New update for the Switch is there, and... yeah, it's just a 0.1, so nothing exciting, I assume. Expect the usual, so...

General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience

Patch notes will be available there > http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22525/p/897

Update:

Addressed an issue in which the remaining battery charge can't be displayed accurately

If the system's battery power display suddenly increases or decreases, it will gradually improve by following these steps.

Ensure the console has the latest system update. The steps below apply to system menu version 3.0.1 or higher.
Set the Auto-Sleep mode to "Never" for "Playing on Console Screen" and for "Connected to TV."
Connect the AC adapter directly to the console until the battery is fully charged.
If the battery charge indicator does not reach 100%, simply allow the console to charge for approximately three hours.
Once the battery is fully charged, leave the console alone for one hour with the AC adapter still connected to it.
Afterward, disconnect the AC adapter and allow the console to display the HOME Menu for approximately three to four hours.
The remaining battery life must be depleted as much as possible.
Once the battery charge is almost depleted, power off the console by holding down the POWER Button for three seconds, then select "Power Options" > "Turn Off." Leave the console alone for at least 30 minutes.
Repeat steps 2 - 6 several times.
The battery charge indicator will improve gradually by repeating this process several times.

They should add at least one new avatar with every update.

Is it region-locked yet?

Any exploit that might have needed to be fixed?

Such pleasantness.

Enhance!

Drkirby · Aug 1, 2017

Oh boy, version 3.0.1.

Dremorak · Aug 1, 2017

My most wanted features are:
- a redesigned eshop that makes it a bit easier to find older stuff
- folders, or a slightly easier to look at menu when you have lots of stuff
- video clip recording and uploading

Looks like I spoke too soon. Update does fix something:

I haven't been paying attention to the battery percentage, don't even know if this affects me, now I have to check D:

Clean your houses/Apts. No reason to have that much dust on your electronics unless you've been slacking in cleaning.

Wait... You have to do this multi-hour long process 2-6 times???

You do steps 2-6 multiple times.

So the answer is YES then.

yuoke · Aug 1, 2017

Lol, don't expect themes for at least a year or two. It took like 3 years for the 3ds, and the wiiu never got them.

SinCityAssassin · Aug 1, 2017

The battery thing is pretty pleasant.

That's how I read it...this is hilarious.

Worthintendo · Aug 1, 2017

Is it region locked yet?
EDIT: Beaten, I should read threads before being a smart arse

KratosEnergyDrink · Aug 1, 2017

Curious if point 5 is correct: Display home menu for 3 hours to deplete battery?

Starting a game to deplete battery faster would be more appropriate.

boi wat

renzolama · Aug 1, 2017

Repeat steps 2 - 6 several times.

When you see this appear anywhere in a set of instructions, you know immediately that you're dealing with some real technical professionals.

Hugstable · Aug 1, 2017

Nintendo pls give folders and all that good stuff

That's right.

DECK'ARD · Aug 1, 2017

The procedure for fixing the battery thing definitely isn't pleasant.

Cyanity · Aug 1, 2017

That battery fixing procedure is insane. 2-6 iterations of a procedure that takes almost 10 hours to complete? Crazy.

DECK'ARD · Aug 1, 2017

3.0.2 better up the pleasantness considerably to compensate for this.

Serenitynow · Aug 1, 2017

I see the mistake I made in the wording but hot damn. That's a long ass, tedious fix for something I figured would be fairly easy to solve.

HowZatOZ · Aug 1, 2017

Why are people shocked? That's exactly what is recommended on any Lithium Ion powered device. Charge it all the way up to full and keep it charged then deplete, shut down, charge to full and repeat a few times. Essentially imprints the battery maximum and minimum.

But the system/code for themes is in place on the switch (black and white themes)... Unlike Wii U and 3ds at launch.

Seriously. I thought most of us had laptops.
