Ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2\u2019s launch, Nintendo said that the eShop would be improved and run more smoothly on the new console. Based on our initial testing at The Verge<\/em>, it\u2019s immediately apparent that the Switch 2\u2019s eShop is much better.<\/p>\n

On the original Switch, the eShop can be extremely sluggish. Even just moving from one section to another can have a lag, and clicking into a game sometimes takes a bit to load before you can even go through the process of buying it. The delays and slow navigation make using the shop a huge pain; I personally often defaulted to buying digital games on Nintendo\u2019s website because it was a better experience.<\/p>\n

On the Switch 2, the eShop is way faster. It\u2019s all much more snappy, with much<\/em> less lag browsing through sections and loading up game pages. Just take a look at this video comparing jumping into the eShop on both consoles, captured by my colleague Tristan Cooper \u2013 it\u2019s dramatically faster on the Switch 2:<\/p>\n

And how about if you want to search for Deltarune<\/em><\/a>? Again, way quicker on the Switch 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the system\u2019s performance capabilities, Nintendo eShop on Switch 2 has been improved and runs smoothly even when displaying a large number of games,\u201d Switch 2 director Takuhiro Dohta said in an interview published in April<\/a>. \u201cWe believe the act of finding the game you want to play is itself part of the game system experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now, the eShop feels like one part of the Switch 2 experience that\u2019s a huge upgrade. Hopefully, that will end up making it a better place to find great games<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
