It's sad to see an end of an era with the Wii Shop Channel, but I have spent time to preserve everything on the Wii Shop Channel for future generations. There's a project going on called 'Open Shop Channel' that is supposed to give you access to a shop with homebrew on it. It's about 300GB!Īre you bringing the Wii Shop Channel back? I have made an almost-complete backup of the Wii CDN, which has all of the encrypted game contents. Try using a different device for video streaming. We are not bringing them back, it would likely be illegal to even do that. It sucks that they are shutting down too. Is that true? Are you going to bring them back?Īccording to Netflix, it is. I heard that video streaming services are shutting down too. Only purchasing games will not be possible anymore, and you can still redownload games. Will the Wii Shop Channel be closed forever on January 30th? This includes screenshots, icons, and manuals of games. The Wii Shop Channel uses HTML and we've backed up a good amount of stuff from it. What about the storefront on the Wii Shop Channel? Is that archived? No thanks, we've got everything that we could get.

I have some remaining Wii Points, is there anything I can buy to help you out?

I guess I can explain No-Intro as a database with hashes of 'good' content, but my collection actually has the real content.

I have a collection of WADs that match up to the database of No-Intro, with some missing games recently added. Since there is no legitimate way to pay for games anymore, I think it's time to just install WADs now. I want to make some things clear about what the future will look like without it. As you might know, the Wii Shop Channel is closing on January 30th.
