 So, sometimes the best updates to come to Nintendo Switch are the ones that Nintendo doesn't even talk about, so as you can see here, I am on the eShop on Nintendo Switch, and you might notice that there is a new option on the left, that being games on sale. And this isn't a surprise, obviously there was going to eventually be sales on the games on the eShop, and it had to be a way to find them easily, and Nintendo plans to run discounts, and heck there might even be an exclusive tab eventually for discounts for Nintendo Switch online subscribers, but obviously this is just a really important update to Switch because game sales are a big deal. A lot of people don't buy games until they go on sale, and on the Switch, the Switch is eShop, we just have to admit it's not very good. It has the basic structure down, but beyond the bare bones basics, it's missing a lot of stuff. So, let's just go into some of the things on eShop that I feel could get better, and why I'm pleased about the games on sale section. So, when we go to recent releases, I don't really think there's anything wrong with the releases here, right? They they have about, well let's see here, let's just count up top my head, I'm sure 36, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 games before you can go to view all, and you can see I have something to purchase, like golf story down here, I cannot suggest golf story enough, oops, but yeah it's, I think this is mostly fine, it's just gonna be like the 20 plus or so most recent releases, and that doesn't bother me. What I like is that they don't separate, this is something I know some people complain about, but they don't separate triple A releases from Indies. They fairly treat every single game that releases digitally as being worth a spot, and it's based on which games came out most recently. Now, Flame and the Flood is the most recent release, Yono also recently came out, but yeah, it's just really, really nice when you see some of these top tier games listed next to triple A games, and like look, here is FIFA 18 or Unlimited World over here, one piece, and surrounded by golf story and lovers in a dangerous space time. It's just, it's, I think it's a great way to gain exposure because some people in my head to the Asia and be like, hey look, I want to get Super Mario Odyssey, and all of a sudden right next to it they might see games like the Flame and the Flood, or the Fire Emblem Warriors when that releases as well, but it's just, I think a nice way to treat games fairly, like all of them are on equal footing, because honestly I think the hardest thing I have when talking about triple A games and indie titles is that people don't act like those games are on equal footing, and I think that's just wrong, I think they are on equal footing and should be treated as such. Indie titles have essentially become the new B tier of video games, and there are many B tier video games, while I grew up that many thought were better than triple A games, and just like there's some indie titles that people think are legit better, I mean Stardew Valley, excellent example of a Steam World Dig 2, which I don't think is a recent release now at this point, it's crazy thinking, my game just came out recently and it's already off of the list, that goes to show you the wealth of content on your, so I actually think Nintendo did a good job with the recent releases listing, but beyond that it can be difficult to find certain games, so you have your best sellers list, just kind of a requirement of any online shop, it's good to know what people are buying, it kind of helps you give suggestions for games, if you're not sure what games are good on Switch, you can essentially go to the best sellers list and be pretty happy with the selections there, I mean Stardew Valley is widely considered to be an excellent game, golf story, I can't sing the praises enough, we know Axiom Verge is amazing, Sonic Mania is awesome, Overcooked is really fun, especially in multiplayer, there's the aforementioned Steam World Dig 2, generally the games you're going to find on here are going to be worth your time, now you guys know my feelings on Mario Bros, but generally all these games are good, even FIFA for my criticisms of it is generally a good game, you're going to find good, well wow, Breath of the Wild was a launch game and it's still among the top 15 best sellers, that's impressive, Breath of the Wild man, it's the game that just keeps on giving, but I don't have any issues with that, then you have the coming soon section, again now a whole lot of issues with this, what is nice is that they have like a bigger, a bigger selection, like the images are bigger and they show off more of the game, I mean you know they got Skyrim coming out on November 17th, Xenoblade, Siberia, which actually this game looked really really good, I didn't play the original, but it looked like a farming simulator for those interested, Monopoly, I really want Monopoly, and I know it kind of sucks as it comes out a few days after Mario Odyssey, but I love a good Monopoly game, just a lot of fun here in terms of, oh there's the original Siberia, must be released the same day I assume, no it does not really the same day, interesting, there's Fire Emblem Warriors which we all know comes out in a few days, but yeah in general I like this, now one thing I wish they would do is take some of the coming soon, so the default thing when you load up each of its recent releases that comes out, I wouldn't mind if they had a row of coming soon with a selection for view all at the top, because I think some people like the pre-order and some of the games can be pre-loaded and if the games are available for pre-load I feel like they should be up there as extra advertising and let people know about the coming soon, obviously if you're enter code where you enter download codes or eShop codes and blah blah blah, the games on sale section is my favorite section just because it's very clear what it is, there can be 50 games on sale, this is where you're going to go to find them and it's an easy way to do it, but here's the