Nintendo Life has introduced the ‘Better eShop’, aiming to enhance the shopping experience for Nintendo Switch users. This initiative addresses common frustrations with the official eShop, such as limited content filters, discoverability issues, and the absence of user reviews.

The Better eShop offers features including content filters, improved discoverability, user reviews, faster loading times, a shopping cart, and background music. While it links to Nintendo’s official marketplace for purchases, it provides a more user-friendly interface for browsing. Nintendo Life plans to add wishlist functionality, screenshots, and more in the future.
It’s worth noting that Nintendo has been criticized for its handling of the eShop, with developers calling for action against ‘cheap fakes’ and other issues.
