If you’ve been hoping to play some more online games on your Wii U, you are in luck. Starting on Thursday, August 3 at 10:00 a.m. Japan Time, online play for Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon on the Wii U will be up and running. Nintendo has been doing maintenance related fixes for both games since March 3, 2023 in an effort to resolve vulnerabilities that were present in the games. While both titles will be playable from Thursday, if any other vulnerabilities are found after that point, online play for will be suspended permanently.
Although online play is still available on the Wii U (and Nintendo 3DS), the ability to purchase games and download free content, including demos, is no longer possible.
