WiiConnect24 was a service that allowed users with Internet connected Wiis to view the weather & local news, send messages to friends, participate in Mii contest, and more. WiiConnect24 was discontinued on June 27th, 2013.

RiiConnect24 + WiiLink

RiiConnect24 is a revival service for WiiConnect24 that started in 2015, which allows you to regain its functionality on your console. As of late 2023, the service is now owned by WiiLink, a project that started in 2020 that was previously aiming at the Japanese-exclusive channels.

There is a patcher that ships both of these services together as one - meaning you get all of the international and Japanese-only channels in one package. The guide on how to install these services can be found on WiiLink's website.
