Although the new Nintendo Switch comes with almost all you need for an exciting video gaming experience, the device does not have a web browser. I being someone who loves to browse the web to make sure that I am updated on the hottest video game making headlines, I think Nintendo should work on fixing this issue. Anyway, it still doesn’t mean you can’t still browse the internet on your device! It turns out; there is a hidden web browser on the Nintendo Switch.
