I can live with that. I've already bought all of the games and software that I wanted many years ago. I'm actually surprised it was even up for this long after about 2-3 gaming generations have passed.

It's not completely closed yet, you can still purchase games until January 2019. But you can't add Wii points to your account anymore. So to buy games now, you would have to already have wii points on your account. These kind of services seem to stick around for a long time because companies can still make some money off game sales. I got a lot of use out of the wii shop and it feels surreal to see it go after over a decade. I still actually have some points on my account, I'd better spend them soon

In all seriousness, I’m rather sad to see it go. I had a lot of fun back when it was my only way of playing old Mario games (never got an emulator because I didn’t know where to look).
