Nintendo Rolls Out New eShop Publishing Guidelines for Switch 2 in Asia, Seemingly to Curb Spam Games - IGN

Nintendo has quietly made some subtle changes to its guidelines for developers publishing games on its Nintendo Switch 2 eShop, seemingly in an effort to slow an oft-criticized flood of low-effort “slop” content that's been crowding out other games and frustrating users.

    Hopefully they can manage to stem the flow on the eShop. The shovelware problem is worse than it was on the Wii. However, I have noticed recently on my Switch 2 (also maybe on Switch 1 eShop as well now?) that a lot of those sorts of games aren’t flooding the front page all the time, which is a good sign. They probably changed some of the algorithms, as I think they were tuned to show newest releases first.

      They changed the sorting a little while back, which reduced the problem.

      Hopefully things will get even better.
