The Nintendo Switch is an excellent console, but one thing it lacks is an easy way for gamers to access their favourite streaming services like Amazon Prime Video.

This means, much like the situation regarding Netflix on Nintendo Switch, or BBC iPlayer on the PS5, there's no easy way to get Amazon Prime Video on Switch.
