I have a not-so-relevant question

[rocky socket]

Streaming services like Netflix, is there a chance they will work on Wii U again?

[slim dagger]

absolutely not

sorry

that stuff is handled by netflix, not by nintendo network

and if you try to bypass netflix i assume theyd be even more litigious than even nintendo about it.

youtube though is different

since its free, setting something up as a homebrew app just for youtube videos should work

but also im. pretty sure youtube works fine in the wii u browser anyway. could be wrong tho

[fringe plover]

tis does not. however - YouTube is not handled by Nintendo Network. There is a plugin on the HBAppStore named GiveMiiYoutube that fixes YouTube, since it’s been discontinued on the WiiU

[slim dagger]

oh nice

cant really use your wii u as a media hub anymore (not like you could after tvii shuttered anyway) but you at least have uh. 480p youtube videos on the gamepad still

[fringe plover]

you can definitely use it as a YouTube hub for your TV, that’s what I’ve been doing (along with the occasional MK8 game and Minecraft 2 player world)

[tired plinth]

umm ackshually you were still able to use the wii u as a media hub until 2019 🤓

yeah, you just need to have the latest youtube app installed on your system
