Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo closing online services for Wii this June

There was already a thread on this awhile ago. Thanks for revival. Loved the Check Mii Out Channel (got many bad ass Mii characters from there such as Peter Griffin, Homer, Obama, Chuck Norris, Michael Jackson, Mario, Stormtrooper, etc...). Also, mad props to the Everybody Votes Channel (remembers d21's thread of what happens when you get home on everybody votes channel thread...).

Oh drat. Now I feel compelled to see what's happened on the Mii Contest Channel in the five years since I last used it.



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

Download some of those badass user made Miis while you still can or you can buy a Wii U and use QR codes to obtain them.



As long as they keep the online mode of their game, it's all right.

They probably stopped the support of the channels because the use was very low. There are still thousands of people playing MK Wii online though and it doesn't stop.

I believe that MKDS servers are still online.

It was a fun channel.  I have Jesus/hippy, Spok, and the Pink Panther as some of my favorites.  I had a Peter Griffin but my nephew used him and made him all skinny!  It's funny, it's a skinny Peter Griffin, and I can't adjust him as I didn't create him.  Would have to get some people on the balance board.

But this does seem quicky to turn off the rest of thoses.  The WiiU has been out, what 6 months?  But I guess if nearly nobody uses them, then few would notice.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Personally I think Nintendo should have supported these unit they discontinued Wii. I still use mine, including occasionally the voting channel, and for people who are just buying their first one, finding out that that some of the features were discontinued before you even bought it, just sucks.



 

And you guys wonder why the hardcore won't ever come to Nintendo. The 360 and PS3 will have servers up for years after the Wii. WiiU is definitely the next Gamecube. 25-30m sold max.



Not a big deal.

Do you know how silly this sounds?
