-Demae Channel (Wii)
-Hulu (Wii)
-Youtube (Wii)
-Internet Channel (Wii)
-Paid services

It seems to affect every game that used the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for its online, including Mario Kart Wii & DS, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, DS Pokemon titles, The Last Story, Animal Crossing Wide World & Metroid Prime Hunters.
End my service if old.
Nintendo Video for 3DS will also be ending in Japan on March 31st.
This also affects Wii Speak and Wii Speak Channel.
EDIT:
Australia too, same date: http://www.nintendo.com.au/index.php?pageID=6&action=news§ionID=1
Looks like this is a WW shut down.
