Really makes you think. BTW they should totally add this icon to the Switch, I'm currently rolling with my Mii but I want this everywhere.
Sorry for bringing this back up, but he makes a damn good point in this interview. Switch icons are the games album art. I love how developers have started to become aware of its importance.
Oh god. Can't unsee!The Fe one looks amazing, but I hate how it's not centered.
You son of a bitch.The Fe one looks amazing, but I hate how it's not centered.
You know a while back at the old place I didn't really get why this was an issue for so many people, but now that I have a nice sized digital library on mine I totally get it lol. The latest offender for me? Darkest Dungeon, that icon is hideous! Has there been any news on whether they plan on replacing it? (sorry if this was mentioned already)
Crap, I really don't know how to add images but this link shows what it looks like:

Yes, it's awful. Luckily, a patch is coming to fix some bugs and it's confirmed they are changing the icon.
Somebody on my Friends List is playing Old Man's Journey, it has one of those epic character-stood-on-grass-looking-out-at-peaks icons. It's cool.
This has made me so happy. I've been loving the game, but that icon was horrid.
It's because, no matter how hard I try, I can't produce bad art.
I agree, but I never thought to mention it cause it's such a small thing. Beautiful artwork but the border doesn't really fit
The Fe one looks amazing, but I hate how it's not centered.
The creature is centered, but it's centered around its boundaries rather than the face.
It looks like it's permanently selected and bugs the crap out of me. But SteamWorld Heist and the original SteamWorld Dig icon's are perfect.
You're right though.. SD2's icon art is gorgeous!
Luu, you posted the old icon. They already said the day-1 update would come with the proper one:

You need to see the second one
Apparently they changed the DOOM icon to a picture of the boxart:

OMG FFV syndrome all over againThe Fe one looks amazing, but I hate how it's not centered.
Yeah, I think it will. Hopefully that gets a patch soon. They gotta' fix the audio bugs.
This seems so obvious. I don't know why a developer would present the icon as anything but album art. It is the first impression of the game on the menu, like boxart on a store shelf.
Wow, I thought this was just my OCD! Well it probably is just my OCD, but glad to see others feel the same way about these weird textless icons. I actually removed Sonic Mania once I finished it purely because the icon annoyed me so much.
Good to see there's some momentum here.

YES! New icon + motion controls = NEED!Apparently they changed the DOOM icon to a picture of the boxart:

Yep, hoping this is on the cards as it's another lazy one. Crypt of the Necrodancer is a little bleh as well, far too busy (at least they made a dedicated one though).
To be fair, they probably spent most of their time catering to mobile and PS4 gamers, who have no taste and will accept whatever crap gets tossed out... /jk
