Hulu is coming to Switch in the US today
Switch owners have been begging for media apps to come to the platform ever since the console launched, but despite Niconico coming to the Switch in Japan, Western users have been left in the dark as to when (or if) they’ll get them too.
That is, until today. As always, Nintendo of America issued its weekly Download Report, a listing of all the new games and apps coming to Nintendo platforms each week. In this week’s Download Report, however, was a glimpse of good things to come — Hulu, the popular US streaming service, is said to be launching on the Switch in the US later today.
There’s no information beyond this, and it might be a mistake, but the fact that it’s even listed tells us that other media apps like Netflix and YouTube can’t be too far away.
We’ll keep you updated as the story develops, but folks, get excited; binge time is just around the corner.
Not again. Xbox One all over again. Just let it be a gaming console.
nuts to that give me convenient netflix already connected to my tv
I must be the only person who doesn’t get excited or even want media apps on the Switch. I love the fact that it’s a gaming console with none of the bloat and that it has a snappy OS that lets me start a game within seconds. But eh, as long as they are their own apps and not tacked on to the OS then I don’t really care.
Haha and out come all the people who don’t care! You cannot please everyone IRL but you can’t please anyone on the internet!
The reason I brought it up is just because we had the Wii U before it which had everything else except for the consistent game pipeline. So no problem with it as long as it doesn’t affect the games. I just don’t really identify with people getting excited about these things since I have a laptop that connects to the TV anyway but each to their own.
