If you have Brawl you might be able to run one of the save copying homebrew apps via smash stack (i.e. no homebrew channel installed).
I'm afraid I don't know. Other than Nintendo games the only ones I've touched the on-line on today have been Activision published. Should have narrowed my initial third-party statement to Activision!

Conduit 2 online multiplayer is still working as well. It's a Sega published fps for the Wii.
TvC is still going:

wait thought it would end at 12 am on the 21, like the 20th would be the last day
RIP I had fun with it

11 p.m. Japan time which was over 8 hours ago! 1st party stuff seems ta be axed while 3rd party games are still rolling on at the moment!
Interestingly, the MKDS servers are still running. I have been playing with a Japanese player for 4 hours straight without any problems (and still going !). I actually managed to get in contact with him, and we'll probably exchange our FCs to play MK7 later on after the servers finally decide to kick us out.
This is one of my best online experiences ever !

Checked all the CODs and they all work (quite populated too)
Will check Goldeneye tomorrow morning before work. I hope 3rd party servers keep running as I'd love to get back into Goldeneye. Still got it.

So since Layton was published here by Nintendo it's axed right?

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yes, but the extra puzzles are actually already on the cart and can be unlocked with Action Replay.....
I think I may need to grab one of those for everything that isn't a legit download. There just isn't any point in keeping content locked away just because I didn't get online in time.

Where can I buy such a thing? :-O
Oh... This needs hack things...
Some DS games doesn't need patching thing, but so many nintendo's game needs patchs.
So, I won't use this.
Didn't some of the Wii COD games use a completely custom online system that had actual friends list and no friend codes?
COD Wii is using their own online system. So they might avoided this situation.
Well, guess publishers muscling their own solutions in isn't ALWAYS bad.
I actually wonder if the same could've applied to MH3 had it not shut down far in advance anyway rendering it a moot point.

They should keep MW3 going for Wii, it was released only 3 years ago and whats a call of duty without its multiplayer
Sounds like it IS running actually, or some CoDs are.
And CoD1(?), 2, and especially 4 are just fine for SP alone. The others... that's a different story. Though I enjoyed rolling through MW2, 3, and BO well enough anyway.
One of the best fighting games of all time. If my mates online today I'll try and see if we can play.
I would do this right now but the wireless adapter I have has issues with softAP capture. This whole situation about the lack of captured data really sucks. It's too late now.

I'm pretty sure third party games are going to be fine at least until May 31.

Cod and Goldeneye might be fine. The article also mentions Capcom was trying to find a solution, so TvC might be fine.
May 31 is when Gamespy shuts down their servers, so we'll see what happens after that date.

Brawl isn't going anywhere
Apparently you can now only play with friends, though - that's okay, I always play only with friends.I used this method:
https://github.com/polaris-/dwc_network_server_emulator/wiki
I didn't put my friend code in the new server database in time so now if I want to play on these new servers I'll have to delete all of my old profiles. I really don't want to do that in games like Brawl so I guess I'm screwed unless they come up with a way to let people keep their old profiles.
I did register in time, and I still had to delete my save file for it to work :/ Sucks, but I unlocked everything with a single Ocarina code, so it really doesn't matter IMO.
But I don't want to lose all of my stats and stuff.
I wonder if using a mod like Project M would allow me to go online without having to erase my profile.
Nope, since you still use the same FC. The idea is your Wii having to create a new FC. And yeah, losing the stats sucks... I managed to buy my copy one week before worldwide release and now I can't prove it
But, eh, it's worth it if I can still play online. And I can! PotionBleue

Playing MKWii on the private server (Wiimm) works very well. You can even see a list of who's online at the moment and who is in each room, updated live:

Wiimm does what Nintendon't.
I'm not understanding something... if I used this, then I can't play with people using Wiimm, right? :x Oh lard, I dun goofed... On Wiimm, can you play against random people? Because I can't seem to find anyone like that.
If you want to use wiimmfi and have HBC installed just use the HBC app Automatic Wiimmfi patcher, it will patch your game disk on the fly.
And if you want to continue using your old nintendowifi profiles/FCs, use the HBC app Wiipid extractor (only supports working games) and wait about a day so it's migrated to the wiimmfi server.

So I don't have to delete my profiles anymore? Sweet!
