Hi,
I was lucky enough to get a Nintendo Wii for Christmas from my wife.
I currently live in Qatar in the Middle East and have been trying to access the Wii Shopping Channel to get some classic virtual console games.
I am using a Wi-Fi connection and have followed the instructions that are on page 56 of the channels and settings manual.
It is finding the wireless access point, which is the same network that I use to connect to the internet with my PC. It then does a connection test, which says it succeeds in connecting.
It then offers to download the latest software. After a short wait it informs me that the latest software is already loaded.
When I go down and click on User Agreements (under Internet) it asks me if I want to use WiiConnect 24 and Wii Shop. I click on yes, it starts connecting then comes up with a message stating, "WiiConnect24 and Wii Shop Channel Services is not currently being offered".
I can't access the News or Weather channels either.
Am I doing something wrong or are the above services just not available in certain countries like Qatar?
Not sure whether it makes any difference but I have the American (NTSC Version)as opposed the the British PAL version.
If anyone can help I would be really grateful.
Thanks
