While the Nintendo Direct About The Switch 2 only lasted approximately an hour, the deep dives that accompany it offer even more information and take a look at the highly anticipated console, which will be launched on June 5, 2025.
Now, as spotted in “Ask the developer Vol. 16, Nintendo Switch 2 – Chapter 4 “, we get our first overview of the redesigned nintendo eshop. It seems not only much more elegant and well organized, but it should also allow better stages to preserve and for you to find more easily titles that interest you.
Similar to the Switch 2 interface compared to that of the original, Lite and Oled, it is not night and day with the store. You will always find your main sidebar on the left side, but it has new options. I will list them below, but what attracts my attention is the central part next to him entitled “The game finds for you”.
The shared image is read as follows: “Hey, Sarah! Are you looking to find games? We have recommendations!” Apparently, Nintendo will carry out personalized conservation according to your preferences, and it will be refreshed every week, on Saturday, in this case.
Kouichi Kawamoto, producer, planning and entertainment development department in Nintendo, says in the post “There is a feature on Nintendo Eshop called for you, which allows you to quickly see screenshots and watch introductory videos for games.” The team thinks that this will allow you to find something more easily that you like in a title and to decide whether you want to get it or not.
In addition, the nintendo eshop has been optimized and improved to operate on the 7.9 -inch larger screen of Switch 2. The message details that Nintendo thinks that it is just as important as the navigation experience here to decide what to play as good as a game.
The new side bar of the eshop, we read like:
- Star
- Product search
- The game finds for you
- Wishes
- Good deals
- Successful software
- Recent outings
- Future
- Nintendo Switch online
- Enter the code
Although this is not a complete overhaul, the optimizations presented here seem to increase fidelity and improve the recommendation engine for the eShop. It is not clear at the moment if there are more modifications or if this new look can flow to the Lite, Switch or Switch OLED switch.
