“#Alas, thy Nintendo 3DS will no longer be thy Netflix main driver<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n No! No no no no! No no, noooooo. NO. NO NO. NOOOOOO. I, simply, CANNOT. Comrades, I hate to have to tell you this, but you\u2019ll no longer be able to watch Netflix on your Nintendo 3DS from June 30.<\/p>\n

Give me a moment, I have to compose myself. Phew, that\u2019s a bit better, thanks.<\/p>\n

Yes, come Summer, Netflix will no longer work on the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. That means those long lockdown evenings of watching Adam Sandler on your tiny 3DS display will come to an end. No, I\u2019m not ready either, but all good things must end. We shall get through this together.<\/p>\n

According to Nintendo<\/a> (I SHALL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR ALLOWING THIS), the Netflix software for the 3DS and Wii U was removed from the company\u2019s app<\/a> store on December 31.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re lucky (nay, blessed) enough to still have it on your Nintendo 3DS, cherish it. Hold it tight each night. Whisper sweet nothings to it \u2014 for you only have a few months to watch\u00a0Tiger King<\/em> again on that shitty, shitty screen.<\/p>\n

<\/a>OH GOD THE NINTENDO 3DS IS TOO BEAUTIFUL THIS IS A CRIME!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is one bright spark though, one ray of hope: the fact that the superior Switch console has a Netflix app you can\u2026 Hold on, what\u2019s that? There\u2019s still no Netflix app for the Switch? But the console was released in March 2017? Almost three years ago? No, that can\u2019t be right?<\/p>\n

(Spoiler: there is no Netflix app for the Switch).<\/p>\n

Now the Nintendo 3DS is discontinued and we can no longer watch Netflix on it, surely now\u2019s the time to release a Switch version? I\u2019m not sure whether it\u2019s Netflix or Nintendo at fault here (probably the latter, considering its history of fiercely protecting its ecosystem), but this needs to change. And fast.<\/p>\n

Yes, we all have a few more beautiful months of squinting at that Nintendo 3DS screen, but after that delicious dalliance is over, what then? WHAT THEN? I dread to think of it.<\/p>\n
