Nintendo has said that Switch 2’s eShop won’t have any theme music, just like the first Switch didn’t, as a result of not wanting to disrupt the user experience.
In an interview with Polygon, Switch 2 producer Kouichi Kawamoto said, “Unlike back then, the eShop now has lots of videos that are showcasing the games.” Before the Switch, systems like Wii and Wii U had music themes playing as users browsed their respective eShops. “We didn’t want to intrude on that, so we don’t have music there.”
Kawamoto added that he wanted to make sure that browsing the Switch 2 eShop was a smooth experience, that the list doesn’t stall, and that pages load fast. Due to those factors, the eShop won’t have any theme music.
