Nintendo has apologised for leaving Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon on Wii U without online play since March, as it brings servers for both games back online.
In a statement released today, five months after it temporarily shut down online multiplayer for both titles, Nintendo says it has addressed a "vulnerability related to online play".
Servers will go live again sometime tomorrow, 3rd August, some 153 days later, with a fresh patch to download for both Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon.
