Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, has said in an interview with Kotaku that video-on-demand services such as Netflix will come to the Nintendo Switch ‘in due time’, but it’s down to the service provider to push it, not Nintendo.
Fils-Aime also touched on how GameCube controllers came to be supported on the Switch with update 4.0.0, saying that the update was merely meant to enable third-party peripherals to work on the console. Fils-Aime said that the GameCube support was merely an accident and it was ‘as much a surprise to us as it was to consumers.’
The interview also discussed Nintendo’s My Nintendo rewards service, which is yet to offer any Switch-specific rewards. Fils-Aime hinted that this was likely to change, saying that, ‘There are unique elements coming for Nintendo Switch. We’ll be announcing those in due time. We do believe having a strong loyalty program for all of our products is important and certainly our fans appreciate it.’
