Nintendo's Approach to UI Design (ft. TriNintendo) - #363

We're getting into the nitty gritty on Nintendo's UI & UX design sensibilities this week with special guest TriNintendo! How has UI in video games evolved over the years, from utility to flashiness and beyond? Did Nintendo lose some of its old charm or innovation in the Switch era? We cover it all from a designer's perspective. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as unreleased Virtual Boy games finally coming to the Switch 2's Nintendo Classics NSO service, a leaked ESRB rating and potential release date for the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, an interview with Turnip Mountain developer Luke Sanderson, and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing. Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:05:07 News & Rumors 0:23:40 Turnip Mountain Dev Interview 0:33:30 Nintendo's UI/UX Design 1:14:15 Games We're Playing Tri's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TriNintendo HYPER DEBT SWAP: https://magooster1000.itch.io/hyperdebtswap Turnip Mountain: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/turnip-mountain-switch Discord: https://discord.com/invite/CWbF4gb Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/switchheadz Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SuperSwitchHeadz/ Website: https://www.switchheadz.com/ Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SwitchHeadzClips
