It doesn't work like that unfortunately. If I checked correctly you can't make the zoom hud dissapear while using it
You actually can after locking with one press on the home button, at least with nes classics
oops, you're right. i thought it just gives you a static view.
in view all games, there's a a button at the bottom that takes you to the redownload section of eshop.
the UI for cloud backup in settings has changed a little
Yeah good step in the right direction. Most played function helps a ton sorting the games I like the most so
i don't know why but i thought maybe by sorting by time played the [shitty] activity log will also show games sorted by time played :(
also good to see which games you haven't touched and need to get to, if you have a lot of games
This doesn't work because the zoom UI doesn't go away while you're playing. It uselessly stays visible, taking up 10% of the screen and burning your oleds.
Open the view of all of your games (the option at the very far right of the games list in the main menu), and press R to see the sorting options.
not even that, the bare minimum they could do is make it show all the games, not just the 20 most recent played ones, and be able to sort by time.
To be fair, the "All software" section still looks like someone just barfed a bunch of games.
I want more rigid sorting, folders, favorite games, etc.

Or it could be made to accomodate people who already have several consoles with their accounts on. You already could transfer save data before, but not on a game per game basis.
(Not saying new Switch models aren't coming, it's just that this particular functionality doesn't strike me as confirming them)
It certainly makes owning multiple Switches more viable, which is something Nintendo might want to encourage with the new revisions coming.
If you have zoom in, it's delayed to give you time to double tap.
I haven't tried it yet as my Switch is not near me, but this is apparently huge for someone like me. There are some text heavy games where the text is very, very small (e.g. Goetia, and, while I have yet to play it, Vaporum). I really enjoyed Goetia but I had to resort to a magnifying loop for the text bits... (I play only handheld).
And if the Switch Lite will have a smaller screen, this will become even more important for more people.

Ok so chicken necks = human eye muscles
If you're interested in that I'd recommend a few early blogs on vision and VR. They talk about how to cope with humans rapid eye movement. Particularly siccades (spelling).

Yeah, many games would become unplayable with a smaller screen and while this feature helps I've been trying it now and it'll be kinda uncomfortable if you have to use it all time to read text, you'd be missing the rest of the screen.
This post prompted me to check my Labo Variety kit which gave me 60 coins. Sorry I didn't answer your question though!
Well I can't comment on it as I haven't tried it yet, but I imagine it will be far more comfortable than using a magnifying glass in handheld mode, which is what I had to do in a few games.
So, playing Goetia, I would arrive to a text area, look for my magnifying glass (which by now got lost in the bed sheets...), hold the magnifying glass in one hand while holding the Switch in another (or putting the Switch down while using the magnifying glass), rinse and repeat. I'll start playing Vaporum in the coming days , so (from what I've heard about the text size) it will be a great test for this new feature :-)
The way I see it, it is primarily for text heavy games such as RPGs, point and clicks and strategy games where a lot of lore/information is presented in small print, and while reading you don't need to look elsewhere on the screen anyway. And when finished reading a section, just turn it off.
