Nintendo switch will not have video on demand applications

We talk about the Nintendo Switch again and this time with information that most fans of the Japanese company will not like, the new console will not have video-on-demand applications like Netflix available, at least when it goes on sale.

Nintendo is focusing the maximum on making the Switch an excellent platform for video games so that the rest of the uses are for now far removed from the background. They indicate that they are considering this to change in the future, so at least the door is left open for the arrival of applications and services of the Netflix and HBO style.

Nintendo has also confirmed that the new console is not compatible with Wii, Wii U or 3DS games or their peripherals, thus it seems that the possibility of downloading and running games on these platforms almost completely fades unless it arrives an emulator in the future.

Finally, the memory card reader of the Switch is compatible with cards of up to 2 TB although we doubt that someone will put one of such capacity for its high sale price.
