The Disc Channel allows users to play disc-based Wii titles (and in some cases, Nintendo GameCube software) that is inserted into the Wii system’s disc drive.
I’m done making channels this afternoon, but requests are still open and I’ll continue later
In the meantime, here’s one of the most boring disc banners in the Wii’s library
Meet a new iteration of the Wii Sports series,

E3 is officially dead
'“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry,” the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close'
So I was bored today and decided to set my calendar back to 2010 just to see what happens. When I did that i noticed that the Wii Shoo Channel was displaying Advertisements for YouTube, Amazon video, Hulu plus, and Netflix again and I thought that was so weird. CONTINUED 1/2

It might be theoretically possible but it’d be tedious. Channel banners act more like PowerPoints than videos so you’d have to make an animation that overlays the frames like a GIF
It *seems* that Twitter is actually slightly functional again so lemme tell you that the Wii was going to have full DVD support, files are still on the Wii itself AND early Wii models are capable of running DVDs but Nintendo removed it to not pay any fees
And with that, we are officially out of space on the Wii Menu. The process of installing to the SD Card Menu will be different and I need to figure that out before I continue 👍
Requests are closed! I will not be accepting any new requests for several weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If you requested before this tweet, I’m working on adding you to the queue spreadsheet:
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD! MY LIFE ADVICE!
I TOLD YOU [Please insert a disc.] AND ASKED YOU [Wii Menu] OR [Start]!
I GAVE YOU MY [Channel Banner] FOR THE PRICE OF [Health and Safety Warning]!
AND THIS IS HOW YOU [Repay] ME!? TREATING ME LIKE [System Update]!?
NO, I GET IT! IT’S YOU AND THAT [Mr Bean 35000]!
YOU’VE BEEN [Making], HAVEN’T YOU!
YOU’VE BEEN MAKING [Content DMCA’d]!
AND NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SUPPLY, YOU DON’T NEED ME!!!
I WAS TOO [Trusting] TOO [Honest].
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A MAN OF THE [WiiWii]. A REAL [WiiWii] PERSON!
The people have spoken; I changed back from the gray small banner disc. Figured it made more sense but I won’t complain. Cleaned up my banner though, looked really crunchy
Good [period of day relative to your time zone] 👋
I’m in the process of compiling a spreadsheet of all the requests. I’m around 40% done with that. There’s a decent chance I’ll hit the 288 channel limit before I get to everyone and I’ll be taking a nice break when that happens.

The first and only fully custom channel I made until recently was a Minecraft: Wii Edition mockup on January 1st, 2020. Wiicraft, a client that allows you to connect to and play on 1.2.5 servers, was released one and a half months later.
Unfortunately, Wii Menu 4.4 will not be coming in 20XX as promised and is delayed to 4096. It just wouldn’t feel right to release an update this big without stable servers and proper bugfixing.
BYE!
BYE!
