Nintendo Switch: 10 Improvements It STILL Needs
10. Better User Interface
Some say simple is better when it comes to the user interface; look at Apple, they've hardly changed anything about their UI in years. The Switch's UI, however, is far too simple and bland.
The basic UI of the Switch is as follows: your most recently played games appear across the main screen, and at the bottom are various menus for you to access basic options. In the top left corner is your profile menu. That's it.
Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Simple is simple and that can be good. But let's compare to the Xbox One.
It launched back in 2013, and has changed it's UI numerous times until now, at the time of this writing, it has been perfected. Extravagant and full of choices, users can easily and quickly find any option they are looking for.
The Switch was released back in 2017, and in the last three years, there haven't been any major improvements to the UI, and that includes customization. To date, the Switch has two themes: dark and light. Even the 3Ds allowed for the purchase of themes to spice up the home menu.
But they did add a Mario load icon to the store. "Yay"
