As of today the anime streaming service, Funimation, is available on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
While many Nintendo Switch gamers have felt that they are missing out on the many available streaming services, anime fans are getting a beacon of hope. Funimation has launched its free to download application on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Currently, the app is only downloadable in the U.S. and Canada. Funimation stated that they have, “plans to expand to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Mexico, and more countries in the coming months.” Before Funimation, the only streaming service offered on the Switch was Hulu.
About Funimation
For those who may not know what Funimation is let me explain. The streaming service focuses completely on anime shows/movies. They have hundreds of titles, including My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Black Clover, Fairy Tail, and much more. It should also be noted that Funimation recently acquired, Crunchyroll, the other big anime streaming service. This makes Funimation the largest hub of anime titles.
