# SW1/TCH OS - ARKOTYPE by Dan Clarke > The purpose of this project is to explore an evolution of the Nintendo Switch OS / Interface and investigate the following: > > - A: Explore / develop visual foundations to serve as a basis for a new design language. > - B: Create an interface to better represent the personality of Nintendo and their products. > - C: Ideate new features to enhance the user experience and 'delight' players. I've been a fan of Dan's for years. His design and sensibilities speak to me. You may recognize his work with [Polytron](https://arkotype.co/project/polytron), *[C-Smash VRS](https://arkotype.co/project/csmash-vrs)*, and a [slew](https://arkotype.co/project/pm151) of [delightful](https://arkotype.co/project/smw-025) [concepts](https://arkotype.co/project/pt). Right before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct two weeks ago, Dan shared this concept for a new UI/UX for the Switch's operating system. I wish I hadn't seen it, because now it is all I want, especially when the Switch 2 is also devoid of any charm. I mean, look at this.    The last one is even better [in motion](https://x.com/Arkotypeco/status/1912486031284203709). I miss charm and personality in my video game consoles. When Sony did the [30th anniversary themes](https://x.com/PlayStation/status/1884979891067863448) for PS5, that was a revelation. The outcry at their impermanence seemed to [wake Sony up though](https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-yanking-ps5s-playstation-anniversary-console-themes-soon-but-says-theyll-be-back). Gosh I miss the [*Firewatch* PS4 Theme](https://youtube.com/watch?v=WlOt4owB06o). I long for the days of [Update Day](https://youtube.com/watch?v=B_qnI1WrlnU). These are devices for primarily for playing games. We use the technology every day. I think these things could use a little more personality and joy.
