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.

EDIT: Atmosphere users can expect a new update by the end of today.

FF7 has always been over hyped/overrated I played it on PS1 it was okay but it wasn't the best game ever. (My opinion) I just dont know why they praise this game being action RPG but they dragged FF15 in the ground (for being action RPG).

Waiting for a next gen console for a few years isnt wrong especially if you have tons of backlog unless you like buying things and never finishing older games.

FF15 was released incomplete storywise and characters lacked info. Heck they even advertised the game being able to play each character, we had to wait almost a year just to get that ability. FF7 Re battle system should have been what 15 was suppose to be.

button remapping huh?

how many PS/xbox diehards will swap A+B and X+Y?

Literally the first thing that came to mind for me. I get so annoyed when switching between systems

Dataminer Mike Heskin took a good look at the 10.0.0 firmware, discovering that it adds preliminary support for a new hardware model. 3 of the 5 new DRAM profiles are for this new hardware type and it seems like there is evidence that this new model will feature a secondary display.

"Firmware 10.0.0 adds preliminary support for a new hardware model: "nx-abcd".
3 of the 5 new DRAM profiles are for this new hardware type and there's evidence of a secondary display of sorts being added exclusively on this model."

To be honest hacking the switch is what makes it the best handheld (this is my opinion) I did read that you also only play it in the dock. The switch isn't really a console it's technically a handheld you can just dock it to a TV. I guess Switch is the main console that you play? I like Nintendo don't get me wrong it's just when I'm home I'll be playing my Xbox and I mainly plan Nintendo on the go.

Like others and I said in a seperate post all of these features of 10.0.0 should have been on firmware 1.0.0. We still really have no multimedia, streaming services (besides hulu) and a web browser. That's why modding your switch have alot of perks. I honestly would have never bought one if I couldn't mod it.

It's a hybrid system, I don't play it portable mode because it gives me a bit of eyestrain, given how close I hold it to my face. So yeah, sorry to those who are trying to convince me to play in portable mode, besides, I like my Switch coming out of my 500 W speaker setup, sooooo not happening.

Well, this is unexpected. I can't say I've ever wished for button remapping on the Switch, but I suppose it'll be useful to some. Seems a bit out of the blue though, especially since they rarely add new features.
There are many other features I would like to see on the Switch that many other people also want, such as theme support, instead they choose to add something no one asked for. Or was this a heavily requested feature and I just missed the masses of people crying out for it?

When are they adding some Pokemon icons? The list seems to be severely lacking in that. I was sure they would add some once Sword and Shield released but nope. Every other Nintendo franchise is represented well as icons, but for some reason not Pokemon.

Can it disable analog sticks?

While i do really want themes, Button Mapping and Moving to the SD are just way more essential, particularly moving to the SD, which for some dumb reason wasn't there from the start.

As someone who likes playing split Joy-Con, giving SL/SR functionality is neat.

 

[medoli900]

> Allow to remap button
"Yeeesss. I finally can play all those game that has useless features mapped to ZR, but a critical one on ZL on my GC Controller."
> Only allow Joycon and Gamepad Pro
"Well fuck you too."

Oh yes, moving to SD is a no brainer and I'm amazed that wasn't there from the beginning.
Button remapping though just doesn't seem that important to me, the games are designed for the Switch button layout already and all the ingame button namings are correct for the Switch layout, it's not like on PC where different controllers (non-Xinput) have different layouts (button numbering...) and many games are not designed with controller support in mind so you need to be able to do button mapping to even play those with a controller. So I see no point in remapping them, unless you are handicapped and have trouble with certain buttons, or need to play one handed, but there are better solutions out there for those people. Sure, it's nice to have in some cases, for example I like the confirm/A button to be mapped to L or ZL so I can hold the Switch in one hand to play RPGs and such and have a drink, a vape or whatever with my other hand, but I can do just fine without it, and many games already support that anyways. I'm not saying it's not useful, it just doesn't seem like something the majority care about, unlike theme support.

I bought a Lite with the intention of selling the regular one....My vision is not great and couldn't see shit in Zelda for example, specially at night in the game so I'll be playing in TV mode the rest of Switch's life.

