You do need to have a paid account to actually access any of the content, but without one you’re still able to browse through all of the movies and shows to salivate over what you’re missing, and then convince yourself to buy a subscription.
Or, hey, you could always get one of those “free trial” things. That’s a great way to try something for free!

The more I think about it, the more amazed I am at how many amazing new Wii U games we’ll be getting over the coming months. The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, Wii Fit U… the list just goes on! And that’s not even talking about what’s coming next holiday! My guess is the next Smash Bros.…
