Here’s the Switch 2’s homescreen
Nintendo didn’t spend much time on the Switch 2’s UI during today’s big Direct presentation, but the company has just given us a pretty good look at the new console’s homescreen.
At the bottom of Nintendo’s webpage detailing how certain games are getting updated Switch 2 Editions, there is a small image of the Switch 2’s homescreen highlighting where the eShop icon will be located. Aside from a few minute aesthetic changes, the homescreen looks more or less like the original Switch’s. Presumably, you’ll also be able to select a darker UI option the way you can on Nintendo’s last console. There’s no word on whether the Switch 2’s UI will gain customization features like what we’ve seen on the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X / Series S. But Nintendo went into great detail about the console’s specs, its new features, and how you will be able to preorder the system ahead of its June release.
Homescreen customization isn’t exactly what sells people on consoles, but something as simple as being able to set your own wallpaper can go a long way in terms of making you want to spend time looking at a screen. That feels like the sort of thing Nintendo might want to capitalize on given how the company is positioning the Switch 2 to be a gaming machine that also does screen-sharing video calls.
