Support NeoGAF

[L~A]

This one is a pretty big one, I think. Took a while to download for me. No patchnotes available as of writing, sadly. But the jump to 3.0.0 makes it clear it's not just "stability" this time around.

Update: patch notes!

[BY2K]

[Jeffrey]

Is it still 720p home screen dock?

 

[NintendosBooger]

Netflix????

 

[Nights Owl]

New Features for my new Switch would be neat. Updating now. Thanks for the headsup

 

[The Main Event]

1080p UI?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Whoa, enabling wired pro support seems pretty big.

 

[BitStyle]

New Splatoon 2 icons? Nice

 

[Worthintendo]

Is it region free yet?

 

[phanphare]

Find paired controllers within communication range by activating the vibration feature

hahaha this is amazing

 

[_woLf]

Improvements to prevent unintended HDMI input change with certain TVs while the console is docked in Sleep Mode

PRAISE THE FUCKING SUN!

Damn, huge update

 

[JimJamJones]

Is it region free yet?

 

[Vena]

Is it region locked yet?

 

[BY2K]

* The NFC touchpoint on the Pro Controller will be disabled while the controller is using wired communication.

I wonder what's the reason for that.

 

[0racle]

hahaha this is amazing

How does one activate vibration feature if they don't have their controller?

 

[FZZ]

Fat update

I love the Switch

 

[Stratosphere]

PRAISE THE FUCKING SUN!

Yep that's the shiznit right there.

 

[Gaiaknight]

this is a fantastic update a nice amount of QoL improvements.

 

[ryushe]

Lower the maximum volume for headphone or speakers connected to the audio jack
To lower the max headphone volume, head to System Settings > System > Lower Max Headphone Volume

dammit! Why couldn't that be increase max volume?

 

[Maxinas]

Nothing mind blowing, but good improvements overall. I can't wait until more themes are released.

 

[Neoxon]

Looks like a pretty substantial update, neat. Allowing us to use the Pro Controller as a wired controller is pretty big, & something I didn't think could be enabled via a software update.

That being said, I'm surprised that no ARMS avatars were added, yet.

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

How does one activate vibration feature if they don't have their controller?

Touch screen.

 

[foltzie1]

Is it region free yet?

Huzzah.

 

[phanphare]

How does one activate vibration feature if they don't have their controller?

use the touch screen? I don't know I just thought that was hilarious

 

[The Elite]

Kind of hoped for more but it's a quality update.

 

[boiled goose]

Wired pro controller. Pretty big.
Friend list unification. Nice, but it should just be one list by default (all linked via my Nintendo)

 

[Berna]

How does one activate vibration feature if they don't have their controller?

Remove from dock and use touchscreen, I guess? I don't have one (yet), can the controller settings be accessed with touch only?

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

Ctrl+F

1080p UI/UI Resolution

No results found.

NEXT!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

[The Argus]

Improvements to prevent unintended HDMI input change with certain TVs while the console is docked in Sleep Mode

About fucking time! Yasssss

 

[kami_sama]

Yeah!
I like this update, while not the cure for all the ailments that the switch os has, the fix for the hdmi is very welcome.

 

[True Fire]

This is a great update, but I'm disappointed they don't have Themes yet.

The musicless black and white themes aren't nearly as good as my SMT4A theme on 3DS.

 

[ThisIsMyDogKyle]

- Use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller via wired communication by connecting the USB charging cable

Megaton

 

[BiggNife]

Seems like a lot of small but necessary improvements. Glad they're finally trying to address the HDMI auto switching.

Hopefully the 8bitdo controllers still work.

 

[Machina]

This needs verification but it looks like the WIFI is performing better as well

 

[Seik]

Tell me bout that.

Upgrades AND pleasantness, both go so well together!

*starts Switch*

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

 

[lord_of_flood]

Big ones are receiving notifications when your friends go online, wired Pro Controller, and ability to use USB keyboards to type. Will download once I get home from work.

 

[Scum]

Is it region locked yet?

 

[Spirited]

Sounds like some good stuff, nothing HUGE but nice fixes and improvements nontheless.

[Antiwhippy]

Can we have more than one fucking row for our game library?

 

[secretanchitman]

Good update - can anyone possibly test it to see if it'll support 1080p on "unsupported" displays? I have a 24" 1920x1200 monitor and currently it only gives me 480p and 720p output.

This is pretty big: I added a ton of people here when Xenoblade X came out, and while I only ever interacted with a fraction of them, it will make it easier to find people on GAF by their user names.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Is the UI resolution different?

 

[hwy_61]

Excuse me? Splatoon 2 icons are nothing??!!
