Clean up and Curate the eShop
Nintendo recently announced that the Nintendo Switch eShop has over 1,300 titles to choose from, and that was in November, so that number has definitely risen monumentally, especially since indies have been taking over.
And no, we’re not saying that indies are a bad thing –not in the slighest– but when you have shovelware titles being put on the eShop every week, it can be hard to separate the treasure from the trash and Nintendo needs to do something about this.
As of right now on the Switch eShop, all you can do is see recent releases, top-selling games, and games that are on sale; of course, you can also just search for whatever it is you’re looking for.
There are no categories like the PSN Store that highlight games that are catered towards your interests. What Sony does is see what you’ve been playing and recommends other titles based on your recent game choices.
There are some strange, hyper-sexualized games on the eShop that cost around one dollar, but will have $10 DLC packs, which isn’t bad, but just looks peculiar when it’s sitting next to Breath of the Wild of Mario Odyssey.
With some cleaning up and curating, the Switch eShop can be a better and safer space for those looking for some high-quality games from Nintendo and from indie developers that deserve the spotlight.
