Nintendo eShop music won't be returning for Switch 2
Sorry fans of the Nintendo shop music circa the Wii era, but we won't be getting a catchy jingle to shop along to on the Switch 2's release this summer.
According to Nintendo Switch 2 producer Kouichi Kawamoto, there is a very sound (no pun intended) reason for not having music on the storefront. In short, nowadays many of the titles listed on the eShop have videos accompanying them, which showcase gameplay to potential customers, and Nintendo "didn’t want to intrude on that". But, while we may not be having a little boogie in our seats as we browse the Nintendo Switch 2's own eShop, it should at least me be more pleasant even if not musical experience compared to what we have now.
