The Nintendo Switch Can Now Do Math For You, If You Pay $10

The Nintendo Switch is slowly improving as you can now pick up your very own calculator app for just $10 at the Nintendo eShop. The days of using your smartphone to solve math solutions are over as you can whip out your Switch at any time on the go. The future is now.

Simply named Calculator, the application published by Sabec sadly only features single-player math action with no news of any multiplayer function coming in the future, but never say never for future DLC. The app does support table top, TV, and handheld mode for convenience, to easily solve those pesky problems that requires multiplication or division without much use of brain power.

Based on the application’s eShop page , this version of Calculator has an “appealing modern and practical design, sure to be popular with all students and engineers.”. You also get 50 Nintendo Gold Points for purchasing the application, so there’s that.

I didn’t think people needed such an application on a Nintendo system. With this now available for Switch users, one would think this is a sign that we might get more useful applications like maybe Netflix or other streaming apps . Hopefully they are free, of course, since these are subscription-based streaming services. At this point, anything is possible if Calculator can hit the eshop and get priced for $10.
