>>19201612To be fair, it's not exactly Nintendo's fault.
Gamespy created the netcode for the Wi-Fi Connection and ran the servers. Gamespy got bought out by GluMobile in 2012 and they have since been shutting things down. They're closing everything at the end of the month, so Nintendo is taking the WFC down on the 20th.
Due to Gamespy owning the netcode, Nintendo can't shift them to new servers, so they were well and truly fucked.
