Report: YouTube launches on Nintendo Switch next week
UPDATE 8/11/18: Reports recently surfaced that Switch would finally receive a long-requested YouTube app this week. And guess what? Nintendo has now confirmed that the app is a thing that's actually real.
Those with a hankering for some YouTube action - and indeed the sunny visages of Eurogamer's video team - on their hybrid gaming device can now download the app (weighing in at exactly 89MB) from the eShop. However, at the time of writing, it hasn't appeared on Nintendo's Recent Releases listing, so you might need to do a manual search for 'YouTube'.
Having played around with the app for all of 90 seconds, I'm pleased to report that search and navigation is (unsurprisingly) a considerably less laggy affair on Switch compared to YouTube's previous offerings on Nintendo's consoles. Discerning fans of home screen icon aesthetics may be slightly less pleased, however.
