Having worked with GameSpy as a developer, I cringed when I heard this news. GameSpy's backend is a hackterrific bundle of bits of wire held together with chewing gum; it just happens to be so popular because (a) it's free and (b) it's a big name. If it works AT ALL on the first go, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Poor, poor Nintendo.
