Nintendo Confirms No eShop Music for Switch 2

Nintendo has confirmed that the beloved eShop music from the Wii era will not return with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Producer Kouichi Kawamoto explained that the decision was made to enhance the shopping experience by prioritizing gameplay videos instead of music on the storefront. Kawamoto mentioned that he still enjoys the nostalgic Wii Shopping Channel tune, but emphasized the importance of a smooth browsing experience for users. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, 2025, priced at £395.99, or £429.99 with a Mario Kart World bundle. Nintendo aims to improve loading speeds and browsing with the new eShop design.

No, the Nintendo Switch 2 will not include music in its eShop to ensure a distraction-free browsing experience focused on gameplay videos.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is highly anticipated as the next generation of Nintendo's popular console. Following the success of its predecessor, the Switch, which revolutionized portable gaming, the Switch 2 is expected to offer enhanced graphics, improved performance, and a broad library of titles, making it appealing to both new and returning fans alike.
