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

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.

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. .
Considering how critical he is with the switch I highly doubt it's his primary system. I also agree with him on how homebrewing the switch is not worth it (especially considering that only 1/3 of the switch userbase can actually get access to CFW), at least not until a later CFW comes along and anihilates nintendo's security. but with how secure that pesky mariko is and how frequently nintendo updates, it seems like it's gonna be a few years before that happens

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

PS4 doesn't play the Mario Broses and the Zeldas, nor the Pokemans or Metrodes

@Goku1992A , star ocean on the ps4 is pretty bad. I bought it being a fan of the series, but the story seems forced with no clear direction.

Did you like Star Ocean 3 or 4? I beat 3 Twice on PS2 and I even bought it on PS4 I consider it one of my favorite PS2 games of all time. Considering how much I loved 3 when Star Ocean 4 came out on PS3 I actually bought it on day 1 and paid full price for it but honestly I didn't like it as much as I did 3. It was okay I guess but I lost my game save data when I was nearly beating the game I had restarted it again and have like 30 hours in but I haven't played it in 4 years. It is on my to do list for my PS3

That's why I'm holding off on buying a new console because I still have a ton of games to beat first. The only way I'll bit the bullet if they make like a Grand Theft Auto 6, or a Budukai 4 or Tenkaiechi 4 but only a guy can dream lol

Considering how critical he is with the switch I highly doubt it's his primary system. I also agree with him on how homebrewing the switch is not worth it (especially considering that only 1/3 of the switch userbase can actually get access to CFW), at least not until a later CFW comes along and anihilates nintendo's security. but with how secure that pesky mariko is and how frequently nintendo updates, it seems like it's gonna be a few years before that happens

For me personally I modded my switch for the free games. It wouldn't be worth it if that is something that you wanna play online with your friends that's why I have the OG switch and the lite. I never really cared about PS4 or Xbox One getting modded because my gaming laptop can play 90% of the games that was released. I strongly think that next gen is going to be dead for piracy so it's best reap the rewards now because in the future piracy may become obsolete. Despite me buying the gaming laptop I ended up buying an Xbox One and just play on that with gamepass.

I liked them, but I don't remember them too well. I haven't beaten the ps4 one. I haven't gamed on the ps4 in a very long time due to having a banned account. I need to rectify that at some point, but I'm in no real big hurry. anyway, star ocean 5 is fun, but it lacks in the story department.

Of course it doesn't ! Savegame management is their worst nightmare, this is what brought Wii, 3DS and WiiU to the hacking scene. They will never make us able to access that again, and I feel like it applies to themes too !
Seems like it might, but switch is already hacked they should just enable it so that there is one less reason to hack you switch.

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

So I highly doubt you will need more than 256gb, but if you plan on buing loads of games then perhaps 400gb will do you good.
I reaslly don't see any reason someone would need to connect a 2TB HDD into a Switch

peh there aren't enough good games that aren't shovel ware that you would need that much space on the switch. the eshop is just a cesspool of garbage now 50 times worse than the wii ever was :P

Okay blade that's going too far. Switch eshop will never compete with the likes of wiiware in terms of crappiness. At least Switch eshop had some gems on it like Celeste and Hollow Knight
wiiware barely has any good games, it's extremely desolate

The button remapping is great I been using a ipega pg-9023 instead of joycons with my switch but because buttons are in Xbox layout instead of switch with out remapping it always felt a bit awkward.

>right joystick is above face buttons
Wii U flashbacks. it looks like a pain in the ass to use too-wii u at least had a lot of space at the bottom of the gamepad so hitting the buttons isn't hard to do or uncomfortable. this though...
