If you do have official connections with Nintendo, Inc, what is their official stance on adding Adobe Flash player to the Wii U console?  I love the fact that I can use the Wii U controller to browse the web and play some Wii U games while watching something else on my television. However, i have many problems when it comes to watching videos on the Wii U browser when they require Flash. Including watching the Olympics recently on NBCs website. Please tell me they are considering an update that will install this program!!!

Flash is old and outdated unfortunately Most browsers are starting to switch towards HTML5 nowadays. Maybe the site that you need will consider moving to HTML5 It wouldn't make much sense for Nintendo to move backwards instead of actually evolve. Am I Right? XD

 

Hope it helped

Flash is dead get over it get used to HTML5

[Dunkeroos]

Yeah HTML is better cause my uncle taught me and also flash is too hard for me to learn btw I got internet a week ago for the first time. This internet chatting this about Nintendo is cool

Its not up to nintendo. The reason why flash is not coming to many new devices like wii u, is because adobe is winding down work on flash.

Our official stance on Adobe Flash, or any other browser plugins, is that we will not support them.
We have included advanced HTML5 tags, and JavaScript in our NetFront browser, which allows many of the same user-interaction.

If you are a developer, we also offer Web Framework, which is an official webSDK for our Browser, and the Wii U.
We can point you to tutorials to learn Canvas elements and JavaScript if you desire.

If you're simply a user, most likely the websites you currently use will migrate over time, the problems with Adobe Flash have been documented for years, and 99% of websites will make the switch to HTML5 when they have invested the time and effort to do so.

Flash is dead, you will never have a flash plugin on the Wii U.
