Switch 2 eShop Looks So Much Smoother, At Least So Far
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
No, there isn’t eShop music on Switch 2. But yes, the digital storefront seems greatly improved from a usability perspective on the upcoming system. A new video showing off the Switch 2 eShop shows a smooth and snappy interface–one that seems about a billion times faster than its original Switch counterpart (maybe a bit of mathematical exaggeration).
VGC shared a first look at the Switch 2 eShop on YouTube, revealing how much quicker scrolling to different games is on the storefront. Now, there still seems to be a bit of a hiccup when actually clicking a specific title. Still, this small pause is a noted improvement over the original Switch’s eShop, which can go to a white screen with three dots before loading.
Another difference between the Switch and Switch 2 eShops relates to the left-side menu bar. Switch 2’s storefront shows, in order from top down, these major categories: Highlights, Search, For You, and Wish List. Meanwhile, Switch’s eShop displays Search/Browse at the top, though it starts highlighted on Featured. Under that is Recent Releases, Great Deals, and Best Sellers.
