Nintendo has announced that it will be dropping the ability to watch Netflix from its older consoles Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Wii U from June 30, 2021.
As spotted by Nintendo Life, the Nintendo US support website confirms that the apps were removed from the Nintendo eShop on both consoles on December 31, although existing users can still download the apps should they need to. However, from the end of June it will become impossible to watch Netflix on either system.
It’s certainly a shame if nothing else, with the streaming giant making big strides into video game inspired content of late, including the very successful The Witcher series and projects based on Resident Evil and Assassin’s Creed both in the works to name but a few.
