Nintendo has actually made a pretty decent update that was more than just stability! This update brings new features such as transferring downloadable software, update data, and DLC from memory to SD and vice-versa! They also introduced more new features including Joycon remapping and added new user icons from Animal Crossing New Horizon! CFW users please refrain from updating until your CFW of choice has updated to support 10.0.0!

Save data can't be transferred, as is noted in the release notes:

Yeah, I made some mistakes. I just threw this all together really quickly and was just coming back to fix my mistakes. Thank you for pointing that out though!

Honestly can't believe it took three years just to be able to transfer software between the microSD card and internal memory. Add some customization to the size/rows of icons on the home screen and some way to change the order of what's being downloaded, then maybe it'll be close to what it should've been at launch. I honestly have no idea what the UX designers are smoking over there.

I feel like the switch has so much potential but Nintendo isn't giving us what we really want. 10.0.0 is nice and all but no multimedia, no Bluetooth, , no web browser is a bummer. I don't know why Nintendo dropped the ball on this I mean it's primary a handheld (this is not a console). The stuff they are bringing in 10.0.0 should have been in 9.2.0 firmware updates.

sounds great! though, transferring content from sd to internal flash and vice versa should've been there long ago. I couldn't believe that option didn't exist. now, we just need transferring saves. I bet that will come, but probably not until the switch is at eol. there are some people, including myself, who have switch online for the cloud saving. however, I do play the snes collection a lot. I've already beaten breath of fire and I'm a ways into breath of fire 2.

I have a question I was playing smash bros ultimate arena online, and after finishing the session, I wasn't asked to update. However my friends switch was told there is an avaliable update. He updated like normal to 10.0.0 l. Can a switch update be optional?

i think you mean "The stuff they are bringing in 10.0.0 should have been in 1.0.0 firmware"

I mean the switch is the best handheld out (with home-brew) but Nintendo isn't utilizing the switch to it's fulling capabilities. That's why I'm very thankful for the Devs that had worked on the switch enhancing the capabilities that Nintendo is failing to do.

I doubt it. my system hasn't asked me to update either (haven't yet). however, once an update has been downloaded, the system will nag you to update. I think you can get around it by going into the recovery menu. afaik, that deletes a downloaded update, but I don't have an exploited switch, so I'm basing that on what I've read.

As people have said above this should have been day 1, out of the box stuff.

I'm glad they're finally adding it, but for a version bump (9 -> 10) is there anything really major?
