Nintendo Wii To End Support For Netflix, Other Video Streaming Services After January 30
Here’s some bad news for those who still exclusively stream videos on their Nintendo Wii: You may have to find an alternative soon if you want to continue binge-watching your favorite Netflix shows.
According to The Verge, Netflix has informed its users that Nintendo will be shutting down all video streaming services for the console after January 30, 2019. This means that you only have until the end of January next year to watch Stranger Things and other Netflix videos on Wii.
“Wii is no longer supported,” Netflix announced. “Nintendo will suspend all video streaming services on Wii – including the Netflix Channel – after January 30, 2019.”
The Netflix notification said that Nintendo will suspend all streaming services for the device. This could mean that Wii owners may also no longer be able to stream Amazon Prime and Hulu videos on their console by next year.
