Die Nintendo Switch erhielt heute ihr erstes richtig großes System-Update. Während sich vorherige Updates lediglich um die Systemstabilität kümmerten, wurden nun ein paar neue Features hinzugefügt. So können euch unter anderem Freunde vorgeschlagen werden, die ihr auf eurem Nintendo 3DS und der Wii U gespeichert habt, darüber könnt ihr euch nun benachrichtigen lassen wenn ein Freund online kommt.
iPhone-Nutzer sind sicherlich mit dem “Find my iPhone”-Feature vertraut – etwas ähnliches hat nun auch die Nintendo Switch zu bieten. In den Controller-Einstellungen könnt ihr nämlich jeden derzeit verbundenen Controller antippen und dadurch vibrieren lassen. Eine gute Sache, falls ihr einen der beiden Joy-Con mal verlegt haben solltet. Zudem gibt es ein paar kleinere Verbesserungen mit dem System-Update auf Version 3.0, welche Nintendo of America auf seiner Support-Seite auflistet:
