Wiiショッピングチャンネル
On March 26, 2018 (worldwide), the Wii Shop Channel was updated to remove the ability to purchase Wii Points --with a credit card or a Wii Points card-- in preparation for its shutdown in the following year. This was at 1 pm for PT. Beginning with that date, Wii Shop Channel users could no longer add Wii Points. Because the ability to add Wii Points was removed, they were no longer able to add points to purchase and play Virtual Console games and/or WiiWare unless they had enough Wii Points in their account balance (prior to March 26, 2018). So, they could only use previous existing Wii Points to purchase content (purchase and play Virtual Console games and/or WiiWare). Then from that date (Mar. 26, 2018), the Wii Shop Channel remained open until January 30, 2019.
