Regardless, here are three key aspects of\nthe Nintendo Switch UI that can be improved on for optimum performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Some design touches on the Home\nScreen would go a long way<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Nintendo\nSwitch&#8217;s home screen is just functional at best and this enhances its booting\nspeed when it&#8217;s turned on. However, some areas still need to be improved. One\narea the designer could start with is to provide gamers with an option to\nresize application icons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nwill allow them to view more icons on the screen simultaneously whilst the\nmultiple rows used in the 3DS and Wii U interfaces should be brought\nback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nmust also be noted that the folders feature is missing. The fact that there are\nthree years of games that are available should provide an incentive for a\nproper way of organizing these games to be done and this should be a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nintendo\nSwitch currently has just two themes namely, light and dark, and there are no\nother ways that the UI can be personalized to meet the needs of gamers. At\nleast gamers should be provided the luxury of being able to use their screenshots\nand custom images and makeshift themes, as is available in PS4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Nintendo eShop<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This\ncould pass for an online service and needs a lot of work due to its poor\nnavigation paths, conspicuous lag, and poor layout. The unending lags and\nperformance issues are areas that should be fixed in Nintendo&#8217;s eShop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nstill needs a lot of work as just a simple scroll through the list of options\ncan be frustrating due to the hitching that occurs whenever one makes a stop on\na new category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\ncan still find some games you&#8217;d like to purchase but won&#8217;t be able to add them\nto the cart. You&#8217;ll have to buy the games individually and this is a big\ntime-wasting process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody wants their time being wasted when there are other platforms though which gaming can be enjoyed. Casinos provide an ideal option and folks should do well to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casimba.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">play casino games here<\/a> for fun. Meanwhile, it must be noted that the use of workarounds to accomplish this task of buying a bunch of games at once through Nintendo&#8217;s eShop is not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nlayout can also be improved, as a simultaneous search on games of a specific\ngenre that are on sale cannot be done, although the searches can be done\nindependently. There have been issues with finding decent games that are\navailable for sale through the search feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Online Services should be\nenhanced<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nintendo&#8217;s\nonline features have always left more to be desired from gamers. The Wii and\nthe consoles that preceded it were no different as there were no major\nenhancements in their online features. Regardless of the paid online\nsubscription that was introduced, no major improvements like social features\nand servers were available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With\nNintendo Switch, one area that can be looked at is the improvement of\ninteraction with friends as very few things can be done with friends when the\ngame is not being played.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nare no features for inviting friends to games through a friends list, as well\nas no means for a text or voice chat. The fact that these missing features have\nbeen added to a different Nintendo Switch Online app instead is a major turn\noff. The addition of a dedicated server would be a big plus to Nintendo Switch\nas there are multiple games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 that would\nbenefit from this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For\ninstance, playing Splatoon 2 outside of a peer-to-peer connection would be\nbliss. Nintendo should go all out and ensure that the online portions of games\nlike Super Smash Bros are the best they can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve\nwritten and suggested our bit but can only hope for Nintendo to put some of the\naforementioned improvements in place over the next year to improve the gaming\nexperience. The Switch offers a lot of games although it needs some tweaks to\nhelp eliminate some of the lingering issues that have been affecting gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s no more news that Nintendo Switch has been a huge success although there are still some aspects of the hybrid console that can be improved on to meet the demands of more gamers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news_info"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1718,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1717\/revisions\/1718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mariomayhem.com\/bowsers_blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
