Nintendo Switch UI redesign

Nintendo UI - Case Study

I've always had a personal issue with how "boring" (subjective opinion) the Nintendo switch UI looks. Although it's very effective in terms of usability, I believe it could do with an update on the aesthetic side.

This project had me explore a more modern design with easy to identify visual cues while maintaining the simplistic and effectiveness of the original UI design.

These updates includes the addition of:

  • wallpaper

  • rounded corner buttons

  • game selection that implements theming visual cue

  • an addition of a weather notification to keep players updated especially for time-zone games (Animal Crossing)

  • The use of size and border highlight for selection feedback
