From http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw

As of May 20, 2014, certain online functionality offered through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will no longer be accessible. The discontinued services include online play, matchmaking and leaderboards for many Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games. For a comprehensive list of games and services that are affected, please check http://support.nintendo.com/servicesupdate. Users can still play the games in offline mode, which continues to offer a rich game-play experience.

Online play for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games will be unaffected (aside from the Wii mode on Wii U and Nintendo DS games on Nintendo 3DS family systems). Other online functionality, such as access to the Wii Shop Channel, the Nintendo DSi Shop and video-on-demand services, are also not affected at this time.
==========================================================================
This doesn't really affect me but there's a sizeable list of games it affects (though Monster Hunter Tri wasn't on the list) that are all listed in the link at the beginning.

I've read about that, Lord Sathien. It's not going to affect me too much, either, but I'm largely concerned about my sister; she and I sometimes play Mario Kart Wii online against people all over the world. I'll have to give her the bad news.

You know what? I'm almost glad Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is going to die soon! You know why>

I remembered my Wii dying some years ago and having to unlock everything again in Mario Kart Wii. I forgot that I hated doing that because Nintendo had to mix motherfucking Rubber-band AI with a God damn ranking system that everyone would otherwise not give two fucking shits about!

God damn it to hell, I'm glad Nintendo fixed all of those problems in Mario Kart 7. Let's all hope that the problems don't come back in Mario Kart 8.
