I definitely used Netflix on Wii and Neflix on Wii U for years with non-smart TVs. It made sense for the Wii, I bet there was a lot of “Grandma, we can play bowling together when we are at your house and you can finally get Netflix streaming instead of the DVD service“ and similar reasoning. Nintendo doesn't need Netflix as a selling argument, the Switch is insanely popular without it.

For a short, wonderful time, I had a morning routine where I turned on my Wii and TV, made coffee, and then sat down with a cup and read the News Channel. While I personally couldn't care any less for this particular service on these particular devices, I can feel for people getting angry:ġ. We live in a time where products can get stripped of features remotely without even having to access them, because they rely on “services“.
