Nintendo Switch Update Ver. 4.0.0 Live! Some video capture, transfer profiles/saves
- Thread starter NMFried
- Start date
You mean actual native Bluetooth headphone support? Most of the wireless headphone demonstrations were done via USB adapters.

Needs to be bumped for awesomeness
Just because it's system level doesn't mean it's enabled by default. If it can be added via patch, then that means devs have the ability to allow/disallow it (like how Atlus didn't allow recording for Persona 5 on PS4), which means devs have to enable it

I hope this means we can watch videos that we add onto the SD card eventually. I'd even take something similar to converting videos to watch on the 3DS camera gallery.
I just saw it here

That seems to apply to only that particular software on the original Switch, but you should probably ask Nintendo

Finally was able to trade in my Switch for another one (my old one had a hardware issue on the left side where the joycon would connect intermittently rendering handheld mode unusable) since I could now transfer my save.
Was an ordeal because I had to do it at the store but at the very least it's a possibility where it wasn't before.
Bring on those cloud saves...

We're just gonna have to keep an eye on the eShop and Nintendo social media for a possible announcement.
Ah, there we go. Five minutes is what I'm looking for.

So here's an interesting "what if" in relating to saves and DLC:
- User 1 has a physical copy of a game, and buys the DLC for it (say, Zelda: Breath of the Wild).
- User 2 plays the same game on the switch, and is able to play with DLC due to User 1 owning the DLC on their account.
- User 1 then TRANSFERS their save data and (more importantly) their purchases to a different Nintendo Switch, which includes the previously mentioned DLC.
What happens to User 2's Save Data? Do they keep all the DLC? Or will they no longer have access to the file? Will the DLC exclusive items simply vanish? I ask this, as this is the exact situation I'm in with my girlfriend. I'm afraid that if I transfer my profile from her Switch to mine, she might lose her Zelda save data due to the DLC being attached to my profile.

Why is everyone all excited about save transfers? It's only if you own multiple Switch consoles right...am I missing soemthing? It's not a solution for people with 1 switch and a few hundred hour save game files between Zelda and SDV.
I guess it's a step in the right direction, albeit a very small step.

Looking at it now, it seems alright. When I first uploaded the videos they were so blurry that I couldn't even read the time in the corner. Maybe my net was going slow.
I'm excited to see what people do with this feature when Odyssey comes out.
I wager that User 2 would be locked off the DLC as the DLC is tied to player 1 account and the license got transferred over.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here already and I think this is new with 4.0 but in the system settings all the way on the bottom you'll see an option to turn on "Send Error Information" which says it sends crashes and other error logs to the developers of the game for bug fixes.
I don't remember it being their before the update.

I thought Shadowplay has like a 5% performance impact? That's not a ton but it's not nothing either, especially in a game like Breath of the Wild that has trouble keeping a stable framerate.

I dont understand why Nintendo would add the ability to pre-purchase/pre-load games from the eShop but not enable it for arguably their biggest game of the year in Super Mario Odyssey.

Maybe they're afraid of someone decrypting it and leaking it early?
is it confirmed that they aren't doing a preload for it?

This update convinced me to buy a switch! Such beautiful hardware, and now I'm confident that we will get the software updates we are asking for. Any advice for a new owner, game recommendations (I got BOTW)? OT is closed so I am asking here.
jts
...hate me...
Well done.
Well, BOTW is amazing, and Mario Odyssey is out in a week. That should be a brutal 1-2 punch combo.
Snipperclips or Overcooked for multiplayer.
Golf Story or Stardew Valley for beautiful indie games.
But this is just some curation, there is a huge amount of choice these days. Enjoy!

i just got my switch. the other games i have bought along with BOTW are Mario Kart 8, Stardew Valley, Kamiko, and 2048.
Can't say anything about MK8 because it hasn't been delivered yet! stardew valley hasn't quite clicked with me yet but it can be seriously addictive. Kamiko is a VERY short game. i beat it in exactly 1hr 30mins. i could always run through it again with a different class but eh...i paid £4.50 for it and i'm happy with it. 2048 is just a small puzzle game i bought because i had some money left over.
BOTW/Mk8/Odyssey are the 3 main games i bought a Switch for. Other games I plan on getting are Arms/Splatoon 2/ Fire Emblem/Doom/Skyrim. Not sure about Pokken yet...i played the demo and it was cool but not sure if it's worth the price.

Enjoy! Mario in week is a no brainer, if you like multiplayer shooters Splatoon 2 is very unique and fun, Golf Story is an excellent exclusive indie game, Stardew Valley is another great indie game if you don't have it, if you didn't have a Wii U Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is fantastic for local multiplayer.

Mario Kart and Splatoon, go, go, go!
My friend! Welcome to the Switch family. Please add me and any other Gaffers you own a Switch.

Zelda and Mario will be enough to get that single player fix in for a long time. For multiplayer you cannot go wrong with Mario Kart, ARMS, and Splatoon. There are a lot of great indie games to have on the go like Fast RMX, Golf Story, and Stardew Valley.

It sure did on my 970m laptop.
So this beeping noise doesn't happen every time, but I was able to reproduce it and finally tracked down the cause to a weird quirk of the SDK causing the controllers to be randomly initialized to super high-frequency vibrations instead of their normal default values. I'm guessing most developers sidestepped the issue, though I did find at least one that also ran into it on the Nintendo developer forums. I will be patching Volgarr to fix this but have also let Nintendo know about the quirk.
