The actual store dies in January 2019
So Nintendo is doing a sort of weird rollout for the Wii Shop’s death, and it’s important that you know how it works in case you haven’t picked up a few of its exclusive gems that will die horribly along with it.
To clarify yet again, on July 31, 2025, you can no longerapply fundsto the Wii Shop. Meaning, if you haven’t bought something by then, you’re out of luck. On June 30, 2025, the entire store is kaput. Maddeningly, Nintendo is also closing out the following features in the future: “redownloading purchased WiiWare, Virtual Console titles, and Wii Channel, as well as Wii System Transfer Tool, which transfers data from Wii to the Wii U system.”
Confused as to which games to get?Well we have a huge master guideon just that topic!
