Nintendo Brings Wii U Versions of Mario Kart 8 & Splatoon Online Again

Nintendo has started bringing ‘Mario Kart 8’ and ‘Splatoon’ Wii U versions back online from August 3rd, after an issue was fixed.

Offline since March, due to a “vulnerability related to online play,” the company is still to release details about said vulnerability, but reports suggest it was likely one allowing a bad actor to take over a console by connecting to it online.

In order to play the two games online now, users need to download a new update. The company have also noted if more issues arise, it may need to discontinue online multiplayer “at short notice.”
