One of the weaknesses of the Nintendo Switch is the lack of video streaming platforms. Everything suggests that the situation will change very soon, as the Nintendo console is about to receive YouTube compatibility. According to rumours, many users visiting the Nintendo website have received a message that the YouTube application will arrive on 8 November.
YouTube at Nintendo Switch: Take advantage of the big screen
Without a doubt, the release of a YouTube version for Nintendo’s latest console could become one of the Switch’s most widespread features, especially when we consider it’s large touchscreen and convenient format make it a perfect device for playing YouTube videos.
In addition, consoles like the Nintendo 3DS or the Wii U have a native YouTube application, so the release of a version for the switch is by no means unusual. As most of us use YouTube on our smartphones or tablets and many young children don’t have access to these devices, but still, there’s no doubt that YouTube compatibility could add points to the switch.
Of course, it’s important to be careful with the information, as Nintendo hasn’t yet made a statement on the subject. But the information has temporarily appeared on their website, so everything indicates that it is only a matter of time. We look forward to Thursday 8 October when we can start enjoying YouTube on the Nintendo Switch.
