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.

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).

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.

Does this mean we can download save files from the internet and put it in the sd card and have other people their saves?

Nope

The masterkey was changed, isn't it ?

you can't transfer saves to the sd card. I wish we could. then, I wouldn't be so paranoid. I already had a switch die and fail while still under warranty, but I lost all saves. the only ones I haven't gotten back are octopath traveler (still in the chapter 1s again) and mega man x6 (100% is a nightmare with the reploids either dying or going missing).

 

[Teletron1]

no you can move a game from internal to sd
game save is still stuck on system unless you do a system transfer

 

[godreborn]

I wish you could mass download your saves from the eshop. I did a system transfer to the animal crossing switch, and then I left my other, original switch downstairs for ring fit adventures mostly. however, I don't like having to download the saves manually. gotta do it again with the animal crossing switch when I'm done playing downstairs. I mean what if you forget and an older save is uploaded to the eshop. so far that hasn't happened to me, but I can see it happening just in general.

Cool, they're starting to catch up, and it only took 3 years this time.

Maybe next year they'll rediscover what anti-aliasing is.

I don't play it portable, a lot of people don't, so what if I don't? Why limit users to expensive SD cards? 400 GB and 1 TB cards are expensive as hell. I'm sorry that I don't like portable gaming that much.

well, these cards are dropping in price all the time, you can get 400GB card for a quite good price these days, and for most people that should be enough to last them a good while.

Unless you are made of money to buy enough games till fill it up. /in which case you can probably afford the 1TB card anyway), Or if you are a pirate who download everything just for the sake if filling your console with as many games as you can just because you can.

If yoy have a hacked system I think SXOS supports external HDD and I believe there is progress on that feature for Atmosphere as well.

A nice video with all the new features.

Would be nice to just have patch notes listed like ps4 does for their games.

Do you realize half of those ps4 games does not even use this? They basically send you a note for you to go see on their website for more info and most of the time it is stability , their is a couple games that still leave good update info but it seems after a while they stop pushing them. I would love first if they make it easier to access it and maybe devs will start using that option even more.

 

[CharlesHoy]

This update might make the Nes-cons more useable!

 

[uludag]

If this lets me remap the dpad of 8bitdo's SF30Pro to movement in Smash, I'm going to be so damn happy. Switch recognizes it as a Pro Controller, so it might be possible.

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

Well still, anything is better than not even allowing you to visit the website from the game for patch notes. Even some games give you Patch notes when loading after updates. PS4 just have them listed as "Extra info" when looking at the games on the menu. As long as I Don't Need to use a PC or a Phone to access the info, that's all that should matter. It should be accessible from the console you're playing on.

I believe this means we can finally invert Luigi's Mansion 3. Isn't it nice how I just picked it up again after months and I'm on the 12th floor and almost done with it.... oh well.

Users can now transfer downloadable software, update data, and DLC from the system memory to an SD card (and vice versa).
