I really love how the system sounds create a musical sense of progression (ascending clips with varying patterns), that you are getting closer and closer to setting things up successfully. It turns the OS itself into something that feels like a Nintendo title (really!).
- Inconel 10y agoThe system sounds are indeed very pleasing somehow. A number of the UI elements, namely the system settings pane, the detecting network popup, and the keyboard, have a very Android like look to my eyes. Is there much known about the underlying OS for the Switch?
- joshschreuder 10y agoFully custom OS apparently: http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/20/13346004/nintendo-took-the-guts-from-the-nvidia-shield-for-its-new-console http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/20/13346004/nintendo-took-th... Though I believe the Shield uses a form of Android, and the Switch uses a lot of Shield components so it's plausible that the Switch OS is similar to Android
- asadlionpk 10y agoCame here to say this! It's a very small but nice touch to the OS.
- poppingtonic 10y agoIt makes me think "It's happening!". It's designed to make the player more excited to finish the next step of setup. This is a very interesting reward mechanism.
- pilif 10y agoThey have done very pleasing and playful UI in the past. I remember back when I moved my virtual console data from a Wii go a WiiU. Or when I moved from a 3DS to a New 3DS. While the process took way too long and was very annoying in general, I loved the animation showing Pikmin moving blocks of data between the machines. As a technical person, I would have loved a progress bar and a data rate display even more, but a cute animation like this is text second best option I guess.
