The Nintendo Switch is on the rise: in addition to a series of exclusives, the sales figures are equally impressive. However, when it comes to video, the console is a little behind the rest: only recently has YouTube reached the Nintendo hybrid and other applications like Netflix or Amazon are not yet present on the console.
However, according to VentureBeat, the case may change. According to Jean-Baptiste Kempf, lead developer at VideoLan (which owns VLC), he has plans to bring the video player to Nintendo Switch.
VLC Media Player is one of the most popular and versatile software to run video on the PC and would be a novelty for the Nintendo Switch. It is worth noting that, although VLC is also available on Xbox One consoles, a PS4 version would be unlikely since, in Kempf’s words, PS4 already has its own media player and streaming service.
With this software, in theory, it would be possible to run personal videos on your Nintendo Switch. However, it is very unlikely that this will happen in the near future.
Would you like VLC to come to Switch?
