Time is almost up for the Nintendo Wii Shop & WiiWare!
Following the Xbox 360 Indie shutdown, which saw many games fail to be archived. Even sites like the Internet Archive appeared to do little to help prevent this loss, right now it’s almost impossible to even find a full list of games released on the service 3398 were listed when the shutdown occurred. However many titles had been removed from the service before it closed, the indie version of Dark Reign is one such example on Xbox indie.
Now in 10 days time it’s the beginning of the end for the Nintendo Wii shop: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2017/September/Important-information-about-the-closure-of-the-Wii-Shop-Channel-1285994.html
After Monday 26th March 2018 at 21:00 UK time, you will no longer be able to buy Wii points. When this happens you will only be able to spend your remaining balance. Pretty much putting an end to the Wii Shop, it will fully close on Thursday, 31st January 2019 at 06:00 UK time.
Over the past few years numerous games have already been delisted from the Wii Shop. If there are any WiiWare games you want, now is the last chance you have to pick them up. Here are a few WiiWare titles we at Randomised Gaming recommend picking up are:
Alien Crush Returns (Pinball, Devil Crush series)
Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth
Contra ReBirth
Excitebike: World Rally (Some online features are no longer available)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (DLC heavy, quite pricey to see everything the game has to offer)
Gradius ReBirth
LostWinds & LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias
Onslaught / Madsecta (Japanese name)
We highly suggest picking up any titles you want this weekend, don’t leave it to the last minute.
