Originally, Nintendo did not have any plans to cease the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for either the Wii or the DS, though is connected to [[wikipedia:Glu Mobile|Glu Mobile]] buying out IGN's [[wikipedia:GameSpy|GameSpy]] in August 2012, along with GameSpy shutting down its service platform on May 31, 2014. This may have been because of the overwhelming popularity of both consoles and that neither received an update feature to their systems via the same service to make use of the [[Nintendo Network]] instead. It is worth noting that both ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' were the most popular games played online on their respected systems, which is probably another reason why the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection didn't receive a discontinuation date yet.

In 2014, the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service was discontinued for Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo DSi. The date is different in different countries; for example, it was discontinued in West Europe on June 8, 2014<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw</ref>. This includes online play, matchmaking, and leaderboards.

Ten days before the discontinuation, on May 10, 2014, a homebrew group called Wiimmfi Project<ref>https://wiimmfi.de</ref> unofficially brought the service back online for then 23 Nintendo Wi-Fi Compatible games and over 100+ games as of May 2017. In December 2017, it became possible to use the Wii's [[Wii#Internet Channel|Internet Channel]] to temporarily patch the disc in the console for Wiimmfi online play.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhJOCfmyhXc</ref> Since November 2018, it is possible to modify a Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, or Nintendo 3DS Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection DNS settings to temporarily patch games for Wiimmfi online play as well.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh0AZR-tKwM</ref>
