Switch

That’s a harsh headline, but let’s be real. So far almost all of the Nintendo Switch OS updates have provided nothing more than “general system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.” Update 3.0.0 adds several welcome features but still not as many as some were hoping.

Read on for what you can do with this update, as well as the full patch notes.

One of the major changes coming to the Switch is going to help you find your friends more easily. You can now add friends from your 3DS and Wii U friend lists under your user profile’s Friend Suggestions page. You’ll also receive notifications when friends come online, but you can turn this off in System Settings if you want.

A kind of funny —  but potentially life-saving — addition is the Find Controllers feature, which will locate lost controllers for you. As long as you’ve paired the controller before, you can use this new feature to make any controller in range vibrate to help you find it.

Though this update hasn’t added cloud saving or video streaming apps, the improvements are still helpful. You can go to the News app on your Switch for a full run down of the new OS version, or you can read the list of patch notes below.

Mischa McGill

Mischa grew up with video games and still has a deep love for many - especially fun, colorful RPGs. Some of her favorites include Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Fantasy Life, Kingdom Hearts, Skyrim, Civilization V, and Stardew Valley. She loves nights in with her boyfriend cooking Mexican food, watching Studio Ghibli movies, and going head-to-head in their favorite games. Mischa might not beat you in Super Smash Bros, but she owns a replica of Arwen’s sword and Hermione’s wand, so... don’t rub it in too much.
