They removed the servers for all those Wii games to be prepared for that single WiiU game so it will work out :)

 

Nope. The WiFi-Connection shutdown was more of a "decission aid".

Those servers are far from being able to handle any MK8 load as the number of voice streams will "explode". 

Also the Wii-Shop servers are still online as you can still download your purchases or transfer a Wii's content to a new Wii U. THAT might be really a weak spot when the Wii U MK8 bundles sells like crazy and people won't test Mario Kart as the first thing ...
