Shutting down of Nintendo Servers

[Shadeh]

As you all have heard, Nintendo will be relieving Online Play for The Wii, Ds, and DSi. The day this will happen is to be set on May, 20 of this year. That means no more online pokemon battles for SS/HG, B/W/B2/W2 for the Ds/Dsi. Along with the beloved Super Smash Brothers: Brawl for the wii. What is your say on this? Is it the Wii U's fault? Will this just lead to a bigger problem for Nintendo as a whole?

No, because the services are 9 years old and frankly they are outdated. I much prefer the fact that the 3DS accepts routers with better encryption standards than freaking WEP.

I think the only kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing about it is that it might affect my parents being able to use certain things on their wii but eh.

Exactly. Looks like I will be using Netflix on my 360 then. Parent's won't be too happy though. We won a wii for free, and now it will be useless x.x

Not really. Almost all of our play on it was offline.

Actually Super Smash Bros. was pretty dang fun online, and LONG before I got my xbox I always played cod on it CX

SSBB wasn't the only game on the Wii you know...

I agree with this decision. Its quite annoying that on Brawl you couldn't connect with random people to fight.:/ Plus well for me the only game I still play on my wii is Harvest Moon which doesn't require online^^

I'm sorry. This thread doesn't involve video game discussion unless there is some form of societal controversy.
