As we already know, Nintendo returns to the list of the best brands in the world thanks to the Switch.

The latest confirmation of the success of the newest product from the Japanese factory has come with the Cyber Monday.

The Switch is the only product in the video game sector that has managed to get into the top five in the American Cyber Monday. The Fingerlings toy line leads the list of sales (both in physical stores and online) for the Cyber Monday across the United States. It is followed by L.O.L. Surprise!, Nintendo Switch console, Dell and Apple’s laptops (yes, they put them together in the same position), while on the fifth position, there is LG with its new TV sets.

Thanks to its hybrid video games console, Nintendo Switch, the company is the 99th best brand in the world, according to the ranking prepared by the brand consultancy Interbrand. It is, therefore, among the 100 most significant companies worldwide in 2018. The company that gave birth to Super Mario Bros and other popular games haven’t appeared in that list since 2014. Most likely, the Nintendo Switch console was the primary driver for the recent success Nintendo experienced.

In more details about the app, the YouTube application for Nintendo Switch requires just under 100 MB of space. Navigation is fully tactile on the console screen, with a resolution necessarily limited to 720p. As for the interface, there is no surprise as we find the same GUI as in the other YouTube apps.

In particular, they rely on the release of Super Smash Bros Ultimate which is scheduled to roll out on December 7th. On that occasion, Nintendo will offer a collector’s bundle, but players can also count on third-party manufacturers to provide various accessories.

YouTube To Come To Nintendo Switch Soon

As we speak, the only video streaming service available on Nintendo Switch is Hulu, and that’s not quite a feature appreciated by the console’s fans. Now, however, a new rumor says that YouTube would come to Nintendo Switch soon.

According to the guys on ResetEra, some hints pop up, indicating a YouTube app for Nintendo Switch pops up when users search for Nintendo’s website for games. Even though there is no product page linked to the before-mentioned app, many believe that those suggestions hint to an upcoming YouTube app on Nintendo Switch. Also, the same rumors popped up on a French site, Nintendo Home, where users reported they were getting YouTube app suggestions whenever they searched for Nintendo’s game site.

Hopefully, these rumors would turn out right, eventually, as the Japanese Nintendo Switch console lacks a reliable and popular game streaming service. If YouTube would indeed come on Nintendo Switch, that would be excellent.

YouTube To Come To Nintendo Switch Soon

When it came out in March 2017, Nintendo Switch launched with no streaming apps or options. Only in November 2017, roughly one year ago, Hulu streaming service rolled out for Nintendo Switch, while Niconico (a Japan-only streaming app) came out after Hulu. Besides, Netflix, the renowned video streaming service announced in January of this year that it’s in talks with Nintendo for adding Netflix to Nintendo Switch.

While Nintendo Switch is becoming more and more popular worldwide, it would need a popular streaming service to work with to fulfill the fans’ wishes.

As mentioned above, some rumors emerged in the US and France, too, saying that it is possible that a YouTube app to come to Nintendo Switch soon. That would be indeed excellent news for all the Nintendo Switch fans worldwide to get direct access to the world’s most popular streaming service.
