My High School Years

Everybody knows the Wii. It was a revolutionary console that completely changed the gaming industry! It had a great life. But death signs started showing in 2013, when Nintendo discontinued WiiConnect24. This means that the Forecast Channel, News Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, Check Mii Out Channel, and the Nintendo Channel all went offline in 2013. And then in 2017, Nintendo announced the Wii Shop Channel would be discontinued on January 30, 2019. That's only a week from now! You'd better break out your Wii from storage and buy games. Out of points? Out of luck! Nintendo took away the ability to buy Wii Points back in March 2018. It marks the practical end of the Wii after over 12 years, as you're stuck with the games you already have. #Goodbye   #WiiShopChannel

That's it. After 12 years of serving gamers all around the world, the Wii Shop Channel has been officially closed. It was a great channel. But it had a kind of weird goodbye. There wasn't an error message or anything like that, it just reverted to its original 2006 design without the ability to buy games. You can go in right now, you just can't buy games on it. It's weird; it's kind of like it's on permanent standby, if you know what I mean. Like online and offline at the same time. #Goodbye   #WiiShopChannel

Back in 2017, Nintendo announced that the Wii Shop Channel would be discontinued on Jan 30, 2019. That's today! Yet apparently, Nintendo wanted to give their customers one last chance to buy stuff on the Wii Shop Channel, as it will actually, according to Nintendo Australia, shut down on Jan 31, 2019 at 1 AM EST. So, if you can stay up tonight, watch the livestream of the end of the Wii Shop Channel. So before 1 AM tonight, break your Wii OUT and buy GAMES! Out of points? Out of luck! I'm sorry, but Nintendo took away the ability to buy Wii Points in March 2018. #Goodbye   #WiiShopChannel #OneLastChance
