Huh, so Nintendo just dropped this new update for the Switch, right? We’re at version 20.0.0 now. I mean, not that I was counting, but here we are. Anyway, they’ve added a bunch of stuff, and honestly, some of it sounds like it could be fun—or maybe not. Who knows?
So, first up, there’s this Virtual Game Card thing. Imagine all your games and DLCs are now like, virtual cards? You can swap them between two Switch systems. Wild. And you can lend them to family members. Think of it like lending a book, but more techy. Seems neat, but I wonder how often people will actually use it.
Then there’s GameShare—it’s basically like sharing toys with your friends, only digital. But you gotta be on a Switch 2 and nearby, so no online shenanigans. Old models are left out, for some reason. Typical.
Oh, and they’ve added User Verification Settings. You can slap a PIN on your Virtual Game Cards now. Security overkill? Maybe. Good luck remembering another PIN.
Speaking of things getting complicated, Online License Settings let you play stuff online without having the virtual card. Guess that’s cool, though the details are fuzzy.
They’ve switched up the eShop and Nintendo Switch News icons too. Feels like rearranging furniture—something looks different but you can’t place what changed until you trip over it.
For those fancy folks moving to a Switch 2, they’ve got new system transfer options. Local communication and server upload options are here, which sounds techy. But honestly, if you’re upgrading, the usual advice is: don’t break your old one before you get the new one. You know, common sense stuff.
Oh, and they’ve updated some user icons. You’d think that’s trivial but someone out there probably got really excited.
They’ve also ditched “Primary Console” for something called “Pass-enabled console.” So, everyone can access the goodies on that one. Suddenly, consoles sound like they need valid IDs or something.
To wrap it up, this update feels like a mixed bag—or maybe I’m just missing the point. Sometimes, updates are just there, waiting for someone to fully get what they’re about. Or maybe they’re waiting for me to stop overthinking. Thoughts?
