While the channel itself is not a game, it played a significant role in the Wii's digital distribution system. Here are some interesting facts about the Wii Shop Channel:
Closure: The Wii Shop Channel was officially closed on January 30, 2019. This means that users could no longer purchase or download content from the channel after that date.
Virtual Console: One of the notable features of the Wii Shop Channel was the Virtual Console service. It allowed users to download and play games from older consoles, including the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and more.
Wii Points: To make purchases on the Wii Shop Channel, users needed Wii Points, a virtual currency. Wii Points could be purchased with real money or obtained through gift cards.

The closure of the Wii Shop Channel marked the end of an era for the Wii console's online services, but its impact on digital distribution and the gaming community is still remembered fondly by many.
