Whoa, so Nintendo just threw a curveball at us with this whole Nintendo Switch update. We’re talking version 20.0.0, and it’s like, what did they even do before that? Anyway, they tossed in something called Virtual Game Cards. I was just thinking about switching my old games when this hit my radar. Imagine juggling your games like those weird magician guys with card decks, but on a console.
And don’t get me started on GameShare. So, you can share games, but only with a Switch 2 nearby. Why must everything be so finicky, right? Like, you’re standing there, and, bam, it doesn’t even work with the OG Switch or the lite ones. Figures.
There’s this User-Verification thing. Random thought: It’s like when your coffee maker suddenly needs a PIN before it brews. Oh, the drama of technology. Anyway, you can lock down your Virtual Game Card stuff with a PIN now. Security and all that jazz.
Online License Settings were also dropped in. But it only matters if you’re online. This part reminds me of needing Wi-Fi just to toast my bread. No idea why these things stick in my head, but here we are.
Oh, they went a bit wild with color changes. Like splashing paint on the Nintendo eShop and News icons. And who doesn’t love a good icon makeover?
The save data thing — you can move a bunch at once now. Satisfying like untangling headphones, let me tell ya.
Now, System Transfer to Switch 2 is… a whole saga. You’re either doing this slick dance with local communication or throwing it up on some server. But, wait — better have your internet and Nintendo Account ready, or you’re staring at a screen that hates you.
Some user icons got a fresh face. Sorry, no details, just take my word for it: they look different.
Tiny note: “Primary Console” isn’t a thing now — it’s “Pass-enabled console.” You set it up, and suddenly everyone’s got access like it’s an all-you-can-play buffet. Kind of like house keys but for games. Go figure.
Honestly, good luck keeping up with it all. 🕹️
