Nico Nico before Netflix?
I'm hoping for that, as well. Also Twitch.

I'll take the standard video apps. Holding out hope for Rainway, but they're not saying whether the app was approved by Nintendo or not so I have enough doubts. Is there any word on what's actually on the table or being worked on?

Netflix on the go would be really cool given that it has a little stand.
would need to connect to a wifi spot no?

Nintendo owning stock in Niconico probably has something to do with that.
I can't wait for Microsoft Word for the Switch.

Netflix requires an internet connection, yes...
However the mobile versions now have the option to download certain shows/movies to watch offline. Hopefully switch gets that feature. Really looking forward to being able to use the switch as a casual tablet as well as for games.

No surprise Japan gets taken care of before everyone else...
Ah this I didn't know.
Wish I knew what was going on here.
That's a dog being shown that he's a good boy.
Niconico is a Twitch/Youtube like site, but with chat superimposed real-isa time on the video.
It's like Youtube but in Japan. I remember you have to pay for a premium account to skip forward in a video or something, otherwise you have to wait for the video to reach the part you want to watch.
I don't know if it's still like that but if it is, I can't believe such a trash service still exists.

I think Nintendo has a financial stake in Nico Nico, so that would be correct. Not to mention that Nintendo won't be developing those apps.

Finally! I really feel like this will be able to replicate like 75% of general tablet use once it has Netflix, YouTube and a web browser. That'll really help it's holiday sales potential (not that it needs it at this point).
So basically bring back Miiverse?
It's a Japanese produced console, man. Of course they will focus on the mainland before going nationwide.

It's also a lot easier to coordinate a nationwide streaming app first than a global app.
I don't know about that.
Remember when NoA focused so hard on TVii for Wii U before launch?

Every NNID account works as it's own account on NicoNico BTW, so there might be some content to watch on there if you decide to use it. I think Nintendo owns part of the site, don't remember why they had a thing going on.

So you can set up a Japan profile and download this from any region's e-shop?
Would you have to navigate a Japanese language menu to set up a Nico nico account?

Well, it's a start. Once Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll, and hopefully Twitch and Rainway make it, the Switch will actually be a pretty competent tablet. It's already one of the most powerful on the market right now, plus it has the added benefit of an out-of the box TV out.
