Nintendo today announced that one of the key features of the original Wii is being closed down on June 26th. The WiiConnect24 service allowed Nintendo servicesd and games to send short messages to the Wii console even while the Wii was sleeping. Several games, including Mario Kart wii, Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing and NiGHTS all took advantage of this service to enhance their games. Since the service was not included in Wii U, the shutdown was expected.

With the shutdown, the following services will no longer be available.

-Game features that depended on WiiConnect24
-Forecast Channel
-News Channel
-Check Mii Out Channel
-Everybody votes Channel
-Mii Parade and Mii sending
-Wii Message Board service

The following services will not be impacted:
-Multiplayer via WFC
-Wii Shop Channel
-Netflix, YouTube and Hulu Plus apps

Looks like the Mario Kart Channel's message will seize to a halt without wiiconnect24 and I won't get anymore messages about tournaments.

Who is Pooka?

This means that the daily Smash Bros Brawl levels are no longer available or something? I have no idea about the Wii, but I'm still interested in knowing what happened.
