Fans are dissapointed with Nintendo Switch 2’s home screen design

by

In a fresh advertisement for the Nintendo Switch 2, Paul Rudd reappears, echoing his role in an ad for the Super Nintendo. Although the commercial was endearing and nostalgic, some Reddit users have spotted a subtle detail that might be overlooked. At the beginning of the trailer, a fleeting image showcases the home screen of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. It exhibits minor alterations but bears a striking resemblance to the sparsely adorned home screen on the initial Switch console. Fans are hesitant about anticipating personalization options or themes.

Fans are somewhat disappointed with the Nintendo Switch 2’s home screen design

Initially, upon viewing the advertisement for Nintendo Switch 2, I felt compelled to grab my Switch as I couldn’t discern the changes right away. Upon closer inspection, there are only two noticeable differences. The game squares now have rounded edges and instead of separate circles for each option at the bottom of the screen, they are combined into a single, elongated bar. However, the overall color scheme remains the same, retaining its characteristic grayish white tone.

Hey fellow gamers, it seems like the screenshot we’re looking at might be dampening our anticipation for a more visually appealing UI on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. For the past eight years, the UI of the Nintendo Switch has stayed the same, without even adding a popular requested feature – custom themes. A theme would essentially refresh the home screen look, perhaps featuring designs inspired by game franchises like Super Mario, Pokémon, or Animal Crossing. Strangely enough, there’s an option for Themes in System Settings, but since its launch, we’ve only seen two options: white and black. Hope this helps!

In summary, the leading comments on the post criticize Nintendo for not offering new themes. User u/Pick_Boring humorously suggests that it would be amusing if Nintendo continued this trend. Meanwhile, user u/VGADreams expresses their disappointment about the similarity of the Switch 2’s UI to its predecessor, likening it to a new car lacking the “new car smell.” Many fans are somewhat disappointed due to the long wait and high cost for the Switch 2, hoping for more exciting changes, even something as minor as a revamped home screen design.

It’s logical for Nintendo to tread cautiously with their latest console, considering the impressive success of the Nintendo Switch. While they’ve added intriguing new features like the Joy-Con’s mouse functionality and Game Chat camera, there’s a question as to whether these updates will generate the same level of excitement as the previous model among fans. With U.S. pre-orders now available for this upcoming console, we’ll soon see how enthusiastic the public is about it.
