Netflix stops working on Nintendo Wii starting in January 2019

Sorry, Nintendo Wii users: the "Wii Sports" console is losing Netflix in January 2019.

More specifically, as of January 30, all online services for the Nintendo Wii will be sunset. No more Wii Shop Channel and Virtual Console for buying games, and no more streaming video services – including Netflix.

The service lasted just over eight years on the Nintendo Wii, having first arrived in 2010. It has become a hit on the Wii – a measure of the console's massive popularity at exactly the same time as Netflix were evolving video giants.

With over 100 million Nintendo Wii consoles sold as of 2016, the Wii is Nintendo's best selling home game console of all time. It's only best by the Game Boy and Nintendo DS – handheld consoles that cost less than the Wii.

For now, Netflix will continue to work on the Nintendo Wii. But do not worry too much about their impending closure. In 2018, Netflix runs on almost anything – from your smartphone to your very inexpensive Chromecast dongle.

Here's the full list from Netflix to get you started.
