The Nintendo Wii will be old enough to vote in some countries later this year, but the console's storefront is supposedly still online. "Supposedly" is the keyword here, because some in the wide world of gaming have noticed that the Wii Shop channel (as well as the DSi Shop) have been down for days at this point. Given that Nintendo has said nothing publicly about this outage, it's not clear if this is some kind of error, or perhaps an attempt by the gaming giant to turn off the lights on two of its legacy platforms with as little fuss as possible.
Nintendo previously announced that the Wii U and 3DS eShops will close in March 2023. (If you want to know which games to pick up before those legacy storefronts close, check out our list.)
