Hulu received a new update on Switch, bumping the app up to version 2.2.0. We’re only aware of one addition, but it’s a fairly notable one.
After applying the update, you’ll notice that Hulu can be controlled entirely with the right Joy-Con. This actually wasn’t possible previously. Prior to the patch, the right stick wasn’t functional, but can now be used to navigate.
Thanks to Cameron for the tip.
