[Mini rant thread warning]
So as you probably know by now that the Nintendo WFC servers are going to be switched off a month from now, so naturally I'd play some of the game's that are going to be affected a little more often as a last opportunity to play games such as Mario Kart Wii online.
Now I'm no stranger to online FTW hackers, but today something particularly special happened in Worldwide Battle. So one person who I didn't initally notice as a hacker was subtle using certain items more often than the game would usually allow, the giveaway was that he used a Blue Shell on himself despite being in first place and brought out a Star right before the impact. Anyway so at one point he was following me with a Mega Mushroom and threw out a Red Shell because he couldn't quite catch me, but I outran that too by having it crash against a wall. Then I get a Mega Mushroom myself straight after and manage to squash them, and then suddenly everyone shrinks and freezes on the spot, the timer stuck at 00:00:000 and the music still going (even transitioning in the to hurry up version). Seriously it's still going as I write this post. Now I don't need to go on to YouTube to listen to the fast version of Block Plaza on an endless loop.
So yeah, it looks as if hackers now instead of rage quitting normally they now have a server kill code so that everyone suffers no matter how hard you try. Or at least something about their presence causes the server to crash at random. On top of the fact that everyone loses about 100VR each.
Yeah this will probably end up on my list of threads I regret starting eventually but seriously, I'm cool with hacks of console games that enhance the experience such as CTs, skins and whatever, but this.
