A system software update is available, would you like to update now? Nintendo put out a new firmware version for the Nintendo Switch today, adding a bit more than the typical stability we're used to. Version 10.0.0 brings some new features to the system, including the ability to remap your controllers and save custom layouts for Joy-Cons, Switch Pro Controllers, and the Switch Lite buttons. There's also a new section in the system settings that lets you toggle displaying your play data to others, or deleting it outright. Those that want to spice up their profile icons can do so, with six new Animal Crossing: New Horizons images that have been added. Another useful feature in 10.0.0 also allows users to transfer games from their system storage to a micro SD card, or the other way around. This works for game data, updates, and DLC, but it does not work for transferring save files to an SD.

Ver. 10.0.0 (Released April 13, 2020)
Added a bookmark feature to News.
This feature allows you to bookmark your favorite news items.

• A maximum of 300 news items can be bookmarked.
• An internet connection is required to view bookmarked News items.
• News items that are no longer available cannot be viewed, even if they were bookmarked.

Added an option to transfer software data between the system memory and an SD card.

• Users can now transfer downloadable software, update data, and DLC from the system memory to an SD card (and vice versa).
• Note that save data and some update data cannot be transferred to an SD card.

Added an option to remap the controller buttons.

• Analog stick and button configurations can now be changed for each paired controller.
• Custom configurations can be saved as favorites in System Settings > Controllers and Sensors.
  • Custom configurations are stored on the Nintendo Switch system.
  • Configurations can be customized for the following controllers: Joy-Con (L), Joy-Con (R), Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Button configurations can also be customized on the Nintendo Switch Lite system.
  • This feature is not available for other controllers.
  • On each system, up to five favorite custom configurations can be saved for Joy-Con (L), five for Joy-Con (R), five for Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Five configurations can also be saved as favorites for Nintendo Switch Lite.

Added a new section in User Settings for Play Activity Settings.

• The options for "Display play activity to:" and "Delete Play Activity" have been moved from Friends Settings to the new Play Activity Settings.

Added new selections to the lineup of user profile icons.

• Select from 6 new icons from the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game for your user.

General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

maybe i should buy a switch, although it has been released 3 years ago and i think nintendo is gonna release a new console in 2 years. What do you guys think?

2 years is a looooong time so go buy one

Good plan wait until everyone's dead

Have you tried starting the controller while pushing the X-button? It should then behave as a XBOX controller. Maybe this can help.

It won't connect to Switch with Start+X, pretty sure that's only for PC and other bluetooth devices.

I think maybe we'll get Switch Pro in 1-2 years, but it'll be a minimum of another 4 years before their next console. Especially given that Switch is still selling so well that it's out of stock in a lot of places.

Not switch mode so it will not connect to a switch

Are there new encryption keys for this update?

[Deleted member 514389]

Phew, good thing I checked the temp so early today.
Wouldn't want either NAND to hit me with Updatenag.

Dang.

But considering the 9.2.0 -> 10.0 jump and these new features has got me wondering:
Is Ninty up to something big ? (Releasewise ?)

Can't find verified info, has masterkey changed since 9.0.1 or not.

I guess it was changed.

 

[fvig2001]

They added support for 5 types of ram probably for the next revision.

I wont buy it unless it is very powerful system and a third party supporting then I would buy it. I doubt it is powerful enough and there wont be brand new AAA 3rd party supporting for it. I hope that I am wrong but I will be watching Nintendo's next system.

Do I regret buying Nintendo Switch ? No, I am glad to have it because it is very cool and I am huge fan of Nvidia. So I am good to go. I do admit that it is VERY underpowered system and weak but it is very nice looking and nice to look at daily. That's about it.

I mean...third party devs already support Switch. Definitely far more than they supported Wii U. Just goes to show that developers will go wherever the players are, and it's impossible to ignore a console that sells upward of 50 million units. Hell, it might break 100 mil and end up outselling Wii.

Would I use it as my primary gaming platform? No, but that's ultimately irrelevant. The fact that it appeals to people who already own other systems is and will continue to be a big part of its success.

 

[Reecey]

Atmosphere supports 10.0 firmware already, if you make the files from the source code it should work ok he hasn’t released a general package yet that’s all.

LOL! No.. Those are only ported games from previously PS3/PS4. Not a brand new AAA games, mind you. They wont release a brand new AAA games for it or it will have to be downgraded graphics. It is so underpowered system, you know. Only ported are possible and that's about it.

 

[Xzi]

What are Doom Eternal, The Outer Worlds, and Trials of Mana if not new AAA games? I didn't say every single new AAA game is on Switch, but the support from third-party devs is still much improved compared to Nintendo's last two consoles. The more units it sells, the more third-party support it will continue to gain. With how scalable most game engines are these days, I can guarantee even a number of PS5 and XBSX games will be ported to Switch.

Those are very nice games but I prefer PS4 games like Death Stranding (Awesome graphics and very realistic), Rise of the Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy 7 remake, Resident Evil 2-3, Sekiro - Shadows Die twice, And more. Those are impossible for Nintendo Switch. If they want those on Switch then they would be downgrade and however it will NEVER happened. Maybe for the next system might be possible but it will be port games again for the next system. Nah.

The ports are great for people who do not have a PS4/XBOX at all. However, I do have PS4. And I do not need port games for my Nintendo Switch, thought. And I dont liked the downgrade graphics. Too ruin, to be honest. I don't mind for the backup games piracy if I want to if I dont have it on my PS4.

 

[Xzi]

Those are not great games except Doom Eternal, to be honest.

That's entirely a matter of opinion, and a very different discussion. You asked about third-party support and I provided examples to show that Switch has it.

I don't think any of these games would be impossible to port, it's just a matter of motivation. And of course they'd require graphical downgrades, but that's the trade-off for having modern AAA titles playable on a portable system that doesn't break the bank.

Right, that's what I said in my first reply. I personally wouldn't use Switch for my primary gaming platform, that's what my PC is for, but I'm not going to be insulting or dismissive to anybody who does use it as their primary platform. Just as I won't insult you for claiming to prioritize graphics despite the fact that you play on PS4, which runs most games on medium settings at 1080p/30 FPS.

(In case my sig is unreadable, I also own a PS4 btw. )

Okay...

Yea... your sig is readable at least to me: Playstation 4 - Latest OFW. And mine is 5.05 and soon 6.20 hackable.
