The '''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection'''{{efn|{{nihongo|ニンテンドーWi-Fiコネクション|Nintendō Wi-Fi Konekushon|lead=yes}}}} (sometimes shortened to '''Nintendo WFC''', Wi-Fi, or '''WFC''') iswas a defunctan online [[Multiplayer|multiplayer gaming]] service run by [[Nintendo]] to provide free online play in compatible [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]] games. The service included the company's ''[[Wii Shop Channel]]'' and [[DSi Shop]] game download services. It also ran features for the [[Wii]] and Nintendo DS systems.

Games designed to take advantage of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection offered Internet play integrated into the game. When promoting this service, Nintendo emphasized the simplicity and speed of starting an online game. For example, in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', an online game was initiated by selecting the online multiplayer option from the main menu, then choosing whether to play with friends, or to play with other players (either in the local region or worldwide) at about the same skill level. After a selection was made, the game started searching for an available player.
