Switch 2 will not support streaming apps

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will not support streaming apps like Hulu and Crunchyroll, a departure from the original Switch's limited offerings. Nintendo's updated compatibility list confirms the absence of streaming apps on the Switch 2, focusing the console's functionality primarily on gaming. This decision aligns with Nintendo's historical emphasis on gaming over multimedia features. While the lack of streaming apps may surprise some, the Switch 2 will maintain backward compatibility with most original Switch games, with some requiring external Joy-Cons for specific features.
