Nintendo quietly discontinuing Wii U's TVii service in August

Goodbye TVii. We hardly used you.

Nintendo is axing the much-hyped-yet-underdeveloped second screen service for its Wii U console, TVii. Before the Wii U's 2012 launch, the company promised TVii would allow users to organize their live television, DVR-recorded shows and on-demand services like Hulu Plus and Netflix in one interface.

But late Friday, Nintendo announced via its Miiverse social network that TVii would shut down Aug. 11.

After almost 3 years of finding, watching and engaging with Nintendo TVii, we will be ending the service on August 11, 2015 at 3:00pm PT. At the same time, we will be closing the Nintendo TVii Miiverse community.

We sincerely thank you for all of your engagement within the community and the Nintendo TVii service. We look forward to your contributions within our many other Miiverse communities. Read more...
