Multiple Wii online services discontinued today
The discontinued services will render the following Wii home menu 'Channels' obsolete:
Nintendo Channel
News Channel
Forecast Channel
Everybody Votes Channel
Mii Contest Channel
Data exchange with Wii Friends
The Data Exchange with Friends closure will affect the "exchange of Wii messages on the Wii Message Board, exchange of Mii characters on the Mii Channel and message/data exchange within some games will be disabled".
This comes seven months after the launch of the Wii's successor, Wii U, in November 2012.
The Wii U Shop channel will remain online for the forceable future, and can be accessed directly via the Wii U system while in its backwards-compatible Wii mode.
Nintendo said within its original announcement, "We at Nintendo sincerely thank you for your continued patronage of our company's products. We apologise to those of you currently using these services."

Oh well, it's not like many people used these channels anyway, most users still interested in Nintendo probably use a Wii-U anyway.
I'm going to be honest, I never really used the channels either. I was mostly playing on the console itself than on the menu or channels.
Me to, I had fun playing on the Wii :) Bowling, boxing, oh the memories.
I didn't really play Wii Sports. I wasn't a huge fan of it. I was more into SSBB and the GameCube games I still had for the Wii.
Yeah, I love those games aswell, but I loved those new thing like sporting and stuff :D
The games were just weird for me, like tennis, no thank you xD I had Wii Sports and played it a couple times but after that I let it sit and collect dust so to speak.
Haha, I only bought the Wii for those games, it was something new back in the day :D
I bought the Wii in like 2009 and that was because I was bored with the Xbox 360. I mostly got the games that were older games I played. SSBB, Mario Kart, Metroid, etc.
Those are mainly the best games for the wii c:
