Nintendo has announced its plans to shut down WiFi services for its older Nintendo DS and Wii consoles. Games that utilize the service for online multiplayer will no longer be able to access those functions. The Internet browser for both platforms will be unaffected, as will the Wii Shop, DSi Shop, and Hulu Wii app. The service will be disconnected on May 20.
Pokémon Games affected:
- Diamond, Pearl & Platinum
- HeartGold & SoulSilver
- White, Black, White 2 & Black 2
- Mystery Dungeon games
- Pokémon Battle Revolution
Other popular games such as Animal Crossing: Wild World and Mario Kart DS will all be affected so make sure to do everything you want to before the shutdown deadline!
Anyone mourning the loss of multiplayer on the DS or Wii?

How long will wifi be disconnected? Because I hope it’s not forever.
Anything to get me to buy my kids a $300 Wii U. Such a joke, Nintendo. My daughter is heartbroken. We still play our original, first ever made, NES and the 64. Why you take away a service that has been associated with these games for years is horrible. We will not be getting a U, thank you…
Nintendo u ruined my gaming life screw u
Ducking hate u nintendo
Even though I liked being on wifi I just wanted to mess around and not compete because that makes me so very happy. Now I miss wifi already.
you can hack your wii to still play online!!!!!!!!!! http://forum.wii-homebrew.com/board42-kreativitaet/mkw-server-project-english/51254-wiimmfi-server/?s=0283a78bfcd75248bbd43a69adb6d41b70e6919e

NINTENDO SUCKKKKKSSSSSSSSSS NEVER IN MY LIFE WILL I BUY A NINTENDO DEVICE AGAIN
Seriously why do all gaming companies take away everything good about the gaming experience… I haven’t played pokemon in forever, decided to play today and get my charizard from my other pokemon game on a different device went to the GTS and got a hell of a surprise!
Well… i dont know what vto say, i would say its unfair due to people who buy the old game but it is fair because sometimes people bearly play it and thefore they would be paying for servers with no use.
I really just wanted to find comfort in this loss in a discussion, all I wanted was to evolve Pokemon on my soul silver game ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-; someone hold me while I cry and fall into a deep depression
It makes me sad that these posts were two years ago
