NINTENDO SOUNDS DEATH KNELL FOR WII ONLINE PLAY
Spoiler for Raead More:
If you still dust off your Wii occasionally for the odd online Smash Bros battle, or like to swim around with your pals in Endless Ocean 2, then get your gaming done sooner rather than later, as on May 20th, Nintendo is closing all online gaming functions on the Wii.
Funnily enough, with this being a Nintendo console, it's only affecting a handful of games, though they do include retail disc based titles and those found on WiiWare.
Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City
Battalion Wars 2
Boom Street
Dr. Mario & Germ Buster
Dr. Mario Demo
Endless Ocean
Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep
Excitebike World Challenge
LONPOS
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Sports Mix
Mario Strikers Charged Football
Pokémon Battle Revolution
Samurai Warriors 3
Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Skies
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Last Story
ThruSpace™ High Velocity 3D Puzzle
Trauma Center New Blood
WarioWare: Do It Yourself Showcase
Wii Chess
It also means the end of the Kirby, Mario Kart and Wii Speak channels, meaning that VOIP hardware you invested in is soon to be redundant.
The big hit though, is being taken by Nintendo DS and DSi owners, who are losing the online functionality for a lot of games, including all of the old Pokemon titles. That's everything from Heartgold and Diamond, right through to Black/White 2.
Other series losing out include every online enabled Professor Layton game, Animal Crossing: Wild World and the Mario vs Donkey Kong games.
Nintendo isn't killing the online usage of the Wii though, just the game servers. You'll still be able to use your Wii to watch Netflix, buy games, brwoser the internet or watch Youtube etc.
This seems a bit premature, considering companies like Microsoft have continued supporting older consoles for a couple of years after their end of life. Could this be Nintendo trying to force Wii customers onto its still poorly selling Wii U?
