List of streaming services for the Nintendo Wii
The Wii is a home video game console by Nintendo. As part of the Wii system software, several streaming services featured integration with Wii via the Wii Shop Channel, launched on November 19, 2006. Services that were involved in this were embedded with Virtual Console, a line of downloadable Nintendo video games initially made for their home and handheld game consoles. On January 30, 2019, it was shut down on the grounds of limited usage, which was announced two years earlier.[1] A total of 10 streaming services were involved in this integration, including Nintendo's own Nintendo Channel.
