No further details were shared, including whether YouTube is updating its app to work with both Switch generations or building a Switch 2-specific version. The original Nintendo Switch YouTube app wasn’t released until November 8th, 2018, well after the Switch’s launch date on March 3rd, 2017.

While you can access the app on your smartphone, YouTube for Switch 2 could expand the scope of the handheld console.

The Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have many entertainment apps, making the lack of YouTube sorely missed, but Nintendo is working on a solution.

Nintendo says only USB-C cameras are compatible with the new Switch 2, but many users have found evidence to the contrary.

Nintendo has announced Splatoon Raiders – the series' first spin-off game and a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.

The YouTube app is available through the Nintendo eShop, but it is currently exclusive to the original Switch, meaning players swapping over to the Switch 2 are unable to use the app. Some players are already reaching out on social media to ask for an app to be added, and Google has replied to one of the requests.

Zack Nelson of the popular JerryRigEverything YouTube channel is more used to putting smartphones through his demanding durability test, but he clearly couldn’t resist doing the same with Nintendo’s just-released Switch 2 handheld to find out if it’s a “pass” or “fail” when it comes to hardiness.

The Switch 2 is more powerful than its predecessor and a lot bigger, but can it take a beating? That’s what one YouTuber tried to find out, wasting absolutely no time before putting a stomach-churning beatdown on Nintendo’s new hardware.
