Nintendo Switch Major Update Brings A Whole Host Of New Features And Changes

A new firmware update has been introduced for the Nintendo Switch. Update 3.0 adds a whole host of improvements and changes to the system’s UI, as well as new avatars, new features, and fixes to some long standing problems.


Among the new improvements is the ability to add your 3DS and Wii U friends by linking your Nintendo Network ID to your MyNintendo account; the ability to find your Switch controllers in the vicinity by firing a signal to them that makes them vibrate, so you can track them down; the ability to play your controllers wired over USB-C; the ability to subscribe to game specific news feeds; configure and customize your notifications; and far, far, far more.
