Somehow, a Nintendo Switch console has gotten out into the wild, which means the person who has the console is sharing everything. Thank you based internet. To get a first look at the Switch UI and some settings, check out the video below.
The UI looks like a typical Nintendo console of the past few years, with everything laid out plainly on a white background. The big categories at the bottom are for News, eShop, Album, Controllers, Settings and Sleep Mode. The album is where screenshots will go, news is for seeing updates to games and will likely be a place for friends to post notifications, and eShop is pretty self-explanatory. The controllers menu allows users to pair new controllers, change the grip/order, and see how much charge is left on the controllers.
As for Nintendo Switch UI settings, the typical screen brightness, parental controls and internet options are available, as well as airplane mode and amiibo settings. Users can also switch between a black and white theme for the main menu, create and manage miis, and adjust notification settings. It also seems that the Switch tablet will be able to change the settings for when you dock the console and use a TV.
The settings menu is also where the data management can be found. Speaking of data management, it looks like fresh out of the box, the Switch will only have 25.9GB of internal storage space. If you want to go digital with your games purchases on the Switch, get ready for buying more SD cards to hold all that data. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is 13.4GB. That one game alone is over 51 percent of the entire internal storage you can use.
The video creator also showed off the sleep mode. By pressing the bottom left button on the main menu, the Switch enters into sleep mode and cannot be used. To wake the Switch back up, simply press the home button, then press the home button three more times.
So what do you think? Are you happy to see this layout of the UI? What other questions do you still have about the Nintendo Switch? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
