Gaming Switch 4.0.0

[Sonic Angel Knight]

form the look of it that will let you send the game update to other users over local play
like
you got MK8D fully updated but you friend has not
that new option should let you updated there version to the same as yours
by you setting up the group and letting them join it

I heard about this being a thing but by the wording, it sounded like if it was something to do with the system only, like having 3 users on the system, and You have latest update version, meanwhile 2 people don't, and instead of logging into that user to update, is automatic to match the most recent one.

Though it sounds silly when i explain it since is on the same system that it should just be updated for all users on the system. They could have explained better like "Now you can share your software updates with other players locally. This allows all players to have the most recent version of a game if they don't already." Or something like that. The part about creating a group was confusing, but i guess there was never any way to actually get the switch to communicate with other systems outside of a game that supports multiplayer mode. So they added a option to do so.

Geez what's next, 3DS type stuff like pedometer, and sleep mode street pass?

Also, they've FINALLY added a way for saves to transfer from switch to switch. A big step in the right direction imo. They still need to allow save backups to a cloud or the sd card though (but that's not gonna happen).

Also pre loading games finally, yay! (Might just have to pre load Mario Odyssey)

Finally! Nintendo actually gives reason for people to update their switches and less likely to stay behind for exploits. They're learning.

The recording is only for four games. Why?

more will get added in time

I bet no one knew about being able to start pre-loading your preordered games, starting with this update.

I'ma still wait for the update that will make the Switch have more than two themes. Still I didn't expect the Switch to be powerful enough to enable screen recording, also save data transfer. Tbh I'm not really used to Nintendo delivering more than a single feature, it's overwhelming.

So wait, could this new update cause an issue when it comes to people hacking on lower firmwares? Can it cause an accidental upgrade? Maybe that's their intent?

Video capture currently not supported in Super Mario Odyssey? I predict another patch dropping very soon, unless that game was specifically omitted from the patch notes because it is technically not out yet.

Look at their wording. The notes said as of October 18th only the four games. The ability to capture Mario Odyssey might actually be in the 4.0 update, they just don't want to say because it's not out yet.

I'm sure it will be. Espeically given the time of the update release, and the fact that the game is a HUGE first party title by Nintendo.

"Transfer user and save data to another system"

That seems like a huge and overdue feature.

Transfer ("moving" from A to B) is still different from backup ("copying" from A to B or external storage). I really don't like that. At least Sony didn't force you to use their cloud service to backup your saves.

 

[hitodesu]

Browser when Nintendo? We already have pegaswitch what are you afraid of?

 

[BlackWizzard17]

Only 30 seconds of video recording? Pretty lame, should have just held off until more time could be recorded. Inb4 obvious "don't update your switch to 4.0 if you want hombrew" threads to appear

 

[hitodesu]

more will get added in time

Why can't they just have it be an all encompassing feature that records whatever your doing and stops when you please?

 

[ov3rkill]

Geez. Finally! Some new features.

I hope this updates the quality of the screen captures...

No stability improvements? Worst update evar

Well if you want a battery saving stability improvement, you get a dimmer Brightness tweak in this update.

You didn't get the joke

So have we found any new things with this update? Like, any hidden things?
