Well, this streaming application released about 6 or 7 years ago on the console was the most important for all the US users of the console, unlike Netflix, Crunchyroll and YouTube that are for everyone.

Unfortunately, at the beginning of this year, Hulu announced that it would shut down Hulu Plus for Wii U by February 20, 2019, because they wanted to eliminate their support on older devices or before 2013.

In this thread we will know the reasons for closing Hulu Plus.

What was the reason for shut down this application on Wii U?

According to me, the closure of Hulu Plus for Wii U could be due to lack of update, and Hulu's own did not update the Wii U application for many years, as well as the lack of Hulu Plus update for Wii and the Channel Youtube for Wii, the logo shown on the banner of the Hulu Plus app for Wii U and we will show the current Hulu logo.

(Used by the application, too old and outdated, with light green and gray letters)

(Current logo used by Hulu at the moment, very updated and modern, with the white letters and with a ranse green background)
another reason could be due to the obsolence of the console, since we remember that it was discontinued at the beginning of 2017, due to the release of the Nintendo Switch console two months after the discontinuation of Wii U.

Can we recover and revive them?

Maybe not, but as with third-party services, as @smileyhead says, "there's no way to relive something like that" muchs thanks @smileyhead for your phrase, you're welcome.

The main question of the thread is:
  • Why was Hulu Plus shut down for Wii U?
Idk, Hulu probably didn't see the Wii U client profitable anymore, so they shut it down. Not an uncommon thing for services.

@NancyDS are you a guy or girl? The person in the TV’s reflection looks like a guy.

Too bad we don’t have Crunchyroll on the Switch. I’d actually use it if we had it.

Maybe Hulu probably did not update it for many years, this also happened with Hulu Plus for Wii and with the YouTube Channel for Wii (except the YouTube application for Wii U, which is updated), although the 2 applications and the 2 logos of those 2 applications have been updated over the years, so they closed Hulu Plus for Wii U.

The second question of the thread is:
  • Can it be recovered and revived?

My bad. I always thought he was a girl for some reason :wacko:
Probably because Nancy is a girl's name and he uses female avatars all the time.

No. It's a service. Everything is on their servers. If someone hacked their servers, not only would the exploit be patched really fast, they would get into legal trouble.

Saying “Shut down because it’s on an old device nobody cares about” would’ve been sufficient enough, lol. No need to go into a whole paragraph story.



Thanks smileyhead, without your contributions and wisdom we would’ve been clueless as to why Hulu is being shut down.


It says male thanks to me. I made NancyDS put male, lol. Before it said female. NancyDS was being very deceitful and not being a Good Samaritan. Shame Shame.
