Nintendo Switch Update 22.5.0 Adds Dark Mode eShop
Nintendo has officially released system update 22.5.0 for both the original Switch and Switch 2. The update introduces a redesigned eShop layout, dark mode integration, and security PINs.
The Switch 2 is the fastest-selling Nintendo hardware ever and launched at 49 for the console alone. Nintendo does not do Game Pass, does not drop prices quickly, and does not explain most of its platform decisions. What it does is release some of the most polished games in the industry on a schedule entirely its own. Nintendo coverage here tracks Switch 2 hardware updates, Nintendo Switch Online additions, first-party release dates, and eShop changes. That includes Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, the Metroid pipeline, and whatever Nintendo announces with as little advance notice as it always does. Coverage also tracks the pricing decisions, the games that skip a platform without explanation, and the online infrastructure that still lags behind what PS5 and Xbox offer.
