Switch firmware update 10.0.0 released, adds button remapping, allows you to move game data to SD

switch.jpg

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.

Seems this is the first time they show the actual change log, haha...

anyway, i hope they change the layout of the home menu to something like 3ds, that can be zoomed in/out and arrange apps etc... But it seems hopeless since nintendo doesnt listen to customers

well we don´t have something as simple as Netflix yet, so I don´t think HDD support will ever be there.
Also.. the user base for 1TB disk space is very small (if we count only legit users).
How many of us have 1TB in official games? some of course.. but probably less then 10% of all users...

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.

I don't plan to ever hack it, too convoluted and there's no permanent CFW, so, yeah. Gonna pass on that.

I'm glad for the SD transfer. If you wanted certain games to load faster, you were pretty much out of luck until now. I don't really understand the want for hdd support though. I buy a lot a games, and have yet to fill 1 400 GB SD card, but I guess if you're trying to pirate a lot it makes sense.

I have 103 games on my switch with a 1TB micro sd card. I have about 375GBs left. I think the largest game I have is final fantasy x/x-2 at around 26GBs, but the majority of games are between 5 and 10GBs. my purchases have slowed down considerably, since I have most of the best games the system has to offer. I just recently bought xenoblade chronicles, trails of cold steel 3, and trials of mana. anyway, it would be nice to have external hdd support, but if there's a limit to how many games can be on the system, I think you'll reach that limit at around 2TBs (assuming it's 300 again).

How you got Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition earlier?

what I wanted is.
Faster game installation speed and achievement system.
Since installing games download is extremally slow even using WiFi 5G and system of achievements would give more fun and challenge to games.
