Reggie has offered some words of comfort for Switch owners who are missing out on Netflix, Hulu, and other popular apps for the Switch, but I am curious how many Nintendo fans truly care about this. It seems embarrassing not to support additional services on a modern console, but at the same time, this is basically a portable system that will probably be paired with a smartphone much better equipped for non-gaming, streaming activities. Some of you may also find this 12-minute video of console lemons interesting.
While the Nintendo Switch has seen generally positive reception from critics and the marketplace so far, many have noticed that the tablet-like system doesn't do much besides play games. Web browsing, social media, video streaming, music, and other apps that are practically required for any Internet-connected device these days are nowhere to be found on the Switch as of yet. Nintendo doesn't want that situation to last long, though. In a recent interview with The Washington Post, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime says that, while gaming will always be the focus, the company is looking into non-gaming features for the Switch down the line.
