RUMOR - Netflix customer service rep says Netflix is "Locked and Loaded" for Switch, Awaiting Nintendo Approval

This info comes straight from GoNintendo user KamehamehaX, and we're happy to bring it to you!

According to a Netflix customer service rep, Netflix is "locked and loaded" for Switch. Apparently Netflix has been trying to get permission to launch their app on Switch, and as soon as Nintendo gives the go-ahead, the app can be added to the eShop. As of right now, Netflix is just waiting for Nintendo to give the green light.

Obviously, we don't have confirmation from Nintendo on this, and I know some people don't believe customer service reps. We've certainly seen reps get info wrong before. Let's just hope this info is correct and the service will be added to Switch soon!

UPDATE - We have since been provided with screenshots of the Netflix customer service chat where this info came from.

Do the other console Netflix apps allow you to download video? It would be a terrible missed opportunity if the Switch doesn't let you register it as one of your devices for downloading for offline viewing.

I wonder if Nintendo is the bottleneck here. Neither the store nor the OS is really built to have "apps" separate from the "games" sections. I mean, they don't have to be separate, but they might want it that way.

Clearly Nintendo had other focuses at launch and that’s a good thing, but owning a Switch for 6 months now I’m kinda begging for Netflix on it.
