Didn't they shut down their own Wii U servers?
That's the point, planned obsolescence.
Shut down the Wii U online services to force people to buy newer hardware. If people create their own "unauthorized" services then, in their eyes, they're losing sales.
I imagine it's not too long before the software starts including an end of life date that bricks devices after a certain date.
