Nintendo Network is more secure than Nintendo WFC. I think it's nearly impossible to emulate Nintendo Network. Also, there is no reason why Nintendo would shutdown Nintendo Network.

The OP didn't ask about Nintendo Network, that's an entirely different thing but I guess the answer really lies in the fact that when they do finally close the servers, someone will have to announce that they will host a similar unofficial service.

Unfortunately my crystal ball won't work to show the answer so until we see an announcement from someone then the answer is no.

I'd like to think someone would if they could but Wiimfii requires a patched cIOS for the redirection of data to the custom servers and I don't think we have that access on Wii u yet.

Nice! Well there you go, thats an announcement at least! A vague one but an attempt at doing it none the less!

I hope they manage to get it fully implemented.

    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
