​

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!

Guys, Nintendo updates the eShop at 9 AM PST/12 PM EST every Thursday, give it some time...

Folders are not a bad idea, but Nintendo would never do it to please people with hacked switches

Well actually that’s exactly what they might do if they follow Apple’s path. Apple just copied every tweak ever made for their devices and it effectively killed jailbreaking forever.

Yeah, Apple did realy well with implementing many of the good Cydia Tweaks into the iOS directly.
I remember that I Jailbreaked my iPad2 the day it was possible to do so.
With my iPhone SE I don't see the need for it anymore. And I had many opportunities for a Jailbreak since I only update iOS if a App requires a newer version.

Leak was fake, no app and is the 8th xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Wait a few hours. The day isn't over yet.

Kick back and relax with @YouTube on your #NintendoSwitch. Enjoy entertainment like music videos and shows, plus gaming livestreams, how-to guides and much more. YouTube is now available to download from Nintendo #eShop.

Im not saying that they won't do it, I'm just saying that they wont do it just because a few people wan't to sort their unofficial emulators and their games.

If they do it they will most likely do it to please those who want to sort their official apps.
And it would make a lot of sense to put folder onto the switch if we'll ever get more apps like Youtube and Netflix on the system.

 

[Kioku]

Still waiting for Netflix and Twitch. ;c

Discord integration is a pipe dream, but would be fantastic.

 

[DCG]

Lol, one of the best days for a youtube release on the switch

 

[Deleted_444986]

Need nsp of it now

 

[Davidchao23]

Youtube on the Switch would be really convenient, mainly because my phone's battery is pretty clunky, battery dies a bit quicker than usual and powers off at different intervals. Glad it's out now so I don't have to rely on my Wii U to watch Youtube lol

 

[Essasetic]

Told you guys it was real. Enjoy

 

[peteruk]

FREE download on the eShop... so us banned bad boys will need to wait upon someone dumping it

Since no one has posted yet, this does NOT work on banned switches

 

[Brayton]

Just checked the games and apps available today.

YouTube is nowhere to be seen.

Either it's a fake leak, or Nintendo was found out, and they're delaying it.

Hahaha... wait.

Hahaha... wait.

Is not fair, it came out as soon as I left that comment

I found this reddit post interesting:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...tendo_switch_download_software_games/e9ay7w4/

Almost exactly 1 year since Hulu launched. This does give credence to the theory that Hulu paid for 1 year exclusive video rights.

Did you wait for 24-hours for time-zones?
