Having 2,000+ Nintendo Switch Games will cause icons to disappear

[DPadDoc]

Here's the article on GoNintendo about the whole Nintendo Switch icon limit discovered by a fan of the site.

Until recently, I didn't even know that the Nintendo Switch had an icon limit. The Nintendo Switch can have up to 2,000 games before games start to randomly disappear from it. The Switch's icon limit is a bit over 6½x the amount that the predecessors Nintendo 3DS and Wii U had, which was 300 for both consoles individually.

This type of limit is not something the average Nintendo Switch owner or those who play the Switch mainly for first/second party games and other exclusives et al would have to deal with. It's usually collectors and archivists who often have a grudge against icon limits of any kind.

I currently have a bit over 200 Switch games, but my collection is mainly physical even though some game cards (mainly compilations) may contain included games as separate icons (I.E.: Blaster Master Zero Trilogy: Metafight Chronicle) as opposed to just one icon (I.E.: Super Mario 3D All Stars).

Did you know about this newly discovered icon limit or no? Do you think that you will ever get over 2,000 games for the Switch at some point?

I didn't know there was an icon limit, and I have 0% chance of getting 2000 icons! Though the Nintendo 3DS did have a software limit (300 I believe), so I'm not surprised!
