How to Install Netflix on Wii (softmodded) I just signed up for a 30 day Netflix.ca free trial. $8/mo thereafter. Load your WAD manager from the homebrew channel and use IOS249 for a new install. StartPatch or Preloader with hacks is required to run the out of region channels on your wii. Nintendo Wii WAD files are like a zip or cab file on PC that contain a full set of files for installing an.app (application, program, game). The main purpouse of Wii WAD files is to install custom made channels and cIOS, but they are also considered to be an equivalent of the ROM and ISO files majority of which are warez. To use the Netflix Channel, you need a Netflix account with unlimited streaming. When you first use the Netflix Channel, it will prompt you to enter a code provided by the channel into the Netflix website in order to pair the Wii with your account.
With the Nintendo Switch recently getting a YouTube app and people curious about when the console will get Netflix, it’s easy to forget that a previous Nintendo console included the ability to watch Netflix. That console? The original Wii.
Hey everyone, so I've got Netflix set up on both my PC and Apple TV and it seems to be working a charm. I'm really keen though to get it set up on the TV in my bedroom through my Wii as well. My Wii is hacked and I've installed the app in the form of a WAD file, but all I get after the title screen is a black screen.
Sadly, it looks like Nintendo is ending that functionality in the coming months.
According to emails sent out to some Netflix subscribers that stream through the Nintendo Wii, the service will come to an end in January 2019.
Unfortunately, Nintendo will suspend all video streaming services on Wii—including the Netflix Channel—after January 31, 2019. We hope you’ll soon enjoy an even better Netflix experience with additional features on a supported device. Please visit netflix.com/wii for our device list.
What does Netflix mean by an “an even better experience?”
While some people think that line is some sort of obscure hint to an upcoming Nintendo Switch Netflix app, that is most likely not the case. Instead, it is probably referring to the resolution that the 12-year-old console can provide.
With the Wii, the best streaming resolution you can get is 480p. On newer TVs, this resolution can be extremely off-putting and with streaming devices like Roku available for less than $100, upgrading your streaming device shouldn’t put too much of a strain on the wallet.
That being said, hopefully, Nintendo is still entertaining a Netflix app on its console, but time will tell on that.
Are you upset to hear about the Wii support being ended? Let us know in the comments below.

Forwarder ChannelsInstead of always launching WiiFlow from the HBC you can install a WiiFlow forwarder channel on your Wii system menu and launch directly from that channel. WiiFlow also requires the hidden forwarder to be installed in order for you to return to WiiFlow after launching a Plugin game, GC game, or Homebrew app. It is not required to return from Wii and WiiWare/VC. That is done by the cIOS. Use WiiFlow Channel Installer v1.1 by Fix94 to install these forwarders. It will detect Wii or vWii and install both the forwarder and the hidden forwarder. It can also uninstall them for you.
If you are not happy with the banner animation of the forwarder installed you can download the appropriate pack below to install the one you like with a wad manager like wiimod lite or YAWM_EN. The nine channels shown below are the first original 9 available. These 9 forwarder channels (minus the NihonFlow forwarder) are included in forwarder pack 1 below. Make sure to choose Wii for Wii or vWii for vWii. Each pack contains a wad file for each of the 8 channels. Use a wad manager to install the one you want. WiiFlow forwarders use the title ID 'DWFA' and use Fix94's v14b dol inside. All forwarders use IOS58 and disable AHBProt. Graphics and animations credit goes to the original authors Spayrosam, Mastershoes, JJ-Kwik, Jiiwah and Benjay. If we have not credited you, our apologies as we don't know who all the original creators are.
If you have or know where to download Nihonflow forwarder please let me know on GBAtemp. These are fixed to properly use patched AHBProt.
