It is indisputable that the console marked a before and after for its innovative proposal and for another series of characteristics that had not been seen so far in the rest of the platforms of the great N.
Among them were applications that gave access to different services, such as video streaming, see Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and CrunchyRoll . However, all of them have their days numbered after it was announced that Nintendo has made the decision to permanently cancel its services .
This movement will be effective as of January 30, 2019 . This is how Netflix has explained it in an official statement that it has published through its website:
Unfortunately, Nintendo will suspend all video streaming services on Wii, including Netflix, as of January 30, 2019.
At this point, it is not a great loss either, especially if we consider that Wii U continues to have these applications and little by little they are also being incorporated into Nintendo Switch , as we already verified yesterday after the YouTube application appeared by surprise. in the eShop. The question is, how long will it take for Netflix to reach Nintendo’s hybrid console? Of course, it is one of those that we have in our sights and that we consider to be essential.
