Nintendo Channels and services Are Over

Hi.
I want to talk something that's important to everyone who owned Nintendo Wiis. This is not about homebrew and hacking issue.
Few days ago, I turn the wii on and try to check todays news and weather before I start playing games.
But when I get into the forecast and news channel, the message says the forecast/news channel services had been discontinued. Thank you for your participation. I also have Nintendo channel so I try to get into that channel too, but the same message came up like other channels do. Internet and youtube still works yet. I test my connection and reset my wii connect 24 settings by turning off and on again. Does anyone have the same problem like I do? Or does Nintendo start stopping services for wiis? I can still get into the wii shop channel with no problem yet. If Nintendo stop services permanently, can I delete these channels using dopmii?

Those online services have been shut down.

So, should I allow to delete these channels include Nintendo channel, news/forecast?

You can delete the Nintendo channel using data management. You can't delete the news and forecast channels without using dangerous homebrew apps, and there's little point doing so anyway because there aren't any homebrew apps that know how to properly reclaim the space they took up.

I think DOP-Mii can delete and manage NAND default channels include news and forecast channel. I will just try it and if can't, I'm okay to live 2channels.

I didn't say they can't be deleted, I said deleting them will only free up a tiny amount of space because the tools don't do it properly.

Sad that ninty had to do that though. Thank god it's not the Internet channel going!

Interestingly enough, the News/Weather data files for those channels are still downloadable from Akamai's servers.

Perhaps these channel services are simply migrating to the WiiU?

Thanks for good info. Well, what should I do with these files? Hope wii connect24 support in wii U in future update and restart services for wii.

Is there any way to still see your play time on the Nintendo Channel, or should I use PlayStats?

Sorry but you can't. When you start Nintendo Channel, the message will popped up like "Nintendo Channel services had been discontinued. Thank you for your participation." or something like this.
