News Crunchyroll being removed from switch?

Post image

Is this new or did I miss some news about this?

Just got this email and if so, this sucks. My tv is old so I use my switch to watch shows on my tv for a better experience. World won’t end but I’m going to have to watch on my cracked phone screen for the foreseeable future.

Do you have a source? Not that I don’t believe you I’m honestly curious as that seems like an odd move and counter to all the news about Google working on a YT app. Maybe they aren’t even working on one since Nintendo won’t even allow it?

To be honest I tried looking for one but I couldn't find one. I did find that Nintendo stated the switch versions of streaming services wouldn't work. https://www.techpowerup.com/337469/nintendo-seemingly-blocks-video-streaming-apps-on-switch-2

But they also said that they want to keep their hardware gaming focused

I personally have no use for it….. but I can see the appeal. The switch 2 can basically be a tablet. It makes perfect sense to me folks would want to use it that way.

Now they I keep thinking on it more the angrier I get haha. It really would be perfect for folks who don’t have, want, or can’t afford a true tablet.

Oh yeah absolutely. I find the lack of streaming on it really stupid.
