Why is everybody so sad, don’t let this get you down, I promise I’ll see you all again one day!

I think the reason is pretty simple, is because the music and channel files are included in the Wii consoles as default, just that they deleted all contents from the shop's online server which includes games, youtube, etc. and if you haven't downloaded them before the shop closed then tough luck.
@MiniGamer2015 I'm not sure what that means since I don't know the technical terms that hackers know, but I'm assuming you're implying that the Wii Shop menu could disappear overnight as long the Wii is connected to the internet? That's the only explanation I can come up with when you said incorrect. Frankly I don't think that's possible unless there's forced auto update.
Maintaining an old digital shop isn’t cheap, so it had to shut down sooner or later. Maybe third party companies plan to port several WiiWare games to the Switch in the near future. Hoping Bandai Namco releases a Muscle March collection.
Elliot Jones the dsi was my childhood my family and I still have 1 but the fact that Nintendo has to do this is stupid they make a fuck ton of money but Wii shops somehow are expensive yet they have made/make millions or billions of dollars
Thank god it's not actually closed on the wii u. Still though, we will miss you wii shop channel, and all of your best wii ware games. Goodbye. RIP 2006-2019
Tyran Batten that's not what I meant, the wii u menu shop is still open, but all the wii ware and virtual console games are gone. The only things left are the wii transfer tool and skyward sword channels. It's bad enough to keep the virtual console section instead of removing it along with wii ware if no games remain in the virtual console section, but nonetheless, we still get Nostalgia from the theme.
Ouch. My childhood just got murdered. I loved cooking with ultra-hand, one of the best games off of the Wii shop channel in my opinion. It just makes me sad.
I miss the wii it was my favourite console I had it till last October when I put it in my loft and I can't believe that the only still working online feature the wii shop channel is gone. Oh well at least they let you in to listen to the music
I grew up on the wii when i was little when i was born 2006 in december 12 i loved the games but now that the wii shop is gone i have to say goodbye😭😭😭😭 wii we will miss you farewell 😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😥😥😥😥😪😪😪😪😪😢😢
It's cool that you decided to do that video! I hope you try to redownload as many of those past purchases as you can, maybe add some demos if you have the storage space to spare. Actually, with all this video, I'm sure there will be a Freeshop for hacked Wiis that will clone the appearance of the Wii Shop, but link to sites online that have the content archived.
Wait wasn’t the point of shutting down the channel to save money on constantly running the server yet they still let you download the Wii U transfer tool and Skyward Sword patch...... Why even close it in that case?
I mean, those two channels must be in another server or something... They are kinda crucial to the system.. the transfer tool to the newer console.. and the fix for one of the best-selling games on it • -•
Gabriel Yanni Ocon yeah but they’re still spending money on a dead console. Also the Wii U is the worst selling Nintendo console (if you don’t count the virtual boy) and Skyward Sword only sold about 3.96 million units making it the second lowest selling 3D Zelda (or lowest overall if you count Majora’s masks releases on virtual console and GameCube Zelda collection as part of the overall sales) www.vgchartz.com/game/45669/the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword/ That may seem like a lot but first party Wii games often hit around 5 million or even the double digits
@@kylecampbell565 well, if they are able to keep those two online in the dead shop then it probably doesn't cost them anything to keep them around.. I'm glad they at least for now are keeping those two And yeah, I know the Wii U didn't sell a lot, but it did sell (I had one too, and in my opinion it is very underrated)... And not all people have transferred their Wii library to the Wii U, which is probably why Nintendo is keeping that channel available... Now granted, I don't see that much appeal on transferring it to the Wii U aside from the upscaling to 1080p, compared to the GC retro-compatibility, but they're crazy so eh...
Now if they would fix the 206701 error when using the Wii portion of the transfer tool, that'd be Pikatastic! I had to call Nintendo & have them transfer my shop account because of that freaking srror!
It literally makes no sense why Nintendo chose to discontinue Nintendo WFC & Wii Shop Channel when Microsoft hasn't even discontinued Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 & Sony hasn't even discontinued PSN for the PS3.
I wonder what would come next regarding the wii... Rip childhood😢 Edit: Honestly, I still play wii and I’m glad that it was created, though it is kinda dying I will always have memory’s with my family or just with myself lol ❤️❤️ I will play it most chances I get to ❤️
Luna :3 The Wii already died, when they shutted down the online service. But I feel you. I remeber playing thousands of hours in Mario Kart, or Animal Crossing. Damn time flies way to fast man...
I can't believe that it took over 12 years to close it. Check Mii Out Channel and Everybody's Vote Channel was closed back in 2013 while it was 6 years after they launched.
Hey I know this says reuse allowed below, but I just wanted to check. Is it ok if I use a portion of this for a video I'm making? I'll credit the video in the description!

