A New UI for Nintendo Switch?
Although there is nothing wrong with the current UI, it sure lacks in a few departments. The UI is extremely minimal and doesn’t really interact with the user. It also does not provide any information about the game when users hover over, which could be a great addition. It also does not let you make folders which could be helpful if you’re one to categorize games based on their genres.
