Nintendo Wi-Fi Ending For DS And Wii

[Lakituthequick]

The Wii U browser is very good. It reminds me of Chrome for some reason.

Might be because it used the same engine (WebKit).



In other news, a few people have set up custom servers for MKWii already.

i enjoyed MKWII for a good 3 years before the stupid hackers ruined everything

hackers really aren't that much of a problem (in my experience)

Definitely not when they aren't spamming blue shells and golden mushrooms.

Those hackers suck.

BTW, if there is ever a way to make online Mario games have bots, please let me know.

The networking protocol is almost entirely mapped, pretty sure that they can get non-Wii devices on it when they are completed.

I never found a hacker during my time on MKWii online. I found penis-faced Miis instead.

Hackers be everywhere.

You can also recognize them by looking at the Mii's name. If it contains images like cups, yellow stars, balloons, coins, Nintendo DSi Pictochat smileys, etc., they are hackers, though not necessarily harmful.

I remember going into this one game where there was just unnatural lag everywhere. (What I later found out to be the Matrix code.)

I need to get a hold of Mario Kart Wii again, it has lots of my favourite courses, and nostalgia. I hope those private servers or whatever succeed, because it wouldn't be the same without online and I could get bored quick, and I don't think I'll be able to afford it until after the online closes.

The main reason Nintendo Wi-Fi is ending is because the servers are powered by GameSpy which is closing down.

I thought it was because they didn't want to waste money on something that's discontinued for new systems.

Well I got that info from here.
