[fantanoice]

The Nintendo WiFi service for DS and Wii will be terminating on May 20th, 2014. That means that after this date you will no longer be able to play the online services for these devices, including games like Mario Kart DS/Wii and Super Smash Bros Brawl.

Only thing that bums me out is no more online Smash Bros Brawl.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Pokémon Black Version
Pokémon Black Version 2

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
...back to Kid Icarus: Uprising and Mario Kart 7 online I guess...

Brawl online never worked anyway

Bah, there's probably some people somewhere that have their own custom servers.

At least that is happening for MKWii, so I'm not worried.

I knew there were a couple around for Xbox (original) games but never heard of any for MKW / Brawl.

Neither have I, but some people over at some Custom Mario Kart Wiki have their analytics on the networking protocol. It's happening.

You just won't be able to trade and battle online. The game will still work.

Anyway, Internet never worked on my Wii or DS to begin with. It works for my Wii U and 3DS though, so there's that.
