The iconic Wii eShop theme song has left a lasting impression, inspiring remixes and parodies. However, the Nintendo Switch 2's eShop will not include music due to a focus on video content. Producer Kouichi Kawamoto explained that the presence of game showcase videos warranted a quieter experience. The team aims to enhance performance, ensuring smooth scrolling and fast-loading pages for users. More details about the Switch 2 eShop will emerge as the June 5 launch approaches, focusing primarily on user experience improvements without musical interruptions.
"Unlike back then, the eShop now has lots of videos that are showcasing the games. We didn't want to intrude on that, so we don't have music there."
"I wanted to make sure that it was a smooth experience. That the scrolling of the list doesn't stall, that it's very smooth, pages load fast."
