Can You Play Movies on the Wii?

No DVD/Blu-ray playback. Wii lacks the drive and licenses.

Video Options on Wii

• Streaming Apps (Defunct): Netflix, Hulu, YouTube apps removed; Wii Shop closed (2019).
• Homebrew: WiiMC, MPlayer CE play videos from SD/USB (requires modding).
• Wii U / Switch: Modern Nintendo consoles have working streaming apps.

Best: Use a smart TV, Roku, Fire Stick, Chromecast, or game console (PS4/5, Xbox One/Series) for movies.
