Nintendo And Netflix Discontinuing Service On Wii U And 3DS

Nintendo removing service from its previous consoles is nothing new and with the massive success of the Switch, the removal of support and network options for the Wii U and 3DS was expected. Now Nintendo and Netflix are removing service on the Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo made an official statement:

Starting Dec 31st, 2020, the Netflix app will no longer be available for new users to download from Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console or Nintendo 3DS family of systems. During that time, it will be possible for existing users to re-download these applications. Service for existing users will continue until June 30th, 2021. Thank you to everyone who enjoyed Netflix on these platforms over the years.

With this free software, you can instantly watch TV shows and movies streaming from Netflix.

• For Netflix members, it's part of your unlimited streaming membership.
• Not a Netflix member? You can start a FREE trial today.
• Watch as often as you want. Whenever you want.
• Subscription required. Subject to availability in your region.

Even those with the application won't be able to use the service starting June 30th. There has been no option on the Switch at the moment but that could change in the future.
