Indeed. How many of you still consider Battletoads as the hardest game? How many of you use fan supports of dead services? Do people still consider 2018 as the golden year of video games? Well, 2024 is going to soon take that spot.
I didn't even know. I was at cousin's house. I was bored and stuff. Then out of curiosity I started to search my cousin's drawers and found a Wii console! I started to set everything up with the help of my dad. Then I started the Wii up. Aaaaaaah, the nostalgic main theme of the Wii. So relaxing. I realized I had no games downloaded, so I pointed the hand at the Wii Shop Channel and chose Start. The blue ring meaning that it's loading hyped me up. After all the waiting, I saw the news but didn't read them, because...well I didn't care. I wanted them spicy games. My cousin has saved up A LOT of Wii Points. Of course, I had to ask him if I can use them, and he said yes! But when I tried searching for "Sonic the Hedgehog", for some reason it didn't find them. I typed Mario because I knew at least one Mario game had to be in the Shop. It found nothing. Then I searched the Internet for help and found this video. I don't how the fuck I missed the news about the Wii Shop Channel closing.
I grew up with a wii I’m proud of it made me happy when I was sad it entertained me when I was bored but it may be dead but it’s presence lives forever
I remember how excited I was as a kid to get my Wii connected to the internet and gets VC and Wiiware games and free channels off the Wii Shop Channel. It was such a good era
I remember receiving my White Wii Deluxe with a GameCube built in and coming with Wii Sports as Nintendo's first ever Wii game. Was it not only my first introduction to Nintendo but to video games in general. I grew up with Nintendo. I grew up playing Nintendo. I had so many great times and so many fond, memorable and treasurable memories that I will FOREVER treasure. I remember kicking my parents asses in Mario Kart Wii and beating them in Wii Sports Bowling/Tennis/Boxing/Golfing/Baseball. And also all the sports in Wii Sports Resort.

I cant believe it’s been five years. Now the 3DS and Wii U online capabilities are ending next month from now, a few days actually, leaving us only with the Switch. What will happen when the Switch shop closes in another 6-7 years too?
The Wii brings back so many memories. I didn’t even have Wii Connect- so I was playing on my own or with family. I remember making the silliest miis, the music- chef’s kiss. I remember the countless hours spent on Wii Sports Resort, randomly flinging and flailing the remote around to try and hit my target. And Wii fit… telling me I was obese. Man, I remember killing my self with the yoga- freaking out because I couldn’t do a shoulder stand XD Then, just for all of it to be thrown away. My Wii started glitching, showing the dreaded black screen error. The CHILLS I GOT- it brings tears to my eyes with all the happy memories. I wish it hadn’t broken, but I guess I can be thankful for all the time I spent. Thank you Nintendo. For your amazing consoles and awesome games. :,)

I remember when downloading games had a cool little animation on the Wii and especially the 3Ds. Now on the Switch, we just have… Nothing. No music, either.
I never could experience the Wii but I know how it feels when you missed out on something beautiful… I wish I had a Wii and a Nintendo DS i it would have been so much better than the Nintendo DS lite and a PlayStation 2…
Well, I mean all of them have already aged at least by a decade for Wii u even the Wii and 3DS survived for 12 years. That counts long for a console because normally console survived around 5-9 years.
Look into RiiConnect24. Also Wiimmfi. If you can't tell by watching my video, my Wii isn't exactly vanilla (black Wii Menu)-- I play the vast majority of my games from a USB hard drive. Every Wii is hackable and it's super easy. I definitely recommend it since it's dead to Nintendo now 🙃
dude i remember using my aunts wii when she was at work i thought it was just some weird tv controller and i went to some mii world (and today on 5/10/22! i found it it was called the MiiChannel)
I didn’t know that the shop channel was closed until after I found out that Netflix on my Wii stopped working. I never downloaded any Wii ware or virtual console games because by time I starting playing my Wii it was already too late for me to get far enough into it for me to find them. 😢
I feel like, as a child, I didnt appreciate the Wii store that much.... i was desesperated to buy the free games cos I never could get wii points tho... The worst part is that each time a game bored me, would just unninstall it, instead of thinking it would be something extremely appreciated years after, I wanna travel to past and stop my 8 y/o self from unninstalling games that are now a burning memory
