Firstly, the Wii’s online services were shuttered by Nintendo last decade. Secondly, as PCGamer notes, the service that has been resurrected to order at your local U.S. Domonio’s was previously a Japanese-only app called the ‘Damae Channel,’ which was deactivated in 2017. Lastly, the Wii app seemed to work very smoothly – we’ve definitely seen worse takeaway ordering apps on Android and iOS.
Watch On In the video above Pete from Retro Game Attic talks us through the surprisingly painless process of ordering a Domino’s Pizza online using the old but once revolutionary Wii console. Pete mentions up front that the ‘magic’ behind this Wii Food Channel is reliant on a WiiLink.
In the words of the team of tinkerers behind WiiLink, this software “attempts to revive all WiiConnect24 channels, region exclusive channels, and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.” WiiLink went into development in 2020 and supports nine channels, including the headlining Food Channel.
