Would be great to see an official Shadow App for Nintendo Switch. We’ve already got the portable device with a gaming controller.

The two “gotchas” I suppose are 1) it’s different OS that would need to be developed for and 2) Nintendo may have a policy in place to block certain apps? Not sure. But it would still be pretty cool.

This could be done as a homebrew project? There are already a couple of projects similar for game streaming on Switch, and only yesterday a Switch Moonlight client was released!

A quick google shows that some clever people are essentially running the Android client on their switches. Which is great. I’d rather something be supported by the official developers though.

Yeah I’ve actually tried Android on my Switch myself. Whilst it works well some things just don’t work properly, sleep mode, wired joy-cons, etc. so I’d much rather see a native app!
