'''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection''', or '''WFC''', was a service from [[Nintendo]] that allowed Nintendo [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DS]] games and applications to connect to the Internet. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was one of the many games that had compatibility with the service, using it to allow for [[Online play|online brawls]] either [[with friends]] or [[with anyone]]; in addition, players could also exchange some data with other players with the service.

The service was later superseded by the [[Nintendo Network]] for the [[Wii U]] and [[3DS]], though the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection continued to act as a legacy connection for the Wii and DS consoles; both the Wii U and 3DS had only limited compatibility with the service. With the shutdown of the network provider {{iw|wikipedia|GameSpy}}, the service went permanently offline on May 20th, 2014. However, thanks to [[hacking|hacks]], particularly Wiimmfi, players can continue playing compatible games via private servers, and the emulator [[Dolphin]] also supports online play for ''Brawl'', along with other benefits.
