A tweet from Netflix spread online after one person was told that there are no plans for the service on Switch. However, a spokesperson has now offered a bit of a different statement.
Netflix’s official comment is the following: “We are still exploring the opportunity with Nintendo, but don’t have definitive plans to share at this time.” We’re also hearing that Netflix will send an update with a similar message on @Netflixhelps.
You’d have to think that, in due time, Netflix will land on Switch. It’s just a matter when.

“Currently no plans” for Netflix on Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch eShop | 47 Comments
Multimedia and streaming apps have been on the top of many people’s Switch wishlists. Last year, NicoNico was made available on the Switch in Japan, followed by Hulu in North America. Netflix seems like an obvious candidate for the system – after all, it even hit the Wii U. However, it seems like that won’t be happening any time soon. Responding to a request for a Switch version on Twitter, the Netflix customer service account stated that there are “currently no plans for Netflix on Nintendo Switch”.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that the streaming service will never be on the system – but it does seem like it’ll be a while until it happens.

Netflix’s Castlevania series is based on Castlevania III, producer says it’ll be very R-rated
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Information about the new Castlevania animated series on Netflix is starting to trickle in following the news that surfaced yesterday.
Castlevania Season 1, Part 1 will debut at some point this year. A second season is lined up for 2018. Each episode will run for roughly 30 minutes.
Netflix’s description of the series says it follows “the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself.” Producer Adi Shankar also confirmed to IGN that the show is an adaptation of Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse.
Shankar also had this to say:
“This is very much Castlevania done in the vein of Game of Thrones. (Producer and writer) Warren Ellis added so much depth to the material. [The series is] going to be R-rated as f***. … this is going to be the best f*****g video game adaptation we’ve had to date.”
