The Nintendo Switch has been going from strength to strength since its launch last year, with a host of top-tier titles released for the hybrid console, but it still lacks many of the most popular apps you can find elsewhere.One of those missing apps is YouTube, but that's a gap that might be filled in the very near future: a few Switch users have spotted YouTube appearing in the "suggested" section of the Nintendo website, with an availability date of November 8.
