After a few ‘interactive’ episodes of shows like Black Mirror, Netflix announced they would be moving into video game streaming eventually. Game development jobs have appeared on the Netflix website, and according to a report from Bloomberg, the company intends to introduce games to the platform within the year.

In related news, the Nintendo Switch recently got a new application in the form of Pokémon TV. Pokémon TV adds a lot of new Pokémon content to your Nintendo Switch, with plenty of classic cartoon episodes, series specials and even replays of top competitive championships to watch at your leisure.

The app is free to download and available now on Nintendo Switch – but it’s also available on Android and iOS devices, too, with companion apps available on most digital stores.
