They said early 2018 ...this does not mean first two weeks of January.

I mean, they gave Steam this nice title card.
And then Nintendo UK's website has this lovely square art.
So it's a little baffling in that regard.
So isn't this mock-up better? I mean, really?
That game is still coming out? I played the demo and it was janky as hell.
Yeah I'm sure he appreciated very worthwhile complaints about an icon rather than appreciation for the game itself.
I can do both. I'm buying the game, like I did with steamworld dig 2, and I'm also gonna whine endlessly about how tacky the icon looks.
not because I'm angry, but because it looks bad
If a band releases an album with art you don't particularly enjoy, do you pester them to change it in a future pressing?
This whole thing is very silly and it's absurd that developers are caving to what is undoubtedly an incredibly small group of people who actually care about it.
Not quite the most apt comparison considering album art is ranked, judged, prodded, and put on a pedestal all the time in both the mainstream and in casual conversation. The artists use that opportunity to make a statement, to have a bit of fun, or to flex their creativity in a different format. By design it is to create a conversation, to attract, to engage with consumers and fans. Artists will include liner art or notes describing the decision process and choice made in coming up with their covers. They will go on radio or have interviews to defend or describe how the art came to fruition, sometimes when fans push back. The case isn't universal for all artists for sure, but for many, album art is akin to making as large a statement as the music itself.
If you want to make the argument that the icons for Switch tiles undergo the same level of care and filters and we should respect the decisions, then you'll need a better argument to defend some of the examples we've seen. Is the decision so sacred that it belies criticism? Just put on a muzzle you twats and let the poor publisher that had to toss out whatever to abide by the Switch ecosystem stand proud!
Cmon now...sounds like whatever is chosen won't bother you one whit. You made that point, so proceed to be content and let the rest of us air our grievances in peace.
Maybe ease off on painting me THAT vitriolic. Jesus, haha.
People do critique album art, yes. I don't care that some of you have issues with some of the icons. What I find extremely silly and infantile are the tweets and nagging. It's ridiculous and entitled. "I don't like how your thing looks on my video game machine! Change it!!!!"
But you're right about the last part. I don't really care what the icons are, so go ahead and air your grievances (and send silly tweets) in peace. God speed.
It's obvious in almost all of these Switch cases that the developer just didn't put much thought into the icon. It's literally like putting an image file into a bucket when you send your game off for submission to Nintendo, and I think some of them just find any old image, slap it into the file and send it on it's way. That's why they're often receptive to the fans asking about it, because it's almost like they themselves just didn't care what image was there, and it's not hard to fix it.If a band releases an album with art you don't particularly enjoy, do you pester them to change it in a future pressing?

Most bands take care in what their album cover looks like. I don't think the two situations are comparable.
The torch is actually critical. One of the best mechanics.Yeah that's really bad. A torch? I haven't played the game but from gameplay I've seen there's so much more to this game than a torch lighting up the darkness.
But maybe I'm wrong and the torch is very important...
Sega plsIt's cool that we are able to effect change like this.
I just hope someone like EA or Square Enix doesn't drop the ball, cause that would be hard to get fixed.
What's the new Monkey Tavern icon look like?Yay, the Monkey Tavern icon has been updated to a much better version.
Don't hold out on usYay, the Monkey Tavern icon has been updated to a much better version.
I don't mean to beat a dead horse but whatever happened to the Snake Pass icon update? Wasn't it happening this month or was it later in 2018?
SMB is actually similar to Skyrim for me. While I'd prefer text, the image is instantly recognizable to me as being that specific game.
I think the preference from many is that they just want them to follow the guidelines set my Nintendo.Meat Boy definitely falls into that grey area where the icon is fine when taken entirely on its own merits (IMO), but the issue with it mostly stems from how it stands out in a bad way from the other icons alongside it
I don't personally feel that strongly about uniformity, so I'd be okay with the icon not changing. But I understand others' concerns.
Well, that's more or less what I'm saying. I don't feel that strongly about that per se. But I understand.I think the preference from many is that they just want them to follow the guidelines set my Nintendo.
I know I'd be happy that way.
I agree. I would like all of my icons to have text, but there have been a couple textless ones that still look pretty nice on my software screen.Well, that's more or less what I'm saying. I don't feel that strongly about that per se. But I understand.
Like, to elaborate a bit, I don't think pubs necessarily need to follow those guidelines. I think they are good guidelines which exist for good reasons. However I feel exceptions can be permissible on a case by case basis.
I really dislike Hamster's icons for their retro releases. It sucks more because the Xbox One versions actually use artwork from the games, while the PS4 & Switch use screenshots from the game itself.
Currently mocking up a bunch for what they really should be.
