meanwhile, anyone is up for Brawl until the doomsday? I let my FC in a thread somewhere
Pokémon Black & White 2 have barely been out more than a year (16 months), and many of the other games (notably the Mario Kart series) are still being sold.Jarby wrote:
Kinda funny how entitled people are to expect a free service to be around seemingly forever. Pity that it's going, but it's hardly premature considering the consoles' successors have been out for several years already. I'm sure third party answers to online play will pop up in the near future anyway.
Dis. It's their right.Jarby wrote:

Isn't there a online service to play PSP games? Somenthing-kai... *browses bookmarks* XLink Kai is the service.Jarby wrote:

DS titles really don't have this kind of ability. That being said, it could be possible to emulate the online services via DNS rerouting to a third party service. As I recall, the Pokemon games have this sort of thing pretty much hammered out.EineKrone wrote:

But they could make another way no? I mean, release patch so these services at least could work over the WiFi. Except if they do intend to kill these services so people can buy more 3DSs...
Don't the Pokémon games only take advantage of GTS and Battle Videos, or am I missing something here?Azure_Kite wrote:

That is the online content that they generate and make use of, yes. But it still makes use of the Nintendo Wifi Connection service. Online Compatible DS games are hardcoded to go to a specific Web Address for communication. There is no changing Web Address that except through ROM hacking. The workaround for that was to use a DNS server that makes that Web Address point to a completely different IP Address. This can be used for the Pokemon games, but it could be extended if somebody had the time.Blazevoir wrote:

You really aren't missing much. A lot of MetaKnight/ Ike spammers.ChicagoTed7172 wrote:

Second hand shops already do this, albeit typically at a price point that isn't any more worthwhile than just selling the console normally.Trash Boat wrote:
if they really care about us, their customers, they should do something like this: bring your Wii to a specific store and you'll get a Wii U with a discount.
oh god no. its just that time passed too fastdeadbeat wrote:
lets look at it like this, did you really expect the online services for older products to be supported forever?
inb4 x-box 360 and/or PS3 lose online support by the end of the yearAzure_Kite wrote:
Other consoles have had their online functionality removed for shorter lifespan.

Well, if the age on your profile is anything to go by, the DS system first came out when you were 12 years old. I don't know about you, but 10 years is a pretty long time for an online service to be online for, specifically for one line of consoles.

If only we could somehow convince Nintendo to release their SSL key and direct their DNS to a fan server.mm201 wrote:

i only have 10 bucks. just 999,999,999,990 remaining to make it possiblemm201 wrote:

Doesn't pretty much every game's interface with Nintendo WiFi Connection differ depending on developer whims? I am assuming that considering the GTS in the pokemon titles connects to WFC, and there are numerous DNS bypasses for that, that there are differences in online security between titles. If Nintendo were using a global SSL key to do that, then we wouldn't have the GTShax, right?mm201 wrote:

The authentication (friend codes and the like) is shared between games. GTS hax will also stop working when NWFC goes dark.Azure_Kite wrote:

Well, to be fair, this a service for an obsoleted console that has been around for 10 years now.Sonatora wrote:

To put it in perspective,the Xbox Live service for the original Xbox was discontinued in 2010, having been alive and (sort of) kicking for 8 years. It's not as though these sorts of things can and should continue forever, you know.
It's kind of using the old wifi version, which, most of us already changed to the better one.skyllzhogo wrote:
