The '''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection''' (abbreviated '''WFC''') was [[Nintendo]]'s online match making service used by specific games on a Nintendo system specifically designed to make use of the service. While the system itself is very capable as far as actual matches are concerned, the manner in which it was designed severely limits the creation of an online community. Both the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]], as well as the [[Nintendo DSi]], made use of the system. The system was terminated on May 20th, 2014<ref>[http://www.nintendo.com.au/termination-of-nintendo-wi-fi-connection Termination of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo]</ref> and was succeeded by [[Nintendo Network]] which is still active today on members of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] family and [[Wii U]]; and Nintendo Switch Online for [[Nintendo Switch]]. | The '''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection''' (abbreviated '''WFC''') was [[Nintendo]]'s online match making service used by specific games on a Nintendo system specifically designed to make use of the service.
