You can now use the store in dark mode as long as your system is set to that theme. Oh, and there&#8217;s the small matter of Nintendo overhauling the eShop. Browsing the games now feels much faster and more responsive.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As noted by <em>Vooks<\/em> (by way of <em>Kotaku<\/em>), the Switch version of the eShop is now a native app rather than a web-based experience. After testing it out on both consoles, the eShop remains a bit faster on the Switch 2 \u2014 better hardware will see to that. Still, this update will make a world of difference to those who are still rocking a Switch. It&#8217;s a shame it took Nintendo nearly a decade to get the eShop to this point, especially after a ton of folks have already moved to the Switch 2, but we&#8217;ll take it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:3t2o7uv4yzl7gg3wuo37ofpc\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3moeog2ix4s2q\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiaw7f7ig2ru4rdqhhe42niauxmd4i4gx6vq5f3necexxcpxkp7k2e\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Look at it gooooooo<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daniel Vuckovic (@vook64.bsky.social) 2026-06-16T01:45:12.357Z<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The company made some other useful changes with this update, such as being able to lock the eShop with a PIN. You can protect saved payment methods with a PIN as well. Elsewhere, you&#8217;ll be able to skip forward and back through full-screen videos 10 seconds at a time in the eShop and the News app with the ZL and ZR buttons.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2195530\/nintendo-switch-update-makes-the-eshop-much-more-responsive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original Switch&#8217;s storefront finally supports dark mode too. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Igor Bonifacic\/Engadget Nintendo has deployed an update for the Switch that brings a long-awaited&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61347,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4348,2830,24886,255,2622],"class_list":["post-61346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-eshop","tag-nintendo","tag-responsive","tag-switch","tag-update","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
