Many are awaiting an announcement for more streaming applications on the Nintendo Switch. So far we’ve only got Hulu, and that’s only in North America. Even installing it through a different region account has no value as it just will not work.
The big one would without a doubt be Netflix, but the customer service account has replied to an eager fan to say that the company doesn’t have any plans for Netflix on Nintendo’s latest home console.
Hey there! There are currently no plans for Netflix on Nintendo Switch. We appreciate your feedback on it! *JF — Netflix CS (@Netflixhelps) January 14, 2018
Whoa there Netflix rep!
But Netflix jumped back on that pretty soon…
Correction: We are still exploring the opportunity with Nintendo, but don't have definitive plans to share at this time. The incorrect original tweet has been removed.

Would you like having Netflix on you Nintendo Switch? We personally don’t see the practical use for it. There are just so many devices (smartphone, tablet etc) which already offer this. Nintendo Switch could facilitate it but with what performance in regard to battery / watch time really.
One of the biggest advantages is the fact that the Nintendo Switch is portable. Having to drag along a powerbank or similiar because you want to watch Netflix on it … feels like a waste.
