It’s finally time. The legend known as the Nintendo Wii has been laid to rest at last, as the Wii Shop channel is closed down for good.
Way back in September of 2017, Nintendo announced that they’d no longer be supporting the biggest console of all time. While they stopped developing games for it long ago, this will be the final step where they close down the Wii Shop channel. No longer will users be able to purchase games online, download already purchased games, or use the Wii Transfer tool.
This took into effect on January 31.
Hopefully, by now you’ve already spent your Wii Shop points, downloaded all of your games, and transferred what you could onto a Wii U.
Rest in peace, Wii. You’d done enough.
