theres riiconnect24 and ppl are playing mkwii on homebrew servers so yes and no, it really depends on what you use it for

The Wii Homebrew community is certainly not dead. I still fiddle around with it, making some weird homebrew for it. Otherwise, the community supports most of the homebrew that already exists. For example CFG USB Loader, Nintendont, etc. There's still a lot of homebrew, sure some developers have moved on. But, the Wii will most likely survive a few more years in the community of homebrew, and then will die. Homebrew has done very well, and is one of the most successful systems to receive it! Some people have mentioned that GameCube homebrew is still alive as well, so the Wii's life is being far more extended than when Nintendo pulled the plug; that's the wonders of hacking. Now, people are all like "The Wii U IS DEAD!"~ Actually, look at the Wii; is that not any proof that the Wii U will survive for a long time, even though it wasn't a very successful console!?

RetroArch still has updates for Wii. Same for Nintendont.

Many of us will be happy to recompile anything old that's not working properly anymore, too, if possible.

Long live the Wii~

To me, it seems like Wii homebrew isn't dead yet, but with the switch out, people will probably be focused on finding exploits for that, instead of older consoles.

The Wii itself is kind of dead, so...

Nope, 500 players of Black Ops Wii per day, so, not quite dead yet.

How's that calculated?

The Switch is having lots of cons, and the controllers bend from the screen, and get stuck a lot...
The Switch is having a great time! look!

I play it. 300-600 players online a day.

That's actually pretty cool.

I know! People can play Black Ops Wii without a soft-modded/hacked wii!!! Somehow that game survived the Nintendo WFC Shutdown!

Somehow that game survived the Nintendo WFC Shutdown!

Is that even possible?! How do youbplay online without the WFC servers to do it on?!

Not all 3rd party games used "Nintendo"/Gamespy servers (although most that used independent servers died BEFORE the WFC)!

Well, it's not like the Wii needs more exploits - the final update can be hacked from zero to boot2 (if your model was made before late 2007) with no exploit game required

I mean Wiimmfi and RiiConnect24 are still active and trying to bring back functionality to the Wii.
