    Default Nintendo is removing wifi from ds and wii

    http://kotaku.com/nintendo-killing-o...-ds-1532216462

    all i have to say is...... defintly wont buy ds games then lol. At least we can access the nintendo store for now, and i dont think netflix would be effected but cant say for sure. But pokemon is going down (that includes the new black2/white2 to diamond/pearl) and that is a blow. Mario kart is on the list as well as dragon quest games. Basicly, online support for games is going down however the browser sold on the oringinal ds will still work.

    Great. Just great.
    No Brawl for me then.
    It affects only the online gaming, right?
    I wonder will the LetterBomb still work after May,20...

    Theoretically, this should work anyway, due to the exploit being downloaded from a different server. It does look like that only the Nintendo Servers will be shut down, so I'm assuming Homebrew Browser will work as well. However, I'm not sure if the System Update or the whole official IOS patching will work. Let's see in May!

    Hrm, I have some Wii's laying around that I need to softmod. I guess I should get on that sooner rather than later then
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    I'm worried anyway. Will softmod my Wii as soon as I'll get the AC adapter.

    #2 Thats if/when? A new nintendo system comes out and they kill the online for 3DS and WiiU as well since they are pulling the same shit now.

    Heh, I'm still on 4.2 and only updated the IOSes. I've done my softmod since the Twilight Princess patch. I'm afraid that by updating to 4.3, I might brick the Wii.

    I looked it up and I guess it's just for online play and leader boards..but it's still asinine.

    Definitely won't buy DS games? You're acting like the DS was mostly filled with games that had online support.

    I haven't tried any Wifi functions for Wii/DS games (aside from playing Brawl online, yuck) so I suppose it doesn't affect me as much as other people. I mostly play Single-Player games. To those that are pissed, my condolences.

    Anybody planning on playing DQ9 should probably start up a game and grab the DLC quests while they can. They're sorta post-game content, but they're free, and you might get annoyed if you know what you're missing after beating the game. IIRC you need to plug several hours into the game to get Sellma into Questers Rest to obtain them. Kinda a shame to cut the online bonuses, it was cool getting all the other random stuff every week. I don't think I even saw all the weekly guests

    That is probably one of the titles people would be most pissed about, well that and Pokemon..............mostly pokemon...........not me of course

    I'm mainly Pissed about DQ9 and the YGO Games, those were fun to play online.

    I've only played Tetris DS and Metroid Prime Hunters online really, so it doesn't affect me much on the DS end. Just the Wii with updating the system files and what-not. But it sucks for anyone who plays Pokemon as well as DQes and games using online content.
