Keep in mind that you can still play the affected games in offline mode. This includes local multiplayer modes, which continue to offer rich game-play experiences. Additionally, access to the Wii Shop Channel, the Nintendo DSi Shop and video-on-demand services, are also not affected at this time.perience
We at Nintendo want to continue providing a positive experience for our customers, and it was felt in the best interest of our consumer and the oonline experience that they have, that we begin transitioning all of the online functionality over to our newer consoles. I hope you continue to enjoy play local multiplayer with your family, and continue enjoying your Nintendo products.
