There's nothing to miss there. Nintendo uses youtube links for videos now, and demos are available on their newer systems in a much more streamlined way.
I would miss news and weather, but after playing around with each of those a little, I sorta moved on to getting all my news and weather from my tellular cellophone.
"Some games" doesn't tell us too much. Are they shutting off online play in Smash Bros Brawl? That's the only game I have on my Wii with online play. Even then, I tended to play locally more often than not. Message exchange is being disabled? Does that mean I will lose the ability to send "gift" games to friends? That one's going to sting the most, until they bring that feature to the 3DS and Wii U (both notably lacking "gifting" at the moment).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
