Nintendo to Shut Down Streaming Video For Wii In January

San Francisco: US-based media services giant Netflix has emailed its users that Nintendo was going to “suspend Netflix” and other streaming video services on the Wii after January 31, 2019. The Wii, also known as the Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released in November 2006. “Netflix’s notification indicated that Nintendo will suspend all streaming services for the device, and that presumably means that Amazon Prime and Hulu also won’t be able to be used on the console. “It makes a bit of sense, given the age of the device — the Wii was sold between 2005 and 2011, before streaming video really took off with consumers, and before services like Hulu and Amazon Prime were launched,” The Verge reported on Sunday.
