After earlier rumors that YouTube would be the next entertainment app to launch on the Nintendo Switch alongside Hulu, the newest arrival is finally a reality!

YouTube arriving on the hybrid console from Nintendo is big news - especially since the portability of the Switch being such a high selling point. Now you can watch cat videos to your heart's content, or Diablo III builds on the go since the Blizzard title is now available as well.

The full YouTube library is available, much like how the app works on mobile devices. It works both in the handheld and the docked positions. For those that already have a Google account, you can also sign in to access all of your subscriptions and have access to the recommendation feed as well. Now to just get Netflix on the handheld as well...

The Nintendo Switch YouTube app is now available to download in the eShop here.

In other Nintendo news, the team over at the Big N has also revealed their line-up for downloads this week:
