Nintendo Wii Gets Netflix Streaming Without Disc

Nintendo fans can all breathe a collective sigh of relief this week. Thanks to a new app, Wii owners will never have to deal with another disc for all of their Netflix streaming needs. The plucky little console is getting a new Netflix channel, which lets Wii owners streaming Watch Instantly videos directly to their TV sets through the console.

The announcement comes shortly after the introduction of a similar application for Sony’s PlayStation 3. An update to the Xbox 360 Netflix app is set to arrive later this fall. No word yet on when I’ll be able to watch movies on my Super Nintendo–I’ve been waiting for a special occasion to break out my special edition of The Wizard.

The Wii version, in the meantime, is free for Netflix subscribers.
