Nintendo Pulls Switch Game User Reviews


The feature may return, but it's unclear when and in what state.

Last week, Nintendo added an option for players to review Nintendo Switch games directly on their official Nintendo pages. Unfortunately, that option is now gone.

As Polygon reports, the feature was abruptly removed today, just five days after it launched. Switch games still have customer review tabs on Nintendo's site, but an explanatory blurb now stands in their place. Here's the full version explaining what happened:

"Customer reviews have been taken offline as we evaluate this feature and its functionality. We currently have no estimated date on when an update will be provided. We appreciate the positive response and thank the reviewers who provided such thoughtful commentary on the games."

In a statement to Polygon, Nintendo called the now-removed review system a "trial." It's possible the feature will be revamped and re-released, but there's been no confirmation.

The possibility of a return has many players calling for an improved review system. Previously, players could only choose from limited, general tags and categories such as "intuitive controls," "graphics" and "immersive" when writing reviews.

Questions are also swirling around the future of Nintendo Switch online, the system's paid online subscription service. You can read up on everything we do and don't know about the Nintendo online service.
