These systems die a little bit every day

I’m one of the few weirdos who used devices like a 3DS or Wii U to play media sometimes. I mean, not so much anymore, but when the Wii U was in itsheydayfor example (I know what you’re thinking, “the Wii Uneverhad a heyday,” take that back!), and it was there, and hooked up, it didn’t hurt. Plus, think of all the kids who only have a 3DS and one family TV.

Well, those folks are going to be a bit sad as of this week, asNintendo has fully discontinued Netflix on both of those devices. As a reminder, Nintendo fully removed Netflix from the 3DS and Wii U eShops back on July 20, 2025 anyway, but now the apps will simply cease to function. There’s a lot of reasons for why someone may not want to continue to support an app, but in any case, they’re sunk now.

Again,I know someoneis going to be like “WHO USED THIS?!” The one person who did on each device will shed a tear reading that. I hope you’re happy.
