Support NeoGAF

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I was hesitant to make this thread so please lock if this is not good enough of a source, but after not hearing anything regarding Netflix/Hulu/etc...I wanted to find out for myself.

Incredibly disappointing if true. We use the Wii U as our main media hub and was planning on doing so with the Switch.

holiday 2017 of course

 

[DecoReturns]

Sucks for some people.

But I use my Laptop or Smart TV for these apps so i'm not affected

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

It probably will, though.
If that's an HDCP problem just remember that Netflix is also available on Wii U.
Sooner or later Netflix will come to Switch for sure.

 

[TheGamingBox]

i dont think a online chat rep would know if its coming to netflix at launch or not

 

[moltonasty]

I'm sure it'll come after launch. I mean FFS the 3DS has Netflix lol

 

[HStallion]

Can you watch porn on it? Guess it would need to be in the dock for that.

 

[Lunaniem]

A service rep probably doesn't have the info yet about an app even if it's in dev elopement already.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

Lookin' like OBE1 had some legit sources.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Reads more like they don't want to develop until there's demand to do so.

But it's on goddamn every other device imaginable so there's no reason to think it won't come to Switch.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

I mean technically, "at this time" could be literally referring to the present moment. Not that I'd put anything past the Switch at this point in time but this isn't too smoking a gun to me.

 

[Ponn]

Its not out yet, of course they will say it doesn't support it at this time.

 

[BigK_201]

I have 3 or 4 devices that can play Netflix, and I'm guessing most people here do too. I'm fine with this not having it right away.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Reminds me of when the 3DS launched and didn't even have an eshop for a few months.

This thing is launching to early.

Hopefully by the holiday they get their shit together. They'll need to.

I really have no idea why people keep doing this.

 

[Hero]

You really think an online CSR is going to know this dude?

 

[Regiruler]

They like supporting literally anything that can run it.

I am not concerned.

 

[LakeEarth]

I'm sure they will. Maybe not launch, but I'd bet soon after. Netflix is pretty good at making sure their app is on every device people would want it on.

 

[jackmurray]

no webchat employee is a credible source, we are told nothing

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Does this really matter in 2017 though? Are there not already enough ways to watch Netflix?

 

[lobdale]

At this time, there is no Switch.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Its not out yet, of course they will say it doesn't support it at this time.

nail on head

 

[DecoReturns]

Lookin' like OBE1 had some legit sources.

Someone in Gaf mentioned this long before he did.

I think it was vern? Forgot his username

 

[chaobreaker]

Chill out. They have 2 months to make an app.

 

[Kuro]

How is this guy going to know anything.

 

[Mrbob]

Usually I would say I don't care but as a portable device might be intriguing to use. Still I doubt customer service knows much about launch detail anyway.

 

[ModBot]

A customer service rep does not have the capacity to make a new announcement, so this does not tell us anything.
