Nintendo Wii loses Netflix in January

IF YOU ARE STILL When you watch Netflix on the Nintendo Wii, you only have 1,920 hours to watch the 34,739 hours of filming recorded on the platform. Then you will have to find equipment that may not have 12 years to fill up with packages.

In an email to its Wii subscribers, Netflix announced that the application would stop working after January 31, 2019. It's not just Netflix; "Nintendo will suspend all video streaming services on the Wii," according to the email. The word "suspend" seems a little misleading here, which implies that streaming can come back at a given moment. It's not right: it's dead. And that goes for Amazon Prime Video too.

"We hope you will soon enjoy an even better Netflix experience with additional features on a supported device," concludes the email.

Since the Wii can only produce 480p, it's hard to imagine a device in 2019 that could give you a * worse * experience. Most phones now have at least 720p on the screens, although we miss the use of the Wii Remote to navigate Netflix's favorite tyranny.

He also managed to avoid slipping Netflix's features while remaining under the radar. "The Wii app does not have annoying glimpses or music," commented a Redditor. "It allows you to navigate in peace and also displays the 5-star rating system." RIP. "

If you want to continue watching Netflix on Nintendo hardware, you have options, but strangely not the Nintendo switch, totally conquering. It may change soon, as YouTube has just been delivered to YouTube last week, but so far there is no Netflix.

Do not worry though: you can still squint Strange things on the screen of your 3DS 3.53in. Or, if you want to experience the big screen, you can still buy a Wii U console, where the Netflix app is still limping. Although this does not sound like a solid long-term strategy. μ
