Best Answer

The Nintendo Wii U can play videos through applications such as YouTube, Hulu and Netflix (though paid subscription may be required).

However, the Nintendo Wii U will not read DVDs or Blu Ray Discs so you cannot use the Wii U as a DVD player

NO!

or rather.

It do depend a bit on what type of DVD player the Wii has got.

If you install HomeBrew Channel and the software (Homebrew again) for playing media, then you are supposed to be able to watch DVD films.

I can play music although I can not watch movies on our Wii back home here.

The DVD player rejects any DVD I put into it but I think this is more due to the internal software of the DVD player rather than the abilties of the Wii.

Regards.

I don't think so. If you don't trust me, you could check your Wii manual. Have fun on your Wii.

No, you can't. I think you are thinking of a Playstation, because I believe that is the system that you can watch movies on.
