[QUOTE="Videomanman87, post: 5001018, member: 285031"] Technically it isn't Nintendo but GameSpy. They are going out of business. Nintendo hired them and used their servers. It is not just Nintendo but a lot of console games are having a shutdown. I think there was 40 or 50 games from EA that are also having this issue. While Nintendo COULD move the Wii over to their network that the WiiU is using, it would be a lot of work and involve updating the Wii. Not to mention perhaps the games too. And if they couldn't come up with a way outside of updating all the games, well that is not going to happen. I think that is likely why it happened. They would only loose money unless they charged us for access to the new servers, and I am not sure if it would be "worth it to them" even then. I think I have got some data for Endless Ocean and Endless Ocean 2. But I don't have any one to link up with currently to capture the rest. Hopefully the gate connection and generating a code, adding friends, removing friends is enough. Whew did a lot of capturing today, wouldn't be bad if my new router wasn't giving me fits, I finally managed to tame the beast though. Edit: Interesting I looked up Gamespy on [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameSpy']Wikipedia[/URL] and: "In April 2014, Glu announced that it would shut down the legacy GameSpy servers on May 31, 2014, (server termination was extended until the end of June)so its developers could focus on work for Glu's own services" I wonder if that applies to Nintendo or not. I have a hunch NO lol. I wonder when the extension was announced, last I looked at that article it was still May 20th not May 31st let alone end of june. [/QUOTE]

I just played little of "Still Wakes The Deep" , just came to gamepass today, its alright, kinda creepy. I'm not usually a horror game fan, but it looks really good graphic wise, esp w 4k. I admit it made me jump a few times.
