Maybe we could use this forum to organize. Here's a list of my Wii games that have online support: BIT.TRIP Complete Gradius Rebirth * Mega Man 9 * Mega Man 10 * Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 Rayman: Raving Rabbids TV Party Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Sin & Punishment: Star Successor * Sonic Colors * The Last Story * Trauma Center: New Blood * (games on my backlog) I also have a question: I've marked the games with online support I haven't played yet with a . Which one of them would you recommend to play before online support ends?

The one games on that list you may want to try the online before it goes is The Last Story. In all honestly I didn't spend very much time with it but it maybe something worth trying out before you can't.

They nailed it with Mario Kart 7 and a few other games, but it's been little more than an afterthought in most of their Wii-era games. It doesn't surprise me that Nintendo is dropping support, since the volume of people using their online services probably doesn't justify the cost of keeping them active. However, I hope the 3DS and Wii U keep going strong with it, since they are finally showing some real promise in the online realms.
