With update 10.00, Nintendo “aims to improve the functionality of its systems and services in order to provide the easiest, most user-friendly experience possible” according to its website. With this in mind, Nintendo has added a few changes to button configurations on the JoyCons. Players can now change analog stick and button configurations for each paired controller. Up to five custom button configurations can now be saved for each JoyCon, and up to five total for theSwitch Lite. This feature is not yet available for pro controllers or other non-JoyCon controller accessories.
Nintendo also upped the news items that players can bookmark to 300, transfer some data to SD cards, and added Player Activity Settings for friends. It also added “General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.” But the most exciting change for many players is the addition of 6Animal Crossing: New Horizonsicons for players.
Players can now have Orville, Celeste, and other now-familiar faces as their players icons for the Switch, showing off their new favorite characters from the series. The oldAnimal Crossingicons are still available too, if players prefer thekind Tom Nookor Isabelle for their icons.
The 10.00 update should download automatically the next time a Switch is connected to the internet. However, if players aren’t connected to the internet or if it doesn’t automatically download, it’s easy to grab. Just go to the Settings menu on the home page of the Switch. The last option should be System, and the first item in the System menu is System Update. If the current version is not 10.00, ensure to update next time the Switch is connected to the internet. The download doesn’t take long; in fact, players might not even have time toproperly clean their JoyConswhile waiting for the new update.
And for those who don’t have the Switch yet, there is hope asNintendo is restocking the Switch and Switch Litein the US and Europe very soon.
