The Nintendo Switch 2 launches today, with players immediately praising its significantly improved eShop. The updated digital storefront is not only faster but also introduces a genuinely useful new feature, leaving the sluggish experience of its predecessor firmly in the past.
Accessing the Switch 2 eShop now brings you to the main menu in mere seconds. Browsing feels remarkably responsive, with store sections and game pages loading almost instantly.
The community's overall reaction to the new eShop has been highly positive. Fans have been particularly pleased with the addition of an "on sale" filter within the Wishlist menu.
This new filter lets you quickly see which games on your Wishlist are currently discounted—a major convenience for anyone tracking a long list of potential purchases.
On Reddit, early Switch 2 owners describe the eShop browsing experience as "very responsive," "so zippy," and finally, "not a buggy mess."
As one fan put it: "It's so smooth to use. The old Switch eShop felt like browsing the PS3's PSN store."
In other positive news, players are surprised to find that some "Switch 2 Edition" games, like *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*, are playable on the original Nintendo Switch through reverse compatibility.
However, not all aspects of the launch have been smooth. IGN recently reported on instances of damaged consoles due to retailers using staples on the thin packaging. Additionally, the $10 *Switch 2 Welcome Tour* mini-game collection—which many argue should have been free—reportedly requires over $95 worth of accessories to achieve 100% completion.