I just found my wii after like 10 years and I went to buy the legend of Zelda twilight princess and I saw this message and I was completely torn to Pieces

Nintendo: *why are people pirating our games?*
Also Nintendo: **removes exclusives**
Yup
Me: You didn't have Goldeneye 007, or Conker's Bad Fur Dau
Nintendo: :/
Factz
ECW Plays why would nintendo have a non kid friendly game? Oh yea...*it was in the Nintendo 64...*
Why is everybody so sad, don’t let this get you down, I promise I’ll see you all again one day! I love all of my users, and I hope you will still love me, and don’t forget me now that I’m gone, I’ll always be in all of your guy’s hearts!💗

Oof that hit the feels
Wii Shop Channel youll be back when hackers make a new version of you that will work forever :3
@@mmlttv7256 Cough Cough Dolphin Emulator.
I love you Wii Shop Channel ❤️
Im just glad they didnt close the entire channel in general, Im glad they didnt remove the music
It will be there before the end of time it's great music
I think the reason is pretty simple, is because the music and channel files are included in the Wii consoles as default, just that they deleted all contents from the shop's online server which includes games, youtube, etc. and if you haven't downloaded them before the shop closed then tough luck.
Well it's needed for vital software such as the wii u transfer tool.
@MiniGamer2015 I'm not sure what that means since I don't know the technical terms that hackers know, but I'm assuming you're implying that the Wii Shop menu could disappear overnight as long the Wii is connected to the internet? That's the only explanation I can come up with when you said incorrect. Frankly I don't think that's possible unless there's forced auto update.
@MiniGamer2015 I just searched what NAND and WAD means. I don't think a Wii would still be a considered a Wii without WAD.
Who hates it when Nintendo discontinues their services but now it’s sitting on your home screen for no reason?
Yup, especially the DS shop tOOO
In miiverse too
Miiverse
Well, it's there if you wanna download games you downloaded in the past.
@@idk-sy3iu and Nintendo zone on the 3ds
It feels like an abandoned mall, no one in sight and nothing to see
KoishiKomeiji11 ikr
The Wii was one of my favorite consoles
There still is virtual console
I agree
Someone should make a petition to add the wii shop channel back
I was thinking that.
Maintaining an old digital shop isn’t cheap, so it had to shut down sooner or later. Maybe third party companies plan to port several WiiWare games to the Switch in the near future. Hoping Bandai Namco releases a Muscle March collection.
Keep in mind there’s a reason it was shut down
@@rylandj27 what was it
Anthony gonzalez saldarriaga probably because it’s expensive to keep it going plus they want to focus on the Switch more
well at least they kept the bangin tune
Don't be sad that it ended.
Be glad that it happened.
Im not sure if i am
Its from 2006 and it was nostalgic
And the music
Mother 3.
Still not in the US even after those 12 years after release...
Nope just pirate games
nour a who never homebrewed their wii?
Truer words had never been said
Damn, people's childhoods are being removed as years go by.
This really meant lots to all of us.
Ayla Gamer you forgot the dsi shop
Elliot Jones the dsi was my childhood my family and I still have 1 but the fact that Nintendo has to do this is stupid they make a fuck ton of money but Wii shops somehow are expensive yet they have made/make millions or billions of dollars
Since I never knew this thing, how did it work?
Like, the Wii points and stuff.
I know it's probably like the eshop for 3DS...
It’s weird how the closed Wii Shop is using assets from when the Wii Shop first opened.
Go figure
It imploded on it's self
Nintendo: Oh god, they know our service is still runing, but we have no games!
I Had thinked Nintendo ist Doing Something Like in Miiverse a Message that says Shop closed
The shop was updated. After they deleted everything including the updates it reverted back to default.
The files of the channel got removed, except for the 2009 files.
*Dead meme replay button*

Dead meme ? More like a beautiful nostalgic classic..
Thank god it's not actually closed on the wii u. Still though, we will miss you wii shop channel, and all of your best wii ware games. Goodbye. RIP 2006-2019
@ᛡᛒ Scobey The Wii U eshop is still open

How could anyone dislike the Wii shop.
(Press f to pay respect for our fallen comrade)
Wow, they even put the message that it’s closing down..
Goodbye Wii Shop Channel. You will never be forgotten. :'(
Mr. Miyamoto, I don't feel so good....
Nintendo: *snap*
Nintendo: snap
At least you can still listen to that rapturous music as you look back on all the good times you had with this splendid application
The memories...
Now That The Wii Shop Channel Is Down, Some Wii Hacker Is Probably Gunna Find A Way To Turn It Into A Distribution Shop For Homebrew Stuff.
Ouch. My childhood just got murdered. I loved cooking with ultra-hand, one of the best games off of the Wii shop channel in my opinion. It just makes me sad.
Mine too.
We will mii's u..
That's gonna be Xbox 360 and PS3 Marketplace in 10 years
PS3 - maybe, x360 - definately not, 'coz of the backwards compatibility.
@@GetToHellOut Microsoft just can transfer all the data to a new server. I'm not even sure that Xbox One loads Xbox 360 games from its Xbox Live.
@@narccc7837 the xbox one emulates x360.
What sucks is that there are original xbox and arcade games that you can purchase digitally on xbox 360 and can't play on xbox one/series s/x 😔
I think I was one of the first people to upload the wii shop after closure, I find it strange why it reversed to its 2006 Ui.
Deleted updates.
@@oblivion2755 Well, the shop run's on a website?

God the memories, anyone remember when the internet channel used to cost 500 wii points before going free?
LMFAOOO what?!?! 😂😂😂

Why are they keeping it up with no ability to make profit
Dont ask just keep listening to the nostalgic song in the background
I think they (nintendo) knew that we are hipping to the music, so they didn't close the whole shop.
