Wii Shop being Discontinued - Fill in Database
« on: November 05, 2017, 08:31:07 pm »
As we know Wii Shop and Wii Virtual Console is being discontinued. Before Nintendo removes these games off their official website we should try to fill in as much as we can into our database before that info is gone. Sure, some of this info can be found on other sites but Nintendo's site does have the official images which many of these third-party sites may not be hosting.

Objectives:
Add missing games
Add info to existing games:
"Front" image
Release date
Rating
Publisher
Developer if listed
Optional: Descriptions

I will help with this! There are some Wii Virtual Console games I'd like to get before the service ends.

I found a list of game software in Japan for the Wii U. Is it alright to use the images from this?
