Now you can watch your streamer of choice play Animal Crossing: New Horizons or complain about the Nintendo 64 emulation on the online Expansion Pack.\u00a0Given the lack of many popular streaming services on the eShop, such as Netflix,\u00a0the fact that Twitch made the cut is a small miracle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
