Switch firmware 9.0.0 Available Now!


Recommended Posts

UPDATE:

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In info on Nintendo's site about the recently announced wireless SNES controller for NSO members, it mentions that you will need to update your Switch to 9.0 to use it. JPN has announced that they will be getting the controller on the Sept. 25th (nothing for NA yet).

 

 

As much as I want themes and a web browser... WE DESPERATELY NEED FOLDERS, Nintendo! Along with the NSO SNES controller support, this will most likely just be stability/performance improvements and new profile icons. :v

Power Rangers Battle For the Grid on the Switch already had an invite option later added, so good to see Nintendo itself is following suit with those features with their own games/service.

 

I hope Nintendo adds this feature to some of their big online games (MK8DX, Splatoon 2, SSBU, etc.)  I assume they eventually will.

 

I'm curious to what they have planned for the Alarm Notifications, as you need supported software to use them. I can see this being useful for various things in Animal Crossing, though I was thinking, it would be great for custom online tourneys like in Mario Kart. Ex: You're playing a game while waiting for the tourney to start and then get a notification when it's time. I can see this being useful for our weekly Mario Kart night. Also, I was thinking it could be useful for eShop notifications, like when a game you pre-purchased or a game on your wish list is available.
