In the article for Tetris Axis it is implied it uses Nintendo Wifi Connection - Is it going to be worthless after 20th May ?

Or is the article just wrong ?

If it uses the Wi-fi connection for online play, then it will stop working in May

I think Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is officially just for Wii/DS games, and they already said it was just the online functionality for Wii/DS games we'd be losing, so I don't think you have to worry about any 3DS or Wii U games losing online functionality for a few years.

https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/tetris_axis - If you look at this it says Wifi Connection. (I have not bought it yet but if I do buy it then I want to use the online - otherwise I might as well get the Gameboy one). If it started off as the Wiiware Tetris Party that would have used it.

Maybe I just need to wait until it actually goes off so somebody who already has it can tell me.

Hi Sam - from what I understand, Tetris for Nintendo 3DS does use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but whether the service will stop working in May is unclear. Will do some more digging and let you know what I find.

Edit: To clarify, I mean it's unclear if Tetris's online services will stop working in May. The fact that WFC will shut down on 20 May is undisputed. I'll check this out and get back to you if I find anything out.

Tetris Axis uses Nintendo Network and will not go offline after May 20th, Tetris DS and Tetris Party Deluxe will go offline after May 20th though. All online Wii and DS games use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection while all online 3DS and Wii U games use Nintendo Network. Tetris Axis will not be going down after May 20th.
