Somehow, Nintendo Switch is already three years old. It launched on March 3, 2017, and it's proven to be a truly fantastic system, with an extensive library of great games, including a few with PC cross-save support that effectively turn Switch into a portable extension of your gaming PC. We've already had one of the hardware revisions you'd expect from a Nintendo system, and system updates released over the past few years have introduced some new functionality. However, none of those updates have brought with them an essential ingredient that's been missing since Day One.

I'm speaking, of course, about the lack of music on the Eshop. This may not be as practical as another of the Switch features that I've also been asking for over the past few years--folder support--but that's not what's important. Part of what made everyone love to shop on the Wii Shop every Wednesday, aside from the presence of the Virtual Console, was that truly catchy groovin'... like a bossa nova beat that accompanied the experience. Wii U had its own shopping music which actually changed at times, signaling that someone at Nintendo did actually care about this.

Cut to the launch of the Switch--a system where buying digital games exclusively makes a ton of sense--and there was nothing. Bring up the Eshop and you'd be greeted with an interface as spartan and utilitarian as the system's menus. There have been some improvements since launch, such as the addition of a way to browse the available game demos, but the Eshop can still nonetheless be laggy and unpleasant to use. And you know what would make it better? Some freakin' music.
