Hacking New firmware coming out soon... with Youtube, Netflix support

[huma_dawii]

How can Nintendo add Youtube and Netflix without an updated firmware?

By adding them to the eShop? lol

Oh Yeah that eshop thingy, I forgot about that... haven't used that since last year.

believe it or not we've gotten software in the past without updating the console
turns out the nintendo switch has a secret functionality enabled that permits downloading of content onto the device to use it
this functionality isn't even tied to the system software, if you can believe it

So Nintendo sideloaded stuff into the system eh? If they smuggled things into their system it's ok but if other devs did it they would be banned.

Are you really that bored with your life that you gotta come here and troll. Pretty sure you're the same person that was posting that they had SX Pro already. Could a mod lock this topic and preferably suspend this idiot?

You wouldn't be here if you're not bored. We are all bored waiting... like Jack Sparrow waiting to drink those rum he downloaded.

It's almost mind boggling Nintendo still doesn't support video streaming especially on a portable console

 

[rad.i.kal]

Side load or not, it is just something they can upload to the eShop. If it needs extra capability it coulda been put in a while back with hulu, there could also be an updated, who knows.

Netflix and chill whilst docked or undocked. Has a ring to it..

i
i'm not a hundred percent certain you're kidding and that's worrying
just in case;
If it does release, it'll be an app on the Nintendo E-Shop like it is on every other console. It will not be hardloaded into the console or packaged with it.

People on Nintendo E3 chat on gamespot are saying walmart canada leaked youtube and netflix on the switch as well just like bustbuy. I think there may be some truth to it now.

>removes browser due to history as an exploit
>removes themes due to history as an exploit
Does this mean Nintendo will stop supporting 3rd party retailers?

That's already how I get internet when not at the folks home. Wifi tethering is a gift from the gods! (and thank christ I have unlimited 4G with no tethering restrictions!)

Me too kinda but after 25gb they cut my speed so no use in me trying to use it for the switch.

they might as well give up, we have access to their system already

Oh man, can't wait to watch half a movie on the switch.

 

[Dvdxploitr]

There is no need to update firmware JUST for NetFlix and other streaming apps. Just add the apps to the eShop.

Oh man, can't wait to watch half a movie on the switch.

Even with a resource-heavy game, like BotW, you can get 3 hours of battery life (which is already plenty enough to watch a film). And video streaming isn't resource-heavy at all, so you could probably get at least double that.
