Nintendo Switch: new Firmware update now live

[Saikyo]

There is a zoom options in the system menu? Also I dont remember the "wake when AC adapter is disconnected" on sleep mode.

 

[Cartridge Games]

Stability jokes stopped being funny like 4 years ago.

Only new thing of note seems to be Zoom?
You can enable it on the system menu, double tap home and you can adjust how zoomed in you’d like to be.

 

[Hailinel]

Save data transfer sans online subscription is huge.

Save data transfer is transferring data from one Switch to another. It's not analogous to the cloud backup and once it's transferred, it's gone from the source Switch.

 

[NateDrake]

Does the zoom functionality work in games or just on the home screen? If it’s in games that’s sick!

Works in games.

 

[hibikase]

An option is available to prevent the system from waking from Sleep Mode when an AC adapter is disconnected

Oh hey this is cool, I hate how the Switch wakes from sleep whenever I undock it, I usually just end up putting it back to sleep right away.

 

[ned_ballad]

There's no Poochy icon, that's odd

 

[spad3]

 

[LuigiV]

New Splat icons starting from Octoling Girl

Megaton!

 

[Foot]

Works in games.

Thanks for checking!

Nvm, ninja'ed.

Yes! This is the real update.

 

[MondoMega]

Sorting options? Fucking finally

 

[LordKano]

I don't really understand the point of the zoom option but maybe it has something to do with the VR ?

Just basic accessibility for sight impared users. It's a pretty standard thing now.

 

[The Poochy Kid]

The lack of a Poochy icon has left me heartbroken.

Otherwise decent update.

 

[Platy]

Lots of sorting options

still no way to separate demos from full games

 

[blackMamba1187]

Zoom Mode

 

[AnonymousApple]

Oh, sorting features. Handy. Still need folders but this is a start.

 

[srtrestre]

No Splat Tim avatar tsk tsk

 

[Clov]

Octoling Girl icon! Looks like I can finally switch out my Callie one.

 

[Cuburger]

Nintendo is totally going to make themes pro exclusive aren't they

I doubt it.

There just seems to be such a lack of OS feature updates that I think it's less a matter of making them exclusive and more that they are waiting to make a big update that will coincide with the new hardware. At least, that is my hope.

 

[Kokonoe]

My server just informed of this. About time they added the Octoling icons but I really wish there was a avatar shop where even third parties could have icons too.

Imagine having Dragon Ball, Ace Attorney or even Final Fantasy icons?

 

[Curler]

So for the save data transfer, is it only between the same account? Or can you send it to another account? Before I knew to make a Guest account, I want to move a save file over, but the account is on another Switch.

 

[Nolbertos]

Is it region locked yet?

Hehehe, trying to be Cheesemeister in reverse now.

Them stability updates are awesome.

 

[LunaSerena]

No Poochy avatar? This is outragrous.

 

[Kokonoe]

Is anyone aware if this update blocks CFW?

 

[NotLiquid]

Octoling avatars in Update 8.0? Those suckers were waiting for this one

 

[Becks']

Is anyone aware if this update blocks CFW?

Rumors on GBATemp are going on (maybe true?) that 8.0.0 bricks Switches with AutoRCM on.

 

[Pineconn]

Oh, hey. Actual new features.

 

[Kokonoe]

Rumors on GBATemp are going on (maybe true?) that 8.0.0 bricks Switches with AutoRCM on.

Oh fuck. I better be careful then.

 

[DecoReturns]

All I wanted was Poochy.

But Now I have to throw my Switch in the trash.

*tear*

 

[SuperFakerBros]

I'm waiting for folders so I can properly sort my games >:(

 

[Executive Taxi]

I don't really understand the point of the zoom option but maybe it has something to do with the VR ?

Accessibility feature for visually impaired people

 

[neon_dream]

A Sort Software feature is available after selecting to view All Software from the HOME Menu

Software can be sorted by time last played, total play time, software title, and software publisher
The All Software option displays when there are 13 or more software icons on the HOME Menu

Better than nothing.

Still not good enough.

 

[mopinks]

the lack of a Poochy avatar is legitimately baffling

 

[808s & Villainy]

Why can't we have the All Software view be default?!

 

[steviejd1]

With regards to the hacking scene, it looks like Nintendo has patched up every software flaw known right now. All that is left is the Nvidia hardware flaw.

 

[Lite_Agent]

Sadly, console still wakes up when you plug in AC Adapter... Maybe in Ver. 9.0.0 ;)

 

[Squiddo ᔦꙬᔨ]

New icons are litty

 

[Strings]

The sort features are nice. Still crazy this is 8.0.0 ...

 

[LostSkullKid]

Where are my folders?

 

[Habieru]

Sorting options are neat, but please folders next. 👏

 

[demu]

Okay, so how exactly can I sort my games now? I just can't find it.

 

[JuicyPlayer]

I wish they could increase the record gameplay feature to more than 30 seconds. At least 10 minutes would be ok.

 

[cucholix]

I hope the transfer feature is in preparation for the Super Switch

 

[V_ac]

Okay, so how exactly can I sort my games now? I just can't find it.

Go to All Software view and hit R. Can't use the sort stuff for the default view.

 

[Resetti]

Hong Kong customers can finally select HK as their region after Nintendo launching the system there 2 years ago!

Kimishima even specifically mentioned HK as one of the launch countries at the Switch Conference lol.

 

[MondoMega]

Zooming was clearly added so that it would be possible to play the Xenoblade Chronicles X port.

 

[Braaier]

I hope the transfer feature is in preparation for the Super Switch

This has gotta be it! Direct incoming!

 

[Anthony Hopkins]

Is it now going to be as snappy as an iPhone X or fast android 9?