Wow you really want people to hate you with your comments. Zelda BotW , Mario Odyssey, etc, are NOT handheld games.

You could make an argument about BotW not being a handheld game, since it's a WiiU game that also launched on Switch (not the other way around) but Mario Oddysey is straight up a handheld game. It's designed specifically for handheld play and the switch is just a handheld that can connect to a tv, so, technically the Switch is NOT a home console, just a handheld that can connect to the TV (like the PSP, Nomad, etc).

Nah, it has 900p/1080p in most games, with better graphics/fps sometimes docked. It's more powerful than a Wii U that was more powerful than a 360...which is a console with HD graphics. They just used underpowered hardware compared to PS4/Xbone to make it also a handheld.

 

[Nucatini]

It's cool that I can remap the buttons on the controller now.

 

[HarveyHouston]

About dang time on the SD card thing!

Take a look at the switch lite it is a handheld and most the switch games play on it without any graphical downgrades to them thats why I call them handheld games because they are played on a handheld. OG Switch is a bigger version just with vibration and bells and whistles but you can still play it in your hand or put it on a dock to get that 1080p output.

It's a hybrid system.

Politically correct yes it is a hybrid system. Just from personal experience a good handful of people sell switches without the dock but it doesn't take anything away from the switch with the exceptions that you cant connect it to the TV. I rarely connect my OG switch to the dock it was convenient to play it on handheld. The good thing I like about the lite is that it is small and portable the OG switch was kinda a hassle to take due to the size. I guess what I'm saying is this if you have a laptop it is technially a laptop right but if you connect it to your TV you can use your laptop as a desktop if you connect your Keyboard and mouse. Do you call it a desktop because you connected it to your TV no you wouldn't do that.

Does it matter? I mean really? Gimme a freaking break already, I get it, but stop hounding me on semantic bullshit already.

"Oh no, people use a hybrid system on their TV as a console and not portable device, let's castigate him!"

You think I fucking care?

 

[64bitmodels]

I'm sure they won't, we'll just be stuck with SD cards that'll never exceed 2 TB when HDDs have already reached 10, 16, and eventually 20 TB levels, that'll sure work well.

the largest switch games are 32-16 gb, wtf do you need a 20tb hdd for?? are you storing the entire eshop on that drive????

Also, what's the point of owning a switch if youre just going to use it in docked anyway? Switch as a console experience is mostly pretty lackluster and dare i say mediocre. It's the portability (and hybrid factor) that sells the system. If you only really want the switch in docked just play a PS4 or something
finally,

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?

Nintendo releasing a new system in 2 years is really unlikely considering that the switch is selling like hotcakes and has the potential to outsell the DS. i'd say it'll last 4-5 more years before a sequel is announced.

I never hounded you once on how you use your system. As we speak I'm on my gaming laptop connected to my monitor with mouse and keyboard. People use their items how they want.

FF15 was released incomplete storywise and characters lacked info. Heck they even advertised the game being able to play each character, we had to wait almost a year just to get that ability. FF7 Re battle system should have been what 15 was suppose to be.

I waited 10 years for FF 15 I remember when they had called it Versus 13 for PS3 but they kept on delaying the project. I like 15 I just never got the chance to get into the game since I'm in the middle of playing Forza and Yakuza 0. I'm more of a Star Ocean guy I loved Til the end of time but Star Ocean 4 I didn't like it so much I bought the one for PS4 but I never played it yet.

finally,
.

He said that it hurts his eyes playing it in handheld that is why he use the docked version. He probably uses the switch is his primary system since it is Nintendo and the switch is their only unit that they are supporting now. Nintendo is pretty big in Zelda , Pokemon, and Mario and some people just like Nintendo. I have a 3DS, Wii , and a Switch. I never got into Zelda or Mario that heavily I mainly played the Pokemon games.

 

[Shadow#1]

the largest switch games are 32-16 gb

Nope the largest switch game is witcher 3 at 64GB

 

[64bitmodels]

Nope the largest switch game is witcher 3 at 64GB

Still tho the majority of switch games never exceed 100 gb or anything spectacular like that
I see no reason to own a SD that's larger than 400 gb really, let alone a hdd that's 20 terabytes
That shit is reserved for PC games not smallass switch games
