It’s an end of an era as Nintendo has announced that the Wii Shopping Channel will close on January 31st 2019. You can add points until 2018/03/27 and will still be able to buy Wii Ware and Virtual Console games until 2019/01/31. This move also affects the backwards-compatible one on the Wii U.
Redownload of already bought software, as well as the Wii -> WiiU data transfer will stay online for the time being but will also shut down at an undetermined date in the future.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.
I thought this already happened.
I know right?
i thought this happened when i got a system update and when it got updated why are you closing it and why can’t you let people down load everybody votes channel check me out channel and nitendo channel and why won’t the forcast channel and the news channel work too?
Because it’s outdated dude. When you had something for 5 to 7 years, it gets outdated like the rest of the system.
So Did I, I guess this both caught our eye. Anyway Mike S. Come over and have some pie. It is healthy you will live and wont die. The pie is so good, you will multiply. Then you will get wings but you still won’t fly. Now if you excuse me, I have to find some fish to fry.
Best rhyming from you in a while.
The Switch. Is still the perfect pick i cannot believe Nintendo still supports the Wii, Wii U and Switch how slick.
Tooty says she’s find with me, if you go home, I’ll set her free.
What’s the matter Banjo is it too tough? Let me.know when you had enough!!!
So i guess it’s time to hack my Wii then and also that means no final Fantasy or sega genesis games on Wii u
Gotta download all those Neo Geo-titles!! Woob-obobooob
This is my issue with eshops being specific for each console. It makes the purchases feel way cheaper in the long run as compared to a physical copy. From my understanding, if your Wii Crashes after you are unable to redownload games, you’re going to be basically screwed even if you have backup copies.
I guess you’ll just have to keep a copy of ypur downloaded games on an SD card. Of course, that only works if you can fix the crashed Wii.
So, it has finally come to this.
I wonder what they do with the remaining points. Legally, they cannot confiscate them or declare them invalid (at least in countries with sane laws).
I guess WADs are the way to go.
Ah the Wii Shop Channel, back when you didn’t have to wait a millenium for a good VC lineup. Meanwhile the Switch doesn’t have anything unless if you count the archive collection.
And so it shows how easy one can lose all digital purchases in a flash…..poof!!! when the online shop closes doors forever.
Last call for Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Never know when the original version of the game will be available in the U.S. again. Get it while it lasts.
Really hope they slash some prices then, since there are some games I still want
So, it has finally come to this.
