Amazon Prime Video will no longer be supported on the Wii U after this September

Dr.Hacknik · Jul 25, 2019

Am I the only one who'd stream YouTube, Netflix or Crunchyroll on my Wii U a while back because it was the only thing I had to do it?
No?

Must just be me then... :c

Has there ever been one?

Yes, and almost. There was Netflix app for PSVita but discontinued and it was only available in US. And the app that should have support for .mkv formats has been canceled thanks to ungratefull assholes.

It’s the beginning of the end, my friends.

Funny enough it’s still supported on the PS3, lmao.

Amazon = Sony shills, VERIFIED!

I used to stream those on the Wii u until Netflix removed Adventure Time and Youtube got worse on the switch. Thats when I stopped using the Wii u for streaming stuff unless I had no choice.

oh no

IncredulousP · Jul 25, 2019

I used it a long time ago, I guess that doen't count for the $25 off as I didn't get the email

Man, Nintendo really wants to bury this system fast...

weatMod · Jul 26, 2019

does anyone actually use prime video?
i have prime and i think i tried to use it once, literally nothing is free anyways
and the interface is just as shitty as every other Amazon interface
doesn't everyone just use ad free patched streaming .APK's these days like cinema tea TV and cyberflix etc. or whatever the latest terrarium clones is this week
i barely use those either because 99% of what hollywood has shat out for the last 15 years has been new ghost busters tier garbage anyways

i am looking forward to the ew season of Mr. Robot and the new creepshow series though

I didn't know it was there until I saw the news. What in the world?

Meanwhile, Hackers does what Nintendon't: Bring netflix to switch....with Android!

Watching movies is the only thing I still use my Wii U for, why do they always cut support for older consoles? Like I get not giving it updates, but it's literally just the same files being looked at on a wrapper for a different console so why would they disable the service?

osaka35 · Jul 26, 2019

What an odd choice. But I'll take 25$.

When my Wii U was stolen from my garage I was kind of relieved.

Captain_N · Jul 26, 2019

What's a Wii U? I think it was a console that was forgotten.

Oh darn. Looks like I'll have to go back to using my 15 year old Dell Pentium 4 with GT-440 to watch 1080p Amazon Prime video from now on. I hate when newish services are discontinued on newish devices.

And where the fuck were you when Windows XP came out

I remember running the beta of Windows XP. It was called Windows Whistler. 2001. By then there was already a GBA emulator but it ran in DOS.

I wish I had a Wii U when it was new, seems like it has a lot of great games.

I remember some of the early GBA Emulators could emulate GBA tech demo's before the GBA was even released, pretty crazy times. Not sure any of them were for Dos though.

No$GMB is the Dos emulator i remember, you could click left mouse and it would emulate a second GameBoy so Pokemon could be traded. Myself, brother and some friends spent hours playing a badly translated version of Pokemon Gold well over a year before it was released here.

Realy no joke.
Until I got an Xbox one 2 years ago I watched Netflix and Amazon video on my wiiu.

The performance was shit. The menus were lagging like it was running on toaster.

it WAS running on a toaster

I don't care about Wii U. It was so ugly console I ever seen. I guess I will play some of them on Cemu instead. I am good.

Really? Then you have...

Really, I thought the Wii U looked quite sleek. It was a long, narrow console but once you put it under your TV you can't notice that. It's very reasonably sized otherwise (comparable to my Wii) and I can't really see where you're coming from if you're saying it looks worse than all of the above.
