Nintendo has released a new system update, version 20.1.1, for the original Nintendo Switch console. This update comes just days before the highly anticipated launch of the rumored Switch 2.
The patch notes for this update primarily address an issue that arose after the previous 20.1.0 update. Specifically, the update fixes a bug where certain software would not start after updating to version 20.1.0.
The 20.1.0 update, which was released on May 27, introduced some audio and visual changes to the Switch’s interface to align it more closely with its successor. Changes included a new look and color for the Parental Control settings button on the Home screen and an updated sound when launching the Nintendo Switch Online menu.
Nintendo’s quick response to the software start issue demonstrates their commitment to providing a smooth user experience for Switch owners. With the imminent arrival of the Switch 2, it’s reassuring to see ongoing support and updates for the original console.
Players can download the latest system update by connecting their Nintendo Switch to the internet and selecting the System Settings option from the Home screen.
Stay tuned for more updates and news as the gaming community eagerly awaits the launch of the Switch 2.
