Nintendo has just rolled out update Ver. 10.0.0 for the Nintendo Switch, and it is actually quite the handy one — as it has added a bunch of features that most players will find more than welcomed; including a rather useful button-mapping option.
For starters, this new update has added bookmarks to the Nintendo Switch News feed, giving players the option to save their favourite news items, and users can save up to a maximum of 300 items to their News bookmarks.
Nintendo has also revealed that Ver. 10.0.0 will also allow players to transfer software data from the Nintendo Switch's memory to an SD card, as well as the other way around; transferring save data is still, however, only possible via the Cloud Save.
Here's where things get more interesting, as this recently rolled out update, as mentioned above, is now allowing players tu map their controllers' buttons — and some configurations can even be saved as favourites so that players don't have to constantly be mapping their buttons when they have friends over.
What's probably the best news here, is that these configurations are saved on the Nintendo Switch itself, and don't require an internet connection to be accessed. There is only one caveat, though, as only controllers made by Nintendo can be customised; no third-party controllers are supported.
As per usual when Nintendo releases a brand-new game, 6 icons from Animal Crossing: New Horizons have been added for the game user to select as an avatar.
Below is the full list of changes that Ver. 10.0.0 is making to the Nintendo Switch:
