Crunchyroll on Nintendo Switch marks the latest expansion of streaming services available through Nintendo’s eShop.
The Crunchyroll app is now listed on the Switch eShop and gives anime viewers access to a broad catalog of series and movies, including high-profile franchises such as Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, One Piece, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
The launch places Crunchyroll alongside other entertainment apps already available on the platform.
According to the Switch eShop listing, the Crunchyroll app provides access to over 1,000 titles in multiple languages, including both recent hits and long-running classics.
The listing highlights Crunchyroll Originals alongside licensed series and notes a free 14-day trial of Crunchyroll Premium.
The Premium trial is advertised as offering benefits such as ad-free viewing, simulcast episodes available one hour after their Japanese broadcast, and offline viewing capability.
The eShop entry also advises that downloaded offline files can be large and recommends using a microSD card for the best storage and playback experience.
The arrival of Crunchyroll follows a steady increase in media-focused apps on Switch.
Nintendo’s platform has previously received services including Pokemon TV, as well as third-party video apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Funimation.
These additions reflect Nintendo’s continued support for multimedia content alongside its game-focused library.
The Crunchyroll application itself is available to download for free from the Nintendo eShop.
Users who want the ad-free experience and advanced features can opt into the 14-day free Premium trial through the app.
For players planning to use offline downloads frequently, the eShop listing’s recommendation to use a microSD card is a practical consideration given the file sizes involved in storing multiple episodes.
