The Nintendo Switch: A Gaming Console with Limited App Support
Despite the availability of popular streaming apps like YouTube, Hulu, and Crunchyroll on its eShop, the Nintendo Switch is predominantly used for gaming. This reality is further solidified as the Twitch app is about to be removed from Nintendo's hybrid console.
Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga on Nintendo Switch
For those who enjoy gaming on the Nintendo Switch, the Air Combos in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a thrilling experience that makes players feel incredibly skilled.
Twitch App on Nintendo Switch: A Limited Experience
The official Twitch app made its debut on the Switch in 2021. However, it promised more than it delivered. Although the app's official page promised a flexible viewing experience for users to watch, follow, or interact with any broadcaster or channel live on Twitch, the reality was far from the promise.
Users of the Twitch app on the Switch could only watch content. Interactions such as viewing the chat, subscribing to streamers from the app, or streaming your gameplay were not possible. The app offered a stripped-down version of the Twitch experience, leading to its upcoming removal.
Removing the Twitch App from Nintendo Switch: Public Reaction
The news of the Twitch app's removal from the Nintendo Switch has been met with mixed reactions online. Some users admitted they were unaware of the app's existence on the Switch. Others, however, found occasional value in the app.
For example, some users found it convenient to throw a stream on their non-smart TV without having to swap their HDMI cable to a laptop. Others used the app frequently, as they didn't have a smart TV and enjoyed having something to watch in the evenings.
Future of App Support on Nintendo Consoles
Considering the iOS and Android versions of the Twitch app offer more functionality than the Switch version, its removal is not surprising. However, it does raise questions about the future of app support on Nintendo consoles. Here's hoping future Nintendo portables offer better app support for a more diverse entertainment experience.
