Nintendo to End DS and Wii Online Multiplayer this May

Nintendo has announced that it will be ending DS and Wii online multiplayer in May.

Specifically, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will close down May 20th. Offline features, however, will still work.

In addition, the following Wii apps will remain intact:

• Hulu
• YouTube
• Built-in browser
• Online store

Late last year, Nintendo halted Wii production and the Wii was discontinued in Europe.

What are your thoughts about the discontinuation of the Wii’s online multiplayer service? Let us know below.
