Wii Shop Closes Down, No Refund Of Unused Wii Points Outside Japan

About 16 minutes ago, the Wii Shop officially shut down worldwide, rendering it inaccessible to all Wii users.

Although Japanese users will be able to receive a refund on unused Wii Points, users living in North America (and probably the rest of the world) will not have the option to receive a refund. Here’s what the official Nintendo website says regarding this matter:

  • We encourage people to spend any unused Wii Points before January 30, 2019, after which it will no longer be possible to purchase content from the Wii Shop Channel.
  • Refunds of Wii Points are not possible.
  • Wii Points cannot be used to fund a Nintendo eShop account or Nintendo Account.
