Nintendo Switch 2 eShop Upgrade Praised by Fans

Nintendo Switch 2 Debuts With Major eShop Improvements

The much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 finally hits shelves today, and players are already singing praises about its massively upgraded eShop experience. Gone are the days of sluggish loading times - the new storefront zips between menus with impressive speed, feeling worlds apart from its nearly decade-old predecessor.

Fire up the Switch 2's digital store and you'll find yourself browsing within seconds. Every section responds instantly, making the shopping experience feel refreshingly modern. But the standout feature? A game-changing "on sale" filter added to the Wishlist functionality.

This brilliant quality-of-life addition lets players immediately spot discounted titles in their wishlist - perfect for deal hunters tracking dozens of potential purchases. Early adopters on Reddit can't stop raving about the night-and-day difference, describing the new eShop as "buttery smooth" and calling the old version "painfully outdated by comparison." Some particularly enthusiastic fans claim it makes the original Switch's store feel "like dial-up internet."

In another pleasant surprise, Nintendo has confirmed backward compatibility works both ways - select Switch 2 enhanced versions like Breath of the Wild actually function on the original hardware. However, not all launch news has been positive. Some retailers have damaged consoles by stapling through the thin packaging, while the controversial $10 "Welcome Tour" collection requires nearly $100 in accessories for full completion - a decision that's left many fans scratching their heads.
