  • This will probably be the last video I upload in my batch. This video shows the final weather forecast of the wii's weather channel before the day of shutdown. Being able to see your weather, and others from around the world will be sorely missed.

    I remember the very first time I heard the word "Wii" come out my brother's mouth in late-2005. I didn't know what the hell it was. He handed down his Nintendo 64 while he had a Gamecube, so at that point I was sick of the Nintendo 64, and was getting his Gamecube.
    I remember the night before the Nintendo Wii was put in his room. Even though all I could do was watch him play Wii Sports and default channels such as Photos and Mii maker, I was so damn excited that I had one of those moments where you close your eyes to sleep, and one second later you open them and it's morning.
    When I was shown the shop channel, day after day, I'd always wake up, dash to his room, and would always see new channels. First was this one, the news, everybody votes, internet... All of that stuff. Christmas of 2006, I finally got my first Wii. I remember how I was twice as excited than when my brother got one.
    After that experience, it was all kinds of adventures spinning the hell out of the globe on Forecast and News, making weird votes, humorously surreal Miis, scribbling on and hard-boiling my family on the photo channel, and going to crazy sites on Opera.
    When I got the message on the Wii announcing Nintendo was closing those channels when I was 13 years old, I never thought that day would come. I cried listening to the menu on the forecast channel.
    To this day, I still have a Wii. Three of them, actually. I never got a Wii U. I have a 2DS XL, a PSP, my laptop, my three Wii's, and that's it. Two of my Wii's are modded.
    Today I got the Forecast, News, Internet, and Everybody Votes Channel working via RiiConnect24, and I took a trip through the memory canyon.
    Even though RiiConnect24 is a thing, this, along with the other three videos of the channels, is still extremely valuable. This was the final day of official service. I kind of like the Gamecube game selection more, but the Wii was the first console I have seen of birth and death within 11 years of a conscious memory (As in not being too young to remember things like the Gamecube. I was 1 when the Gamecube was released.)

    The music itself and just seeing the interface. Remembering thinking this was super high tech at my younger age using it. Back when I had friends in other states, checking their weather, wondering what kind of a day they were having. Or at night, to help me sleep i'd find a place with rain and listen to the thunderstorms with this melody. On sad days where I was down, hearing this music would help me get out my emotions and relax again. Many times I used to write and to get inspiration would use this for background music. It was hard because we had DSL which was just fast enough to load apps, but never fast enough to play online or even watch youtube. So before I discovered videos with atmospheric sounds or the lofi a lot of us listen to today. The nostalgia I'm getting from all this kinda pulls at your gut and makes you feel teary eyed...but like reading these comments is just wow. So many great memories with it! It truly was legend

It is such a shame that they shut it down and honestly there was hardly a reason to other that Nintendo wanting to move on. I really hope Nintendo does something similar with the Switch, it is always nice to know the daily forecast. This channel had such beautiful music, the stuff you can go to sleep to no annoying guy telling you, you can just read it at your own pace, really this channel is missed dearly. Being able to know the weather of any given location on earth is something that we all need. I know we have cell phones and other devices that can do the same thing, but there was a charm that the Wii Forecast channel had to it, be it the calm music and peaceful vibes to the simplistic design nothing beats the Wii Forecast Channel.

  • @_Wakaz_

    The Wii was a worldly console. It felt like more than just a gaming console, more-so a globally used system that brought the world, us, together. From Japan, to Britain, to the United States, everyone was using this console for more than just games, but as a system full of life and wonder. Nintendo's magnum opus, if you will.
    There's something oddly comforting about the Wii, yet with that comes an underlying sense of melancholic nostalgia, a relic of art that will always remain in the midst of history, the midst of time; there will never be an era like the Wii era again, there was something tremendously special about this device, and there still is. There is nothing quite like the Wii, nothing quite like this beautiful piece of technology, that lets us sit still for a moment, all of us, to just let us experience the wonder of this masterful system.
    Watching this, I miss that time, I miss the Wii, wholeheartedly. And looking back, I would just love to go back to that era, as a kid, sitting in the living room, with my family or by myself, simply just absorbing myself in the sheer adventure and depths of this console. If I could live in that era forever, I sure would.
    The globe depicts my love for the Wii perfectly. It went beyond a gaming console, and it became Nintendo's most ambitious and most artistic console to-date, with such detail and such life that made it flourish.
    It's an era that proved gaming to be more than just gaming.
    And ultimately, all l I can say is that I am glad to have been a part of it, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that.

    I even loved this channel when I was younger. I used it even when we had computers and phones to look up the stuff, then it got shut down. In fact the only Wii channel I never used was the News Channel, because I never had a use for it.

    It’s amazing that something so mundane like a channel for weather could bring back so many memories and make you feel such heavy emotion. I remember when I would spend the summer at my dad’s house and I would play the wii for hours. Just being a kid with no worries other than wondering how I was gonna spend my days off during summer vacation. I’m 26 now and I really wish I could go back to such an amazing time.

I would like to look for my town just by scrolling through, I never could though.I remember when I stopped using it for about a year, when I came back when I was around 7 or 8 I saw it and tried to see if it was still there, sadly it wasn’t. Sometimes, I would fall asleep to the music.... I miss those days.
