Nintendo killing many games related Online Services for Wii & DS

[mr. fancypants]

so the youtube app from the 3ds is going to be removed or idt the wii app goeing to be removed?

Really? So many games that I'm sure people still play on that list, especially Mario Kart, Brawl, and Pokemon

Mario Kart, yes.

Brawl? Nope. You can find a player every 15 minutes if you are lucky.

And lets not forget the huge amounts of lag and latency that SSBB online mode suffers from, so really there is no need for the servers.

Mario Kart is still rocking and Nintendo wants us to buy a Wii U, so I say "Fuck you, Nintendo!!!"

RIP Nintendo DS (and to an extent Flashcards). You brought me and many others hours upon hours of quality play time.

The only shame I can really see here is that, with DQ IX, you don't get access to the DLC shop where you can download all of the extra quests until you do quite a bit of the beginning of the game stuff and start out. The loss of the DLC shop will be disappointing too, as you could find some useful stuff in there, sometimes pretty early on if you had the gold saved up.

For me personally, Picross 3D is periodically fun to go back to, and the loss of the mountain of player made and developer released DLC puzzles will really just suck, since I lost my save file awhile back and no longer have access to an ancient WEP connection.

Not much. You can download a few extra puzzles online but you don't need the online stuff to finish the game or unlock all the stuff.

For at least some games in the series there are cheats to unlock the downloadable puzzles, so that's something at least.

I corrected myself as you can see above

And the weekly puzzles can only live as long as the online service its attached to, nothing lasts forever.
