Funimation Launches New App For Nintendo Switch Today

For Nintendo Switch, the platform’s strong point continues to be in the first-party software that Nintendo delivers in bringing annually as the game is slowly approaching its fourth year. However, unlike its competitors, there is an abundance of streaming apps missing from the hybrid console handheld. While the firm did welcome Hulu back in 2017 to the Switch eShop, other services has yet to do the same.

However, Sony Pictures is planning to change that now with the firm establishing a new app for Funimation. Previously, we witnessed Funimation collaborate with the likes of Microsoft & Discord to offer free trials for the anime streaming service in the past, but this is a big leap for the monthly subscription offering a new audience to its user base.

Not only is it coming to Nintendo Switch, the app will be the first to debut the new revamped interface that redefines user experience with Funimation. The firm tells that the same update will also be applied to other consoles as well in the coming future.

But that’s not all. The Funimation Nintendo Switch App marks the official unveiling of our latest Funimation App design, a refreshing rework of the anime app you know and love. This new update includes:

A brand-new look and feel
All-new curations and a “My Anime” page
Anime launch schedule
And much, much more!

Concerning Nintendo Switch’s situation with its lackluster selection of streaming apps, many presume the company is avoiding the same mistake it made with the Wii U. In contrast to its predecessor, Nintendo readied the system with the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but the device fell flat in reception following its release and unable to meet the legacy of its former, the Nintendo Wii.

More excitingly is the new interface and touch ups for the Funimation app. However, other firms like Google should also take notes. The YouTube app has remained the same since releasing on the Xbox One/PlayStation 4and is due for an upgrade. You can read our editorial on the situation by heading here.
