Sad for Nintendo Wii U owners, as the Japanese giants have announced that they are discontinuing the Nintendo TVii service on the console by the end of August 11th.

“After almost 3 years of finding, watching and engaging with Nintendo TVii, we will be ending the service on August 11, 2015 at 3:00pm PT. At the same time, we will be closing the Nintendo TVii Miiverse community.

We sincerely thank you for all of your engagement within the community and the Nintendo TVii service. We look forward to your contributions within our many other Miiverse communities. We are deeply thankful for all of the engagement and excitement our users have generated and enjoyed while using the service.

Even though the interactive, second-screen experience of Nintendo TVii will be winding down, you can continue to watch your favourite shows and movies through the multiple Video on Demand applications on the Wii U console.” (Nintendo)
