I wonder if part of this is that the Switch 1 was hurt by Unity/etc slop and lazy AAA ports, so Nintendo wants to manage that better for the Switch 2. The Switch 2 doesn't have many games but it is also refreshingly free of hentai match-three games. Likewise Cyberpunk on the Switch 2 is dazzling, but even the trailer for Star Wars Outlaws seems to have performance issues. It would make sense that Nintendo wants to limit the number of unflattering comparisons between AAA games on the Switch 2 vs the Steam Deck.
I don't think Nintendo is going to go "Seal of Quality" but it would be nice if the Switch 2-filtered eShop was not full of cynical trash. The ease of publishing for the Switch 1 was new for Nintendo, and it was welcomed at the time, but in retrospect they went too far.
This makes me sad, as I played super Mario world on one of the first imported consoles in uk, have snes, n64, game cube, Wii, Wii u, switch and switch2.. each of them had awesome launch titles and follow ups... switch 2 seems.... empty?

Wouldn't recommend tbh, yet.