deal, let's say I want to find the original snipper clips, it's not here in the recent releases, it's not in the games on sale section because it's not on sale, it is not in the best seller section, it's not in the coming soon section, where do I go to view all of the games on the eShop, can I even organize it, well kind of, but you have to go to recent releases, this is what's so confusing about this right, there's no view all indie games or select genre or anything like that, so you go to recent releases, you have to go all the way to the bottom, select view all, once you get into here you can start organizing, you can go by price, you can go by genre, now what I wish you could do is go by like release year or month or day, you can go up here and go new to old, so you can go down here and go old to new, now this would be the quickest way to find snipper clips because it's right there, but I had to go into a sub menu to even gain access to this, I feel like the menu to view all games and organize stuff should be over there on the left or somewhere in the main area, not at the very bottom of recent releases to get, there's literally no other way to get here outside of that, now from here you can, it's got all your normal filters, you got your arcade games and your fighting games and yada yada yada, it's actually more fighting games on here than I thought and I realized, oh yes, yes astro bears, but yeah it's, it's, this works fine, it's just not ideal, I almost wish that they would Netflix it up a little bit and what I mean by is, if you ever look at the index of Netflix, you'll see here's the most recent releases, there'll be a row, a scrollable row, so let's go back here, so instead of scrolling down like this, they could have these 20 games right here, recent releases and then you just keep going to the right, which you can't do here and have 20 games and then you could have, instead of having like best sellers down there, you could have best sellers on the next row, right here and then you have the top 15 best sellers, okay and then right below that you start picking out genres that the eShop smartly figures out that you enjoy based on purchase history, so it might have like the basic action than RPG, then adventure, and puzzle, and fighting or whatever, but over time as you purchase games, it'll be like okay cool, so we notice that you purchase a lot of action games, so let's make action games right here, then you can scroll over, well we notice you purchase a lot of RPGs, so that's what RPG games and you here and you can scroll over and then of course you have to have a section that has like top suggested games, so where it takes games based on you know that are user reviews or based on the titles that you liked and that maybe you've reviewed in the past, which by the way there's no user reviews, I don't understand how Nintendo had a better eShop on Wii U when it comes to this stuff than they do on Switch, especially with how clean the Switch's UI is, like this is very clean, but maybe it could be better and they could add in a slew of that kind of Netflix-like stuff, that kind of user rated stuff, that kind of ability to tailor the content to you and suggest games based on that, now obviously that opens up a system for abuse, Nintendo could clearly be like oh we notice you played Mario plus Rabbins, Kingdom Battles, Snipperclips, Just Dance, we're going to suggest to you you buy Mario Odyssey instead of suggesting to you maybe that you buy Star, you know Star to Valley or something or Golf Story, there's obviously a tendency in the Nintendo to my favor their own content, just like Netflix favors their own in-house shows, they're going to suggest their in-house shows to you pretty often over other networks that they work with, but they will still suggest those networks as well, those shows will be right next to the Netflix shows and likewise even if Odyssey as an example or Breath of the Wild as an example is the first game suggested there would be other games next to it including Indy and AAA, so you know sports titles, I mean, can I even organize my sports? I can't even remember through the sports section, let's go view all genre, do they have sports, they have racing, oh they do have sports, just curious how many others, so we got, I guess it's an RPG on a sports, so there you go on the NBA 2K18 with three slots, gotta love that, RBI Baseball, Mini Golf, not a ton of sports games, but I mean they could suggest all these games maybe because I purchased NBA 2K18 in Golf Story, so then they could suggest FIFA to me and RBI Baseball and Infinite Mini Golf which is 30% off and Ultra Hyperball, I feel like the eShop is kind of a shell right now and I think you guys understand what I mean when I say that, it really just feels like this is something that the very bare bones quickest thing they could slap together and it can be done better, but again we're just talking about this today because they did bring the games on sale section which I think is essential in my honest opinion, but you guys let me know what you think about the eShop in the comments below, what you guys would do to improve it, obviously I brought up my ideas and how I would prefer it to be used, but if you have your own unique ideas, please let me know because I feel like while it might seem like a small thing, eShop is a big deal and as we get to Nintendo charging for online and potentially expanding to eShop and offering more sales and we're getting to more and more game releases because I showed you how to quickly find like snipper clips, but it's not as easy to find something that like, oh let's say it came out in July, I mean if you go by latest or you go by oldest to newest or newest to oldest, you're still not going to exactly find that game you're looking for and that has, I mean think about the visibility that sucks, whereas I think that Netflix like system actually will increase the visibility of these things for a lot longer period of time, which is a benefit to gamers and to game developers. I feel like indie games in particular are going to get overlooked very quickly on the eShop.
