Support NeoGAF

[foxuzamaki]

Can confirm it gets *substantially* louder through headphones now. It feels like what used to be max volume is now just over halfway up the new scale, which is fantastic!

Oh, also notifications are now slightly transparent, which is a nice change from then being completely opaque and obscuring whatever's in the corner.

Music to my ears

Whoa. This is awesome.

Time to find a decent 10' USB-C cable.

Can anyone confirm/deny that the 8bitdo controllers still work? I love using my SNES30 so much I'm paranoid to push major firmware updates

Don't see why they wouldn't. I'll check in a second.

 

[psyfi]

wow, good stuff

 

[samred]

I spoke too soon. My ears holy shit its loud. MY EARS!!!

yeah, max volume on headphones is definitely higher. not ear-crushingly loud, but it finally has some kick. I've got the Arms theme song on full blast on my best cans right now.

EDIT: Oh, and that means external speakers won't suck anymore at parties.

Does anyone know if Switch Pro Controller had more input lag than Wii U's GamePad when used wireless?

Confirmed: they still work. Just connected my SFC30 no problem.

 

[Stealthcobra]

that input fix is MEGAAAAAAA. fuck. sometimes id wake up to my TV, xbox, and reciever on. my light bill was getting fucked.

thanks for acknowledging and fixing Nintendo.

There's no way you can see that much
Of a difference

YES! was just playing thumper at full volume yesterday which was great and then switching to ARMS and i could barely hear anything at Starbucks.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Colorblindness QoL does make sense, yeah.

 

[Cranzor]

For anyone wondering, Wii U Pro Controllers and GameCube controllers with the Wii U adapter both do not work by being plugged in. Probably not a surprise, but I thought it might be helpful.

 

[Vital Tundra]

PNG screenshots can't come fast enough.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Sounds like a great update. Happy for Switch owners. That maximum audio thing sounds great for people like me who want to protect their ears, will give ot a try when I get one.

 

[Owensboro]

Hell yeah to the headphones volume increase. I'm on two flights tomorrow and will actually be able to play Thumper now. That's cool as hell.

 

[foxuzamaki]

It feels so good to add old friends from the WiiU days back again

 

[J@hranimo]

These are some nice little updates . Baby steps!

Also I'm assuming the Wired Controller functionality was added for possible Splatoon 2 LAN Tournaments for reducing any wireless interference. It would be counterproductive of the gyro didn't still work though... I'll have to try it later on.

YET.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Excellent update!

Being notified when friends go online seems small but will go a long way. Higher volume is great too even though I plug my headphones into my TV for the Switch, it'll still absolutely come in handy when it's undocked!

 

[Javier]

Not in Patch Notes: When you turn off the Switch in Handheld Mode and then dock it, the battery icon that appears on the screen now shows the amount of battery left with the charging icon by the side, instead of the generic "charging battery" icon.

 

[mlclmtckr]

Hell yeah to the headphones volume increase. I'm on two flights tomorrow and will actually be able to play Thumper now. That's cool as hell.

This is exactly what I was thinking... Thumper looked real good but I wasn't going to play it on those quiet-ass headphones.

I'm glad it was a software thing and got fixed. A change that actually affects gameplay, and therefore matters to me, unlike the 720p menus.

 

[AetherZX]

Is wifi fixed yet?

 

[KingBroly]

The lost controller feature is amazing. Such a smart feature that you wish you'd always had.

 

[Shikoba]

I'm always down for some new Splatoon Avatars!

 

[CaviarMeths]

Gonna need that UI update where I can arrange icons and make folders.

Thanks N xoxo

 

[Toparaman]

Solid update from the sound of things.

 

[KingBroly]

GameXplain has a video tour up detailing the new update...

7:54

All I'm saying

 

[moeman]

Hopefully this is the start of a slew of rollouts in the firmware before the release of splatoon 2.

Nice

And they gave a neogaf namedrop

 

[LouieGeetoo]

After updating, none of my Joy-Cons would connect wirelessly, even after restarting the system. Turning airplane mode on and off solved it for me, so if anyone else runs into the same problem: try that.

 

[KingBroly]

Nice

That's a timestamp, btw


And you can now update Controllers now? hmm

 

[Durden77]

Hell yeah. Ninty be serious about the Switch.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

They need to not limit your play history to only the last 20 games you've played. Hopefully that gets updated next. I don't wanna lose my Zelda hours! >_>

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Is it still 720p home screen dock?

1080p UI?

Oh shut the fuck up, jesus. No one cares.

HDMI sleep issue fix is huge. Now I can plug the damn thing into my switcher again.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

My Switch won't pick up my home's wi-fi signal even after updating to 2.0 or whatever was available before.

Hopefully it gets fixed with this one?

This is great news. Used headphones for the first time over the weekend on a plane, was worried something was wrong with my switch because max volume wasn't loud at all.

 

[El Pescado]

The data is still there. Just start the game and it'll go back to the top of your list.

Haven't they already said that Pokken DX will support the Wii U Pokken pads? I'm guessing that functionality will be added closer to release.

 

[molnizzle]

Oh shut the fuck up, jesus. No one cares.

Excuse me?

 

[Vital Tundra]

Oh shut the fuck up, jesus. No one cares.

Calm down son, many people care, including me. It needs to happen because it looks like shit on a 4K TV.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Something that isn't a Stability Update that has tangible improvements is always welcome

Give it time, early updates add features, it's at around the halfway point that you start seeing stability updates.

 

[JJH]

Anyone else's WiFi improve? I've always been two bars even feet within our router and now I've been at all three constantly since the update.

 

[Maxinas]

Oh shut the fuck up, jesus. No one cares.

They seem to care enough to mention it. I agree that there are other things that take higher priority, but no need to be so hostile.

 

[shamo42]

Disappointing update.

Has the Switch already been updated to support backing up game saves (to the cloud or SD cards)?

Still nothing... Sooner or later our switches will break and all the save data will be gone.

We need game save backups!

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

The data is still there. Just start the game and it'll go back to the top of your list.

Oh really?

That's pretty cool. It would be better if it never 'disappeared', but that's still definitely good to know. Thanks!

 

[MasterForm]

I've noticed this. I'm pleased unless they just adjusted the qualifications for the bar levels.

....looks more than fine on my 4k tv...

 

[wonderfuldays]

This update pretty neat, keep working Nintendo!

 

[WillyFive]

Pretty massive update, especially importing friends from Wii U and 3DS as well as wired controllers.

 

[Vital Tundra]

....looks more than fine on my 4k tv...

Idk, the 720p menues biggest issue is the font on my screen.
