Nintendo Decides to Shut Down Some Wii Channels

The Nintendo Wii came with many different 'channels' when it launched. Channels in this case are basically like apps you can download. Like how we download apps for our smart phones. Some of these included a weather channel, a news channel, a everybody votes channel, and many more. These small channels after so long are going to be shut down because Nintendo has stated that these are rarely used compared to other channels. So they are thinking they should shut down those servers. I personally liked these channels. I found myself sometimes randomly checking the weather for the next day, and also took a look at the news channel to see what is going on throughout the world. It will be a little sad to see them go, but I think Nintendo is doing the right thing. They were not being as used as other channels anyways. It was just nice to be able to view the weather and check news if you don't normally watch the news on tv.
