Nintendo Switch receives an update before the launch of its successor with important changes

With the imminent arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled for June 5, Nintendo has released a new system update for the original Switch, called 20.1.0. Although this patch is smaller than the previous 20.0.0, it introduces significant visual and audio changes to the interface, aligning it better with the successor console.

An update that continues to improve the console

Among the most notable changes is the modification of the Parental Control button, which has changed from orange to red. In addition, the sound that plays when launching the Nintendo Switch Online menu has been updated to match the new system. Nintendo also took this opportunity to make general improvements to system stability, thus ensuring an optimized user experience.

On the other hand, Nintendo has released a patch 2.0.7 for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This is the first patch the game has received since November 2022 and improves compatibility between the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch, which is essential for those who wish to enjoy multiplayer sessions between both platforms.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will have a price of 470 euros, while a package that includes Mario Kart World will cost 520 euros. However, it has been indicated that the latter will only be produced until autumn 2025, which could create higher demand among fans. Although the console has not yet been officially released, it has already reached some hands, although users are faced with a message asking them to connect to the Internet to update their system.

With these moves, Nintendo aims not only to prepare players for the arrival of its new console, but also to emphasize its commitment to the continuous improvement of its current platform.
