Nintendo closing Wii channels and online services this June

[Blooker]

thats prob why they did it. because the wii U is doing very very bad.

nintendo was right to catch the entire casual gamer market with the first wii. what they forgot, is that casual gamers dont continue to spend money on games...

Do you think Nintendo will stop making consoles altogether? I'd like to see a situation where Nintendo puts its games on Playstation and Xbox
That would be weird

Nintendo systems are cheaper, so I would not like that to happen.

"idea, let's force our customers to a different product!"

you guys realize
the only thing happening really is that they're not supporting sending/receiving messages and some nintendo channels
aka stuff that isnt a necessity
atleast thats what i got from this

I fail to see how this would push someone to buy a product without a replacement for any of the channels that are going down.

The Wii U isn't getting the attention it deserves, this is sad.

Finally, I can smash my Wii into a million pieces.

Ugh. By "online services", do you mean Mario Kart Wii online/SSB/etc?

If so, this is a problem. My Wii doesn't seem to like downloading data transfer, so if those get shut down, it's bye bye Mario Kart.
( I don't have the patience to rebuild all of my MKW stats. It took me 4 years to unlock Bowser Jr. Not going through that again. )

It took me 4 years to unlock Bowser Jr

No, it's just most of the Nintendo channels and services.
Sorry If the title is confusing, but that's the name of the article. Did you even read it?
