You can now catch up on episodes of Naruto or Tokyo Revengers on your Switch while waiting for the subway. The anime streaming platform Crunchyroll today revealed an app for Nintendo’s handheld console.
Using your Nintendo Switch to watch movies is still a relatively new concept (and not for those who are already doing it suffer from eyestrain due to hours of gameplay), but one that takes off. There are currently Switch apps for Hulu, YouTube, Twitch Pokémon TV, and Funimation. It’s fair to say that given its popularity, we’ll likely see more entertainment on the Switch soon. Nearly 103 million units the Switch were sold worldwide, surpassing their predecessors Wii, Wii U, GameCube and Nintendo 64. Switch sales skyrocketed during the pandemic, leading to a global shortage carried over to 2022 and absurd price gouging.
The user base for Switch is substantial greater and more diverse than other gaming consoles (half of all Switch users are women and users usually are older). But there are far fewer streaming options on Switch than on other consoles, much to the displeasure of current owners.
While Crunchyroll is free, you have to buy one of them Premium Plans to stream shows on multiple devices or watch shows offline. Plans start at $7.99 per month.
