Alrighty, we all have barely more than a day before Nintendo shuts down all legacy WiFi connectivity in favor of their next generation consoles.

A huge chunk of the WFC community have prayed that awesome hackers would create some sort of custom server for very popular games such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, various Pokemon games, and Mario Kart.

And, guess what? That's sorta the case. I'm just going to cut to the chase.

Do yourself and friends a favor. Find game IDs by the reference or by Google, and get your game FCs. Input, submit, and wait at most 24 hours.

By the time all the pavement hardens, you will be able to connect to a very special DNS (176.9.146.163) and play your games online.

For those of you playing Brawl, please refer to this forum.

Help yourself and friends.

EDIT
Well, that's the end of that.
If you missed it, you still
have the opportunity to
connect, but you will have
to restart your game. So...

EDIT 2
DAMN.

To add your friend code, make sure your friend code has dashes "-" between 4 set of numbers. As for game id, look at your game card and it's the 4 letters in the middle on the bottom.

Well, actually, the database is reserving your FC for your system's ID.
If you wait until after, you may connect, but the server will see your device as new and will attempt to assign it a new FC. Which won't work.

So you'd have to clear the save of your game in order to obtain a new FC. Yikes. I don't feel like unlocking Wolf again.
