You Can Watch YouTube On Your Nintendo Switch

Why? I have a phone for that...

This is Nintendo and to tell you the truth i don't really care about youtube or any of this crap. Today's day and age everybody has a smart phone even the cheapest 50 bucks smart phone carry youtube and all that stuff. My two problems with Nintendo always been the lack of 3rd party support and my second problem is their stone age specs with their consoles. It seems every time a new Nintendo console comes out it always feel that is just a minor update of their previous console and not really a new console.

By the time Nintendo get to 4K we might already have 8K consoles already out. Next Nintendo console might not even be a 4K console and anyone who knows Nintendo know that they never do such jumps in technology like that and going from barely 1080P console to 4K one will be too much of a jump i'm sure that Nintendo will make a stop at 2K before they even think about a 4K console

I don't need it but I'll use it so... yeah this is a good thing in my eyes. Could use the smart phone or laptop but this will be a great option on planes, trains and in automobiles.

Well ok, thats .... irrelevant ? Everybody got an smartphone in their pocket

awesome news

Congrats ! Huge achievement !

WHOAH NO WAY. Something every other console including previous Nintendo consoles had!? What a value!

Finally. I have my xbox set up in my room but the switch set up in the living room. I can't tell you how many times I cursed Nintendo for not doing this sooner lol.

It's 2018, but that can be said for both sides of the argument. I'm sure some people really need it and oh my God it's 2018 how does this not have it, but personally I have 2 other things hooked up to my TV that can do Youtube and my TV itself which is several years old can also do Youtube. Actually if you count Chromecast, that's 3. Maybe it has a use for handheld? I mean I'm never without my phone when I"m out so even that's pretty weak, but the Switch has a kickstand built in and the slightly bigger screen is also a plus versus a phone.

ill get a switch when they release a new one with all of these ancient features included at launch. no netflix? just got youtube?? no thanks nintendo

I wonder how many people are going to be rude and use this in public places like planes or libraries. Which is why I'm opposed to the Switch being more than a gaming platform in the first place. I don't want to be on a plane and hear somebody playing a rap song with 500 f bombs a minute. Or trying to read a book while someone watches a Let's Play with an obnoxious streamer. You don't really need volume to enjoy most games. But you do need volume for YouTube.

That's the last thing I need on the Switch. My iPad (or any other tablet) does the job nicely...

Nice, it’s about time. Hopefully Twitch and Netflix aren’t too far behind.

Where's the Netflix app?

What? Wtf GameSpot? Article about YouTube with a video... about Smash?

finally, what the heck took so long?

Probably the last device I’d use to watch YouTube, but it’s all good.
