Netflix still isn't on the Nintendo Switch, but at the very least, media consumers will be able to get their anime streaming fix with a new app that's just launched on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Crunchyroll, the anime-centered service, can now be enjoyed on your Switch, in both handheld and docked form. Offering currently airing shows like Attack on Titan Final Season, or completed shows such as Fate/stay Night, Crunchyroll allows you to stream anime for free, with the caveat of ads. There are also premium plans that start at $7.99 a month if you want to browse the full library of shows, both subbed and dubbed, with no interruptions.

Crunchyroll joins the likes of Hulu, Funimation, and YouTube, in terms of media streaming applications available on Nintendo's latest console. Netflix still lacks a release, which some have found irksome, given the streaming giant having previously released apps on both the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U.

Well too bad I just stopped subbing to them :/ Took them WAY too long imho

Pleasant surprise that you can download videos onto the Switch. Seems ideal for train journeys and such.

I'd like to sub on Crunchyroll but they only offer like what 1% of their catalog from where I live.

Still waiting on Disney+ here...

 

[Flaire]

Took them long enough now I can save my phone battery on the trains lol.

Of course, the unlikely reason Netflix isn't on is because they are still sore about the Live Action Zelda project that getting leaked.

A new generation of soon to be weebs

 

[Valwinz]

now you can watch badly dub and subbed anime on the switch

 

[eyeliner]

Isn't this service owned by Sony?
Maybe Disney+ isn't on the Switch because of that weird drm they have?

 

[MasterJ360]

Erm... so that means we can get a cracked version just like on the jailbroken ps4

 

[RedoLane]

'member when you could watch Netflix on your Wii?

This is why you need today's sponsor, TempVPN. TempVPN will temporarily keep your hacking history private, until Nintendo reveals they can see right through it in a ban wave!

Crunchyroll is so slow app, I tried it on TV and it was hanging a lot, the PC app interface is horrible as well, they had a great collection but the bad performance made me canceling my subscription.

it has been five fucking years

it has been five fucking years

Remember how long it took them to put the official YouTube app on the Wii? The Wii U had already launched, and the Wii was already dead when it released. And it crashed if you even looked at it wrong. It was very unusable in that sense.

@Chary
I have the premium services which allows me to read their manga on mobile too
Can i read their manga on switch too?

 

[DJPlace]

more apps the switch does not need.

 

[BitMasterPlus]

Or you could stream the anime for free on other websites and not from this shit service at all.
