It's the PSN for the Wii. The online servers are already gone (Because they were hosted on Gamespy's servers, so they went when it went), and now Nintendo is prepping to close the store. You can still buy stuff up to the 26th of this month, but they're taking it down completely on January 30th of next year.

The Dolphin Dev blog has an interesting post related to the Wii Shop and the Wii Network - they managed to get Dragon Quest X Emulation and the Wii's Netcode working to the point where you could play on official servers through the emulator, download OS updates to the emulator as if it were a real Wii, sync your profiles to the emulator to download previously purchased titles as if it were a new Wii, and yes, purchase new titles via emulator as if it were a Wii.
dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/08/23/emulating-dqx-online/
Pretty fucking incredible thing for an emulator to be doing, if you ask me, when seen through the lens of going for "perfect emulation accuracy" rather than strict piracy.

Well they have cannibalized the wii-u by taking most of its game to the Switch to keep that console alive. It would be smart on Nintendo's part to take the majority of the Wii U's eshop and dump it in the Switch's, of course making sure the games work and such.

To answer the question posed in the thread, YES there is a repository, there's a link in the share-thread but I'm not going to post it here 'cuz of what happened last time. However like what >14496394 said, you should archive this shit yourself in the event of hosting failure. Theoretically, you could stick the entire Wii digital library on a single Wii, given that the whole thing comes out to just over 32 GB, which is the largest size of memory card the Wii can handle.

The 32GB limit for FAT32 partitions is just a Windows limitation. You can use 3rd party partition tools or a non-shit OS to create FAT32 partitions up to 2TB. It's taken me multiple tries/methods sometimes to make a FAT32 drive work in some devices, but I can almost guarantee if a device supports FAT32 that you can stick a larger drive in there.

As much as I may be a buyfag (And, somewhat advocate for it), that's a shitty move to pull. Also, just looked in some of the repositories, and it appears that everything is backed up at multiple places far as NTSC Wiiware and VC, but I only found on place that hosted Japanese Wiiware titles.

Short answer. At this point in time, no.
Long answer. There was a RUMOR that the ReBirth trilogy (+ a 4th unreleased ReBirth game possibly Jackal that was cancelled back in 2009) was going to ported to Switch. http://archive.is/u783O
Personally I'm buying CTA:RB in these last few days (I don't own Gradius or Contra), and I'm willing to miss out on them. If the rumored RB trilogy pack does end up on Switch at least it means I wouldn't have to regret rebuying it all while also gaining the bonus of having easy Switch based local multiplayer for Contra.

Another Nintendo published WiiWare Japan got Line Attack Heroes developed Grezzo (Oot/MM 3D and Ever Oasis devs). Annoyingly enough the game appeared with an English translation at E3 2009 but still didn't get released in the West.
Pole Big Adventure is that bizarre SMB like parody game that SEGA made that is also Japan only.

Might as well ask here since it's Wii focused already: In terms of Wii/Gamecube game homebrew loading, can those work if you have a large enough SD card as storage to load wii games from, or does the storage medium need to be USB based? Or am I just asking a dumb question?
