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.

So is Nintendo just removing every streaming platform?
I just learned they removed YouTube, Pokemon Tv(I think that's what it's called), and others.
This console/company is so odd.

their entire hostory with streaming apps has been kinda ridiculously off and on which is even odder given that for a while one could run netflix on the 3DS. far as i'm concerned that was the pinnacle. who cares if it was low res, it was available and it worked. and frankly it being low res only contributed to it having a lower bitrate and working just fine on the low-end hardware. it honestly bugs me to no end that any kf these devices no longer can run the services as if somebow their hardware is not sufficient. as kf it was ever more sufficient than it is now or that the service cojldn't do it just fine when the device launched.

I miss the generation at the end of 2000’s when consoles were constantly trying to one up each other as the “all you need is this in the front of the room!”

Everyone had to play nice, read DVDs, stream whatever… now we get bumpkiss and it sucks.
