According to ITMedia News (a Japanese site) Nintendo has officially announced it will cease support of a number of their more classic-consoles: the Famicom/NES, the SNES, GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket and Nintendo 64 (N64).
If you have invested into EA sports titles, challenge this:
starting August 1st, EA will drop online functionality on 11 games according to ArsTechnica. The list consists mainly of sportsgames like NBA Live 2005, NHL 2005 and FIFA Soccer 2005 – most of these titles are about 20 months old. But also games not even a year old have their internet functionality flushed down the drain – Total Club Manager’06 being a fine example of that. The decision affects pc, xbox and ps2 titles. EA makes an exception for the PS2 version of Need for Speed Underground 2, but PC and Xbox owners are left out in the cold.
