[RiiConnect24](https://rc24.xyz/) allows you to use the News or Forecast Channel, exchange mail between Wiis and PC, vote on polls, and other WiiConnect24 features. It replaces the built-in WiiConnect24 system.
|
|
|
|
As it stands, RiiConnect24 does not support the Wii U yet, so please do not install it on a Wii U yet.
|
|
<br>
|
|
So far only the News, Forecast, and Everybody Votes Channels work, but check [the stats page](https://rc24.xyz/stats/index.html) for further developments.
