alienboyva Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Not sure why Nintendo would feel the need to rebrand the Switch eShop. The eShop was a nice unified brand they could use across all current and future systems. It's definitely better that just calling it the "Wii Shop" or the "DSi Shop". Calling it the Nintendo Switch Online Shop could cause some confusion with some people thinking you need a Nintendo Switch Online membership to use it. I really hope this doesn't mean that are planning to shutdown the eShop. Edited December 13, 2018 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) I hope this isn't the case... Then (if it's what I'm thinking it is...) a lot of people would be left in the cold. I just tried to view that on Twitter and ran into this 'rate limit exceeded' which is bullshit... as I haven't even been on Twitter today! Just logged in and it let me view it. Hate their new set up, as I don't always want to log in. Edited December 13, 2018 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Call it whatever you want, I got my 3DS repaired back and redownloaded my Ambassador games and FourSwords Anniversary Edition. They can now change it for all I care. Quote Link to comment

Though, I think rebranding the Switch eShop to the Nintendo Switch Online Shop is a bad idea. It would cause confusion for some people thinking that you need NSO to use it.

I hope you're right about it. Exactly. It makes no sense. Only thing I can tell so far is that it recommends friends from Wii U and 3DS too. So a consolidation thing. That said, I'd hate if they'd think that everyone has a Switch and would buy games from there now and not from the other systems. It just seems far too confusing as it is. Like a repeat of the Wii/Wii U fiasco. Edited December 13, 2018 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment
DranSeasona Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Agreed, if this is true it would be a silly thing to do, as clarity is always better than confusion for things like this. This MAY be one of those additional NSO features that was rumoured at before. As in, maybe you could get better deals on games in the eShop with an NSO subscription? Just a thought.

Fuzzer1 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 What would this mean for the 3DS eShop? Quote Link to comment
purple_beard Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A few thoughts... Why change it form the eShop? Why make it a NSOShop? And with NSO, wouldn't this be a bad way to brand online and your digital shop? --Even I admit that NSO in terms of usage is like.... I'm doing something with these NES titles. Is this a way to expand the titles to other systems for NSO? Does the change mean the end of 3DS digital titles? Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 They really haven't learned from their naming mistakes if this is true. The eshop doesn't need to replaced, but remodeled, making it easier to find games and easier access. Doc Brown and alienboyva 2 Quote Link to comment

And I'm betting that would backfire. Word. It's fine as it is name wise, it just needs to be streamlined as a site. Art_de_Cat 1 Quote Link to comment
Laclipsey Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Y'know what? I think it's just obtuse and confusing enough for it to be true. Quote Link to comment
