Hulu Launches on Nintendo Switch

From PC Mag: Good news, Nintendo Switch owners: you can now stream Hulu.

Hulu on Thursday became the first US streaming service to debut on the hybrid console. The next time you fire up your Switch, you'll be able to download Hulu right from the Nintendo eShop and stream The Handmaid's Tale, This is Us, The Mindy Project, Fargo, or whatever else you like to watch on the service.

Hulu said the new app supports its traditional on-demand subscription plans as well as its new $39.99 Live TV service, which offers live and on-demand programming from more than 50 channels including ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, FX, Bravo, TNT, and A&E.

Meanwhile, the launch comes after Nintendo earlier this year hinted that streaming apps were on the way for Switch.

"We built the Nintendo Switch to be a world-class gaming device, meaning we want you first and foremost to play games on the system and have an incredibly fun experience," Nintendo America's Chief Operating Officer Reggie Fils-Aime told The Washington Post in March. "We're talking to a range of companies about other services, companies like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon—things that will come in time."
