Those of you who have booted up your Wii console recently and have ventured over to the YouTube application will have noticed that there’s a message once you boot it stating that “This device will no longer be compatible with the YouTube platform starting June 30th. For a list of compatible devices visit the YouTube help website.” Sadly, I would think there’s still quite a few people who own Wii consoles who still use its applications such as Netflix and YouTube on a fairly regular basis.
Wii YouTube Support Will Cease On June 30th
I have a Wii in my room that is basically my Netflix machine for when I go to sleep. I really hope they don’t drop Netflix support 😫
Ok, now I’m done. I am officially done. I am n longer a Nintendo fan. I thought Nintendo was finally learning, but ten they do this! This is an outrage and the worst move that Nintendo has ever made. I am offended. If EA can release some sports game on the Wii but not the Wii U, why can’t Nintendo respect me and my people?
???
Not that i agree when it comes to Nintendo and their policies, but this is not their fault. This is all on Youtube/Google. They own the app and they have the right stop supporting a device if it is not profitable.
Take your trolling elsewhere.
It’s happening. Nintendo is closing in on everything people enjoy. First YouTube on Wii, then the Wii U, then the internet browsers on the Wii and Wii U.
All of this for a PAID internet connection on a system that has no pad to type characters on.
Google is closing down Youtube for Wii not Nintendo
lol wat
What? Nintendo has no control over this. This is Google’s decision.
only use Wii to play CTGP-R
Lol I’m not entirely sure if the commenters here are serious or just being sarcastic, but who actually fires up their Wii to use the Youtube app?
lmao i do..and my little brother cause it makes him shut up when he cant have my mums phone
Typically I just use my Wii to play games, and that’s what video game consoles are supposed to be used for, isn’t it? Of course, I just use the Wii Mode on my Wii U, I don’t actually use my Wii anymore. Who uses Wii Mode on their Wii U?
Big deal, get a Firestick you have your youtube. And can still play your 11year old Wii. That’s the trick.
Grunty! Rhymes! So much blasphemy!
Who the fuck uses the wii to watch youtube in low quality.
its not actually in bad quality though..just saying
Hopefully this means the Switch will get YouTube
Could this mean youtube for switch?~
Why would it mean that?
I hope you right my little Electrode Pokemon ball, the Switch needs Netflix, Kodi and youtube and all.
