Nintendo Switch won’t have Netflix or media functionality at launch

The Switch will be a “dedicated gaming platform”, and won’t launch with multimedia support, according to a report from Business Insider.

Which means the console won’t launch with support for popular streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, and YouTube. While this isn’t a huge deal — most of us have several ways of streaming online video — it would have been great if Nintendo incorporated these features like other consoles do.

At least Nintendo could have added Switch Netflix support — even the Wii U supports Netflix.
