A modest makeover (Nintendo) New pictures provide a better look at the Nintendo Switch 2’s user interface, and it looks like a minor upgrade over the original console. The Nintendo Switch 2 might sport mouse functionality and vastly improved technical specifications, but the console itself is largely an iterative upgrade. This is most clear in the system’s user interface, shown off during the Switch 2 Direct earlier this month, which is basically the same as the original console aside from some new icons for social features like GameChat and transferable Game-Key Cards. Another part of the system’s interface has now been revealed via Nintendo’s website, and it’s another slightly conservative revamp. The images in question show off the redesigned Switch Online app, which is accessible from the home menu and lets players view the retro game library, membership perks, and details of your subscription. As you can see from the pictures, the presentation overall looks more appealing and tidier, but it isn’t a huge leap from the original app’s design. More retro game widgets (Nintendo) The Switch 2 will still have the separate retro console apps, where you’ll actually be able to play games from the Game Boy, GameCube and others depending on your subscription, but those are expected to look the same. More Trending GameCube games will be available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers who own a Switch 2 when the console launches on June 5. The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker, SoulCalibur 2, and F-Zero GX will be playable at launch, with the likes of Super Mario Sunshine and Pokémon Colosseum set to arrive at a later date.

Speaking to press about the eShop, Nintendo Switch 2 producer Kouchi Kawamoto, said: ‘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.’ The Switch 2 is set to launch with Mario Kart World, which has caused some commotion over its price. The Switch 2 interface is very familiar (Nintendo) Email gamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter, and sign-up to our newsletter.
