  • This happened to me while I was in the middle of a race, but I was able to stay online for almost 3 hours after the wifi servers closed at 10am est. It happened just as I was getting the hang of things with the bit bike.

    The way this is composed is actually pretty sad. Nintendo are often known for having simple little tunes in the background of their menus, but it's the fact that there's just complete silence on the disconnect screen which adds to the emotion

      Actually, the reason the Wii and DS servers shut down is Completely different to the Wii U and 3DS.
      The Wii and DS only shut down because of gamespy matchmaking, so on a technical level, people could have been playing until the game spy servers shut down, but nobody was actually able to do that on a real Wii/DS

    I still can't believe it's truly gone. I remember when I ran home from school every day in order to get on my Wii as fast as possible, and get on an online race as fast as possible. I got pretty good, but when MK7 came out I mostly moved on to that. When I heard that they were shutting it down, for the last 2 hours of the service I played this game nonstop for the first time in around a year. I got this as well - I was leading on the final lap of a Maple Treeway race (I was Yoshi, because that's who I always was as a kid), when my screen faded to black like this. At first, I thought I had just gotten disconnected - it happened a lot when I was younger (our wifi wasn't the greatest). Then, when I selected the 1-player again, I got the message. I cried once more for a game that had made me cry, both for joy and sadness, for over 4 years of my childhood.
    Thank you, Mariokart Wii, for being such a big part of my childhood. I will never forget you.
