Considering the bitter failure of the Wii U and the age of the Nintendo 3DS, the announcement of the lowest number of people in 2021. However, the Japanese company recently announced that Netflix will no longer be accessible on any of its consoles, including Switch.
In January, Nintendo officially announced: “As of December 31, 2020, the Netflix utility will no longer be available for new users to download from the Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console or Nintendo 3DS family settings. At this point, existing users can re-download these applications. The service for existing users will continue until June 30, 2021. Thanks to everyone who has enjoyed using Netflix on these sites for many years. ”
Nintendo chooses to focus only on gaming
For fans of this highly popular console, such as its rivals Sony and the PlayStation 5 or the Microsoft and Xbox Series S, Nintendo’s position is hard to integrate. In fact, many people see the switch, and can enjoy sites like Netflix whether they are at home or on the go, for example in traffic.
It should also be noted that YouTube and Hulu are accessible on the Nintendo Switch, so it is difficult to understand why Netflix is not featured. As for the streaming company, this decision by Nintendo will not disrupt its operations and its growth in any way.
