Jennifer is a TV News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.
Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.
Her Alien: Earth coverage for Screen Rant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.
She began her career as an editor in 2014. She was initially a finance editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.
During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.
Nintendo Switch has doubled as a gaming console and a portable entertainment streaming device for quite some time. However, it will soon lose one of its major features that fans have come to enjoy, Hulu.
While the Nintendo Switch 2 features major hardware upgrades, patrons who used their consoles to stream TV shows and movies are about to receive a disappointing downgrade. Not only does the new system currently lack support for major streaming apps, but the original Nintendo Switch is also losing Hulu, one of its most prominent streaming services.
Nintendo has confirmed that Hulu will be removed from all Switch models on February 5, 2026. In an update issued on January 7, 2026, the company announced that the app is being discontinued. It has already been removed from the Nintendo Switch eShop, preventing new downloads. Full support will officially end on the aforementioned date.
For years, Hulu was one of the few mainstream streaming platforms available on the Switch, making it a popular option for users who wanted an all-in-one handheld device for both gaming and entertainment. Its removal significantly reduces the console’s streaming capabilities, which were already limited.
The release of the Switch 2 makes this news even more upsetting for consumers. At launch, along with Hulu, the new console does not support Crunchyroll or YouTube. The latter is currently listed as “unsupported,” meaning it may function in limited ways, if at all. It has not been verified for compatibility at the time of this article's publication. Crunchyroll, meanwhile, is completely incompatible, which could push away a pretty large demographic of anime fans.
Despite Hulu’s departure and Crunchyroll not being on the Switch 2, the anime streaming app will remain on the original model. Nintendo has not announced any plans to discontinue it anytime soon.
Hulu’s removal appears to be a decision made mainly by Disney rather than Nintendo. The change aligns with Hulu’s upcoming transition as it will soon be combined with Disney+. While the platform's content will still exist, it'll just be under one streaming service.
