Hulu’s live TV service has been available on various platforms for over a year. Following feedback, the interface has been adjusted so that users can more easily find what’s on now. Best of all, CNET reports that the new guide is available on Switch.

To access the guide, go to the “Live TV” lightning bolt tab at the top of the home screen. According to CNET, “Rather than a full-on grid, it shows what’s playing now on five channels at a time in a vertical stack, but only the currently selected channel extends to the right to display future shows.”

Users can choose to display either all of the channels available or just the ten most recent ones. However, you can’t manually designate favorite channels.

PixelJunk Monsters 2

A demo for PixelJunk Monsters 2 is now available on the Japanese Switch eShop. It should be offered in other regions soon as well, but if you can’t wait, you simply need a Nintendo Account to access it early. The eShop listing for the full game mentions English support, so we assume that applies to the demo as well.

The PixelJunk Monsters 2 demo takes up 853MB of space. Look for the full game on May 24.
