Well in Nintendo's defense, the Wii and DS were not really known for the great online capabilities. Don't get me wrong, they have compentent online systems, but compared to the PS3, Xbox 360, heck even the PSP, the online services were pretty lacking. Game developers notice these things, and most of the multiplayer centered games led them to develop their games on the 360, PS3, or PSP. Some of these devs even yanked the online portions of their games for the Wii versions, and some of these devs are still doing it today on the Wii U.
I'm sure Nintendo didn't just make this decision overnight. They must have viewed a lot of usage statistics before making this decision. If these systems were getting heavily used online, I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't be pulling the online services. I know I have only used my DS and my Wii for system updates and that's it.
The worst news is for the devs that have online centric Wii games. This is basically going to turn their games into nothing more than frisbees.
