I'm a HTML5 game developer, and I'm wondering, are HTML5 games supported or playable on Switch?

I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject, but considering the Switch does not have a web-browser I would assume that HTML5 development isn't supported.

However, it should arrive in the future. Nintendo probably didn't develop their "Nintendo Web Framework", which support HTML5 but is limited to WiiU development as of right now, for nothing.

@19Robb92 Thanks! I did find this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5xO--T5J6w ) but this seems to be a trick and not something that Nintendo officially supports. My fingers are crossed it will arrive soon in the future because we get more and more people asking us to port our game to Switch.

switch does have a web browser, so I would be extremely surprised if HTML5 is not supported, once they unlock it properly.

Switch games list,

Legend of Zelda BotW, Human resource machine, NBA Playgrounds, Street Fighter 2, Super Bomberman R, Snipperclips, Overcooked, World of Goo.
