Netflix has confirmed via the official Nintendo support page that they have discontinued updating the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U apps. The Netflix app was removed the eShop on December 2021, however if you had the app installed updates were provided, but as of now it has been discontinued. I’m not sure how many people were using Netflix on their Wii U console or Nintendo 3DS, but I would imagine it was a fairly low number, however, I could be completely wrong. Sadly there’s still no news of a Netflix app for the Switch.
The Netflix app was removed from Nintendo eShop on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS Family systems on Dec 31st, 2020 and discontinued on June 30th, 2021. Thank you for your support of these applications over the years.

And now the only reason is…. when will Nintendo allow them on Switch?
Now I can’t watch it anymore…
I no it sounds absurd, if you already have it downloaded it can play and still be heard
Let’s hope that Netflix reconsiders with the Big N and bring their app onto the New Nintendo Switch.
When will Netflix come to the Switch, yeat after year I wait as Gruntilda the one and only rhyming witch.
You hear that Pikachu, no more Netflix on Wii U.
This is fucked up.
Nintendo, stop being shits and give us Netflix in the Switch already, because not everyone has many options. Outside of smart TVs (at least mine anyway until some out-of-nowhere BS), the average budget laptop lags like hell. It’s not fun.
I doubt Nintendo is the reason there’s no app for it on Switch. I mean Hulu is on the Switch, I don’t think Nintendo will deny the more profitable Netflix
I mean their are other apps like Funimation, and etc so I don’t know what’s keeping Netflix out of the picture
I’m just glad that Netflix is built into my tv, and I also have my PS4 to rely on for other streaming services.
The Netflix app on my Samsung TV doesn’t work for some reason. The Wii U was my only way to watch Netflix on TV.
