Here's the latest news on the status.

Basically, it's still alive, but in a very different form.

I dont understand this theres already a working wii homebrew browser whereas its the shop channel that was discontinued so why dont they just continue their original idea? as it was better
We understand where you're coming from, however, we have underestimated how big of a task restoring the Wii Shop Channel actually was, considering that development was barely active, it seemed better at the time to just use HBB for the mean time.

It should be easier now with the recent leaks of Wii‘s source code?

That is still yet to be looked at. If there is any new information I'll be sure to post it here as a reply, however, I'm fairly certain that Larsen and the rest of the team will be sticking to HBB while CompuCat works on HBAS for Wii.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
    BakerMan @ BakerMan: idk how hot of a take this is, but science as a subject sucks
