Nintendo Switch gets its first streaming service today: Hulu

You'll finally be able to stream TV shows and movies on your Nintendo Switch starting today.

Hulu is coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop today, Nintendo revealed today in its Nintendo Download email, buried among a list of new games releasing between today and Nov. 14. Hulu confirmed in a blog post today that the app will be available on the eShop today.

The page for the Hulu app isn't available yet, but it is expected to go live later today when the Switch eShop updates.

The Hulu app will include regular Hulu services like the ability to watch specific shows, movies, and Hulu original series, as well as the ability to watch live TV channels like ESPN, CNN, and FX with Hulu Live TV.

Nintendo told The Washington Post in March — just days after the Switch's release — that the company was in talks with multiple video streaming services including Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon about bringing those services to the Switch. It appears that Hulu will be the first to make the move onto Nintendo's latest console.

Why, exactly, the other services aren't coming to the console at the same time is unknown. Nintendo did not immediately respond to our request for information on other streaming services coming to the Switch.

UPDATE: Nov. 9, 2017, 11:41 a.m. EST Hulu confirmed that the service will be available on the Nintendo Switch later today.
