How to Watch Netflix Movies on Your Wii

The Nintendo Wii can't play DVDs without a special converter, but if you have a Netflix subscription, you can connect your account to the Wii to watch the service's thousands of streaming videos. Offerings from Netflix include both current and classic TV shows, as well as movies. Nintendo recommends a 3.0-Mbps or higher Internet connection for watching DVD-quality videos.
