Important notice for Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon

[Spectremint]

Nintendo announced earlier this morning that the online servers for Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 have been temporarily disabled, most likely due to ENLBufferPwn, an exploit capable of remote execution and hacking of a Nintendo console by doing as little as connecting to the game servers. No word on when they'll be re-enabled. They updated various Switch and 3DS (!!) games to fix this already, but I'm guessing it might be a harder fix on Wii U.

I’ve been meaning to get back into playing Splatoon. I’ve not played in years but it’s been on my mind the past few days. Talk about bad timing.
