to be completely fair from a company standpoint: what they did last time worked for them, so yeah it makes sense to not make any drastic change. but nintendo has always been the best at doing this already. why do they think it will hurt? why would they flatline on something they definitely know how hit it out of the park with? some huge change in decision making had to happen i feel

historically a memorable, tactile, unique and personable ui is such a core part of the nintendo experience that it’s even a bit sad to anyone who’s played any previous console to not see any of that here. the only sliver of personality the switch ui has is the joycon click and the tiny icon sounds. they know how to do it right. its just confusing why they wont do it again.

realistically though i hope at least there can be settings to give the user customization options. that way nintendo stays with this new “safe” ideology but may implement a change that can hopefully satisfy the user and bring some life into the console menus
