Retro gamer resurrects Nintendo Wii Food Channel, uses Wii console to order Domino’s Pizza — the WiiLink project is the magic ingredient

Wii Food app.

A 20-year-old Nintendo Wii console has been demonstrated making an online Domino’s Pizza order in the U.S. This is quite a feat for several reasons. Firstly, the Wii’s online services were shuttered by Nintendo last decade. Secondly, as PCGamer notes, the service that has been resurrected to order at your local U.S. Domonio’s was previously a Japanese-only app called the ‘Damae Channel,’ which was deactivated in 2017. Lastly, the Wii app seemed to work very smoothly – we’ve definitely seen worse takeaway ordering apps on Android and iOS.
