So I won't be able to play Mario Kart Wii and Brawl online even on my WiiU? Or Mario Kart 7 on my 3DS?
Fuck, that means I'll probably never finish getting to all of the Picross 3D downloadable puzzles (there's way more than you can fit on the cart at one time) . I've been slowly working through them for a while now after finally finishing all of the downloadable puzzles for Picross DS (which has waaaay less cart space).
I'm confused. Does a game like MK Wii not use a p2p hosting? [or whatever it's called]
Every game ever is going to have servers go down.
These ones have lasted longer than most.
whoa.
Feels a little soon doesn't it?
Wait, does this affect the Pokemon bank thing?

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.This does not affect the Wii Shop Channel so I would assume you can still perform a Wii to Wii U transfer.
This is absurd. What is their reasoning?
Never will happen, but with MS and nintendo could come together to build a live like service for nintendo products. Good revenue for MS and gives nintendo an actual decent online took to work with.
The store is messy, no leaderboards, friends are terrible, no Mics, long load times, etc
One can dream
Uh
So should I actually use Poke Bank sometime soon then?
That is the aspect of online that sucks. Skyrim will be playable in 1000 years, WoW won't.
OH NO, I forgot about this. Someone needs to compile a list of all the games you can download extras from.
Picross, Picross 3d, I know the first professor layton did.

Nintendo isn't taking down the stores.I'm talking about taking down the store more than anything.
If sony took down the ps3 store next week there would be a riot at sony hq.

You can generate Pokemon in Black and White by connecting to a custom DNS server, so it's probably doable.How long until hackers set up alternatives?
The USA won't exist in 1000 years.
That's because people pay for those services. Whether it is better or not on those systems (it is), or whether it's better and free on PC (it is) is one thing, but the consumer base for online services of Nintendo has been conditioned to expect free services without all the bells and whistles. Of course they/we would like more but that's a slow path of progress.
Personally, I wasn't a huge user of their wifi services but it was nice to be able to drop in anytime and get smashed in mario kart.
As long as the shops remain open, that's fine.
Actually, I still need to download Layton and Picross puzzles (never came around to it since the DS doesn't like WPA2). Will that stuff still be available?
These devices have been dead for quite a while now and it has no affect on Pokemon Bank.
No effect. Pokemon bank uses Nintendo Network.
Though if you have pokemon to trade in D/P/Pt, HG/SS or B/B2/W/W2, you should probably get on that.
Sweet, no rush then.The transfer mechanisms for Generations 4-5 and 5-6 don't require the Wi-fi connection.
I wonder how many people use a Wii for Netflix still? If so, they're shit out of luck.
I'd hope no one would use a Wii for Netflix, I really do.
You better be ready to eat crow if you're wrong.
Hell, doing it for POKEMON is cause enough for outrage I feel. What the hell, it's crazy that's all going down when it's not even like the Wii and DS are long dead platforms. Pokemon White and Black 2 are just over a year old, and will be about one and a half years by the time this happens. That's like an EA Sports title shutdown, worse maybe.If sony and Microsoft did this for ps3 and 360 people would be outraged.

i assumed it was under the paid services banner. if not, i wonder why hulu is allowed.
i know a person who still uses it on wii, but just the one.
That's why they don't manufacture and sell the games anymore.WTF!? I hate when companies do this, it's false advertising when you buy a game and the online doesn't work.
If I transfer from D/P to B/W2 locally using my DS and 3DS and then from B/W to X/Y using the Bank/Transporter that should be fine right?
Oh man Dragon Quest X...
I guess those servers are gonna be dropped in favor of the Wii U, PC, and Android.
Nintendo isn't taking down the stores.
Online trades, yeah. Anyway, it's plagued with hacked pokemons.So no more gen IV and V Pokemon trades?

Just remembered that I did play online on my DS once, over a public hotspot. Tetris DS against some Japanese guy. Pretty intense match.
I am legit shocked they are shutting down MK Wii.
