Crunchyroll arrives on Nintendo Switch

<p>Finally!</p>

Written by Ross Locksley on 17 Feb 2022



Fans have been demanding this for ages, but finally Crunchyroll's app is now available on Nintendo Switch! While Crunchyroll is pretty ubiquitous for portable devices and consoles, the Nintendo Switch has been the hybrid curiously missing from the equation.

With the stunning new OLED model, there's no better time to install the app and enjoy the kinetic and colourful medium on your gaming device.

From the Press Release:

With this launch, Crunchyroll will become the first streaming application to offer offline viewing on Nintendo Switch™ and one of a limited number of SVOD apps on the gaming console. Fans can access the Crunchyroll app to enjoy ad-supported anime or through their Crunchyroll subscription to enjoy unlimited ad-free anime, with simulcast series streaming day and date with premiere in Japan.

Created for the global anime community and powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine technology, the application allows users to enjoy their anime in TV mode, with their console docked and plugged into a television, in tabletop mode, which allows fans to share their anime with others, or in handheld mode, to pick up and experience with Joy-Con™ controllers attached.

Crunchyroll, the global anime brand that offers fans a full experience with their favourite anime series beyond streaming, is also available through iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Roku, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Chromecast.

Crunchyroll is available to download on your Nintendo Switch now.
