I don't think the Wii U had any problems with Netflix or Hulu? I'm pretty sure YouTube was fine as well. Even if they did they can be easily patched with a firmware update/application update.

YT, yes, but Netflix and Amazon Prime? I still think it's BS, but whatever.

the switch utilizes an ARM processor, ARM is not the safest platform, wii u was powerpc which is more secure (the wii exploits were all due to nintendo being complete idiots leaving open doors everywhere).
so they most likely are trying to limit the amount of risks as much as possible by leaving out apps that don't have much to do with the focus of the system (gaming, not media) or testing extra hard (taking much more time) to not leave any door open.

wonder if they fixed the hijacking of the app to watch "less desirable" tube sites remember that on the 3ds?

So at this rate, Netflix and Prime Video will take another five years. Oh joy.

It's about time.

This feels really redundant considering the proliferation of smartphones.

Say all you want, but people are still hyped about Youtube being on Switch.

Nothing on internet

That's nice and all, but I'm waiting more for Netflix.

The Switch needs an revision, just so the os can do more things.

I mean having to close a game just to open an app is not cool!

But if we get integrated we can do two things!

I can finally watch YouTube Poop while pooping without my phone.

 

[MasterJ360]

so whats the highest playback resolution 720p? I guess this is nice if you don't use your phone much

 

[Song of storms]

This feels really redundant considering the proliferation of smartphones.

My phone's screen is 5 inches, my Switch is 6. I'd rather watch a video in 720p with an inch bigger than watching it in 1080p on a smaller screen.

and you think its also a waste to have native voice chat in games because you have a phone correct?

 

[AkitoUF]

youtube's TOS has been changed, enjoy this one on switch with full of ads.



dude, there's one thing called HDMI Hub, it allows you to plug multiple device at same port, then just press a button to switch signal.

Nice, didn't know about that. Will try getting one soon then.

 

[PalindromicBreadLoaf]

Now we just need Twitch, Netflix and Pornhub, and we're good to go!

Er, not that last one, but we need Prime Video too.

The Homebrew community will have Pornhub eventually. Just wait.

I honestly don't understand what point you're attempting to make.
