Nintendo takes axe to Wii online services
A number of Wii channels will be shut down in late June
Nintendo has announced that a number of the online channels for the Wii console will be discontinued on June 28, 2013. The affected channels include:
- Forecast Channel
- News Channel
- Everybody Votes Channel
- Nintendo Channel
- Check Mii Out Channel
Nintendo also announced that any data exchange between Wii friends on WiiConnect 24 would also be reaching end-of-life. These features include message exchanges on the Wii Message Board, Mii exchanges on the Mii Channel, and data/message exchange in some game titles.
As we move towards an always-online future, the sad side effect is that some features will eventually be shut down on the consoles we love.
Well atleast they haven't killed all of the Wii's online services....yet.
