The Switch Icon Watch Thread [~] No Logo, No Buy
- Thread starter Kyuuji
- Start date
They captured how I feel about the icon in the icon itself. :OWith Exit the Dungeon being thrown up, gotta see what the icon is, right? It's.. not good.
First look at the icon?
I legit thought of this thread the second that popped up
I almost want it to have a terrible icon just because that'd be completely inexplicable in a really funny way
lmaooo, this is fucking hilarious.Top Speed: Drag & Fast Racing is the first icon I've seen to include a HUD.
This is legit great! Nice! Take my money.Trials of Mana
Looks good as well, encapsulates the atmosphere I got from the trailer as well.First look at the icon?
Even after making a really good one for the website that would've worked.. URRGGGhhhhh
Sometimes i think Nintendo should make by default the switch home icon fetch the web one. The number of cases where the web icons looks 100% better than the home icons is huge.Even after making a really good one for the website that would've worked.. URRGGGhhhhh

I have an uncanny feeling that that's the website icon. Who knows if it'll be on the actual Switch.

I can't get used to see devs do this…Even after making a really good one for the website that would've worked.. URRGGGhhhhh
/facepalm
I'm gonna be tinfoil hat and say they purposely do this for little attention towards their game then they put the original 'better' icon later to entice buyers.
Tinfoil hat off.
Tinfoil hat off.
not for the 12.5 people who base their purchasing decision on this. they headlined a nintendo indie showcase with a shadowdrop.
wait...people don't like the Exit the Gungeon icon? I think its great, especially right next to Enter the Gungeon.
edit: oh i guess the original enter the gungeon icon changed...

With Enter the Gungeon's icon looking so great, I didn't think twice to buy Exit. Fucking tricked me good. I can't BELIEVE how bad it is. Already left a message to them on twitter about it.Exit the Gungeon......
Y'all could have waited for the instantaneous Robin's update, but you didn't.
Arturo At this point, I think this is Nintendo's fault, they just don't bother in the slightest. They did guidelines and boy, they must be full in place nowadays because when you go to the website every damn icon is fine af.
Why don't tell publishers: "Ok, you messed around enough. Remember those guidelines for how your game's icon should be? Now apply the same shit to the home menu icon"
It's just so, so baffling

I've always thought it may have something to do with the documentation? I mean, some of the games' pages icons are fantastic (Exit the Gungeon i. e.). Why do devs decide to use those mobile version icons instead? It's baffling indeed…
sometimes i feel good for buying a game in spite of the icon being garbage
but then i dont
:(
silly sure, but I'm never in that dire of a need for a new game to play when it comes down to it
The secret is there's always ten million games to buy. $10 I don't spend on Exit the Gungeon because the icon offends me is $10 I probably spend on another game in like a week lol.
Apparently a patch has been submitted with "lots of feedback" addressed, but we'll have to wait and see if that includes the icon.
So.
(Plenty more new ones in the usual place, and yes I've checked every single game that just got announced, so if it's not there, it's not up yet.)

Oh, shit. I had totally forgotten Bravely Default II was a thing. Nice.
Both are lovely icons.So.

For those curious:
Could be better, but it's fine. From your comment I thought it was gonna be a dragon with no logo.
Wanba Warriors
We should have a contest to replicate this icon.
This is the style Octopath Traveler's icon should have had. Can't believe it will never be updated.
I think the percentage of gamers who actively don't purchase a game they want to play because an icon isn't up to their liking is way, way, way lower than you're thinking.
Not sure if there was a problem before, but I am able to access it now.

So sad...
Edit: As usual, the website icon is perfect :
