So sad that some manufacturers offer so little support once their new console has been released.

Further proof that people don't read the OP

OT: kinda sad, but not a big deal overall. The only game I kept playing online was Monster Hunter Tri, and that ended when Ultimate came out. Although tbh, I think only Mario Kart Wii and MK DS will be affected, what other Wii and DS games have a big online fanbase? Smash is the only one that comes to mind, but the online sucks on that one so not many people will miss it.

Oh maaaan, how people easily become nostalgic.. Now everybody suddenly remembers that they still sometimes, once in a while, if there´s time play this or that game.

Buy a WiiU, move on and stop living in the past!!! XD

10 days before mk8 gets released? Maybe that was a good move so people would finally upgrade to a wii u.

If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

Might be off a bit, but it's still damn impressive they lasted this long. It seems like only yesterday you people wanted to castrate Nintendo for using Friend Codes on the DS and Wii. But I guess it's like when Micheal Jackson died; once lost, most of the cynacism vanishes.
