A few clarifications on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection shutdown
Nintendo of America Developer Support staffer Akinwale Lakeru has clarified a few points about the upcoming Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection shutdown.
As was previously known, online multiplayer is one of the bigger elements that will be affected. This pertains to titles produced by Nintendo as well as games from third-parties. Also note that DLC can still be downloaded.
@GoldMetalSonic DLC isn't affected, so you can still download updates if they're available. But all matchmaking will no longer be available.

@GoldMetalSonic That DLC still wouldn't be affected. My Pokemon Ranch uses local connection with the Nintendo DS. So, no issue there.

@GoldMetalSonic ALL Wii and DS games that have matchmaking and online multiplayer will no longer be active.
