I cannot remember the last time I've used any of those services.. years at the latest.

^^^ Same here. Good riddance to a collection of softs that virtually nobody is gonna miss.

Sorta sad to see them go - not because I used them, but because it 'feels' like a cost-cutting measure, a reflection of their less than stellar performance recently.

I think they rather trim what noone needs. I mean seriously the weather channel?

Well you can't expect them to let the servers run forever.

Hopefully this doesn't mean the beginning of the end for Nintendo

I doubt it...these were all Wii channels anyway that the Wii U doesn't even have.  To be honest, I could've sworn I remembered them shutting down a couple of these already back when they did the first round of shutting servers down.

But I dunno...instead of doing these rollout shutdowns I think it would've just been easier to shut everything down at once.
