Kind of unrelated but I like how Wario was usually the image for Games on Sale on the Wii U eShop. It's Toad right now.

Wario needs those savings.
 
Great! Much better than my methods of just wishlisting games I'm interested in and checking it periodically to see if anything is on sale.
 
Guess we can expect a black friday/holiday sale soon. Hopefully its at least 30-60% off some games and not 15 or 20%.
 
Okay now all they need is "New Add-on Content", "All Games", "All Add-ons", and filters for "Date of Release" and "A-Z". Then they'll be on par with the bare minimum of what I expect from a store front.
 
Good, small update to the eshop. It will help me to see when my wishlist games are on sale. Slowly, 1 feature at a time, Nintendo is making the Switch eshop more complete.

Does "View All" not show all games? Viewed it a couple days ago and it had 174 items and was all sorted by release date. Didn't bother seeing if I could sort any other way, since I just wanted to see what was added since the last time I looked.

Would be nice to have "Add Ons" though. Don't recall seeing an option for that.
 
Nice! I mean, sales aren't usually too strong in the eShop, but I've made some good impulse purchases there to blindly play with friends.

Good.

Now please add eshop music.

I know. They nailed it for 4 systems in a row; I'm surprised they didn't try.

That would be nice. So far I have only bought BoTW... I would like some good digital game sales. I am getting Mario Odysesy and Xenoblade 2 tho

Need to get me some indie games

Pretty sure "all games", "filter by date" and "A-Z" exist.

Where exactly is View All? This is a serious question, not a snarky one. Every time I go on the eShop and I want to find something that isn't brand new I find that I have to use search!
 
Little by little, Switch is evolving. It's nice to see these little improvements. I'm very curious what the next major OS update will bring and how Nintendo's online service will affect the OS and eShop (if at all).

Whenever I view new releases and get to the end of that (usually short) list there's a view all link. From there I believe you can sort by release date, by price, and if I'm not mistaken by name.

Go the bottom of the Recent Releases screen. It'll say 'View All'.
 
Took them long enough.

Now add a highlights tab with a more visually interesting layout and a categories tab (essentially just filled with shortcuts to specific categorised searches that the eshop can already do) and we're golden.

Oh and add a shopping cart too.

Still waiting on Demos. You get games like Oceanhorn randomly adding demos and you'd never know unless you looked for eShop updates online.
