For those on the latest firmware, the Switch has little to offer in terms of multimedia entertainment. Currently limited to just the Hulu app (and the niconico app on the Japanese eShop), things may be about to change if Nintendo enthusiast NintendoHOME is to be believed. Claiming to have seen a notification of the app's arrival for the 8th of November, it spells hope for those wanting more than just a games system.

This should be taken with a reasonable degree of uncertainty, with images easy to fake and myself not being able to locate any further information. You can check out the translated tweet below, and find the original via the source link.

Rumour – The YouTube app is expected to arrive soon on Nintendo Switch, especially on November 8th if you believe the Nintendo America website.

Do you think it's real? Are you still waiting for Netflix before updating your Switch? Let us know below!

Just bring Opera again and we won't need 1000 apps for 1000 online services

 

[Vlaslega]

Sure hope it doesn't require Nintendo Online

That'd be a dumb move from Nintendo if it requires the subscribtion

It IS Nintendo we're talking about.

 

[Niels Van Son]

You're right

 

[Ninn]

Np, i am sure they will find a way to make it work without the subscribtion just like the Ps3/Ps4

 

[peteruk]

you just know they're gonna force nnid to use this, hope it's not the case obviously

 

[Meriadoc]

I hope we will be able to use it with 90dns

mmmh... exploit? when?

 

[smileyhead]

It definitely won't need a Nintendo Online subscription. It uses Google's own servers.

mmmh... exploit? when?

I doubt they'll make that mistake again.

 

[Deleted User]

mmmh... exploit? when?

they'll likely use the same version they have on the ps4, xbox one, smart TVs, etc, which is a custom application rather than a browser wrapper

Now can people stop crying about not having youtube.

theyll find something else to cry about
like web browser

 

[huma_dawii]

I rather have a Web browser so I can open youtube while playing a game.

But it's something, better than nothing.

ikr, when you will be stuck somewhere in a game...
It'll be annoying to save, close the game, open youtube, then close youtube, open the game, just to realise...
what did the playthrough said already???

It'll eventually be released, I'd guess.

We're just missing it now on microwaves, freezers and windows. lol

During the early days of 360's online membership, it was required to have an XBLG subscription but then Microsoft made it free for all users. As it should have always been.

YouTube is practically on every modern device nowadays and not currently being on the Switch isn't really a big deal.

It's really usefuI if you leave the switch attached to your main TV.

[Depravo]

This is great news because so few of us have a mobile device which runs Youtube.
