The switch has been a thing longer than trump was president. After more than four years, the switch only has Hulu, YouTube, and crunchy roll. Thats it. No Netflix.

for four years people have been telling me its Netflixs fault!

okay so wheres prime? Or hbo max? Or disney plus?

the switch isnt supposed to be something you watch something on, its a video game system!

okay, so why is Hulu and YouTube and crunchy roll on there?

watch Netflix on something else!

oh okay Ill watch it on my other entirely portable console oh wait that isnt a thing.
use your phone!
but the switchs screen is the perfect size to watch shit. The phone is too tiny.

this has been my ted talk on why wont the switch get other streaming applications? The answer: idk

youre welcome for coming

I'm not all that concerned with the lack of Netflix on the Switch. I guess because I ended my subscription to it long ago. I can see why people are annoyed by it, though.

What DOES concern me is that we are four years into its lifecycle, and we still don't have any more themes aside from the basic white and black ones, no folders, and no way to sort/organize the games on the menu. This is jarring because their previous consoles--the Wii, the 3DS, and the Wii U--all had most if not all of those functionalities.

Also, I can't recall the last time they added any more profile pictures, but I'm sure it's been a long while.

Don't worry. We'll be able to make our own Switch games soon enough.

Honestly, streaming services are literally everywhere under the sun nowadays except the switch. I can't really think of a situation where I'd rather watch them on my Switch as opposed to just my TV or phone.

I would have cared about this 15 years ago.
Nowadays I have Netflix on my PC, tablet, phone, and TV so I really don't give a shit.

The switch has more games than the PlayStation whatever or the Xbox whatever. Obviously I want more, but I got stuff to play on it.

Yeah? Streaming is completely different than games.

This reminds me of the people who'd complain about no DVD playback on the Wii. You've surely got at least half a dozen devices that can do this already.

Still no Bluetooth headphones, either, unless you want to pay more money.

You can get a cheap ass tablet to stream Netflix on. Nobody gives a shit about it on the Switch.

This. Kinda felt the same about the Wii not being able to play DVDs

Yeah, that was just as bad. Here, every other console can do this, and this console has the ability to do this, but were not gonna let you do it.

why

Then why does it have Hulu and crunchy roll and youtube?
