1. Video Streaming Apps

The Wii U has better video streaming capabilities than the Nintendo Switch as of right now.

Just let that sink in for a moment.

It doesn't matter whether it's solely Netflix, or even starts with CrunchyRoll. The Nintendo Switch has the chance to become the defacto mobile streaming device for video - not least because of the portability of the machine, the kickstand and the glorious screen. (Seriously just put it next to a Wii U for video and you'll see what's up.) AND the swift operating system with a better touchscreen...

There are so many services out there that it's simply baffling as to why Nintendo haven't given the green light. Amazon Video. The BBC iPlayer! Even Disney will enter the video streaming arena come 2019 if reports are to believed. There are claims that Netflix has its Nintendo Switch app ready - it's just waiting for the signal from the Japanese giant.

Perhaps Nintendo is waiting to announce its pricing strategy for Nintendo Switch Online and will offer video streaming behind its own paywall. Who knows? All I know is, Nintendo fans deserve to know!
