Today we have some sad news to share with you about the NicoNico application on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS.

NicoNico has announced that the livestream function for the NicoNico app on both Nintendo platforms will be removed soon. Starting from March 25 (for 3DS)/March 26, 2020 (Switch), it will no longer be possible to watch livestreams on the NicoNico app, after NicoNico is updated on those dates.

No reason was given for the removal of the livestream function. You can still watch livestreams on the official NicoNico website.

【お知らせ/Nintendo Switch™「niconico」】
2020年3月26日(木)のアップデートで、生放送機能の提供を終了いたします。
動画に関する機能は引き続きご利用いただけます。
