Technology has progressed quite a bit since 2011. It was the 12 months that noticed the discharge of each the unique 3DS and Wii Family Edition, whereas pill gross sales started to choose up following the stellar success of the primary iPad. Booting up Apple’s earliest pill – operating on iOS 5.1.1 no much less – yesterday, one person acquired a blast from the previous as they tried to load Netflix on the machine solely to be hit with a very un-Apple message.

Instead of the same old Apple error code, Twitter person @fcbunn discovered that the now-defunct Netflix app as a substitute prompted the next Wii Shop-based recommendation:

This disc is now not supported. To watch immediately, merely obtain Netflix from the Wii Shop Channel

Now, we will not declare to have any insider data of the interior workings of Apple’s helpline, however one thing tells us that taking your grievance to the Wii Shop Channel in all probability will not yield the streaming service consequence you might be after. This being stated, as a substitute of getting to tug your self by the ultimate 26-hour-apiece episodes of Stranger Things, you’d be handled to the Wii Shop’s jazzy beats – so each cloud, we guess.

Unfortunately, this Nintendo glitch was rapidly mounted, with Bunn at present tweeting that the error message had now been changed by a way more fruitful hyperlink to Netflix’s supported units. They additionally used the second to make a proper apology to the Netflix developer who had to return and amend the decade-old mistake.

People on Twitter had been fast to try to discover a purpose for the glitch, with theories starting from the units’ shared internet service to a very sturdy thread which claimed Bunn had edited the photograph for their very own acquire – as a result of there’s no manner {that a} machine operating 2011 software program might presumably slip up, proper?

Whatever the true purpose, we predict it is protected to say that if this error has made something sure, it is that the Wii Shop Channel music is as soon as once more caught firmly in our heads.
