Gah, this'll be bad for Mario Kart Wii online.. Especially the modded online communities etc.

Mario Kart8 though. Most will probably move on, see no reason not too.

Well, I don't think MK8 will be as hackable as MK Wii, so there's your reason.

Well if we're talking strictly aboit online play, then Brawl players only have every reason to upgrade. :L

Suddenly the Wii mini looks 33% less shitty

I never thought it was shitty, because the end of the Wi-Fi connection is pretty expected.

EDIT: A question, when will they end support for the Wii shop channel and the DSi shop channel?

I played the Wii and DS before, actually a lot but never owned one.

3DS is what made me start loving Nintendo. Great games. Then I bought the WiiU and blah blah blah. lol

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

How long does a company need to keep an archaic online functionality for machines that are 9.5 (DS) and 7.5 (Wii) years old? The 3ds has been out since March 2011 and the Wii U since Nov 2012. It's now 2014. I'd say that's pretty decent legacy support. The only two games I can foresee being of any concern are MKWii and Brawl, but MK8 hits in May with Smash a little after. So what's the big deal, really?

I'm sure it will "gently" push people towards picking up a Wii U and or MK8. Tough time hitting 4m units my ass.

No more Dragon Quest IX online? That damn game was built around multiplayer. First GT5, now this.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Nintendo are the devil, how could they do this to their dying consoles?!

Anywho, this was evident. People who still want to play Mario Kart either already had Mario Kart 7 or are planning on getting it or Mario Kart 8. It's the never ending evolution in online these days.
