To all the blasphemous people changing the A and B buttons: You could've changed them on PS4 years ago.

Nintendo Switch: new Firmware update (Ver. 10.0.0)
- Thread starter Lite_Agent
- Start date
Am I reading this right? Button configuration is on a per controller basis and it'll remember the button configuration? This is actually really good if you have several sets of joy-cons. You can make a specific color to be configured for a specific game and you won't have to go and change the button configuration between games.
I don't think they'll do this since they reserve all the connections for the controllers.
This is never going to happen since they want saves to remain internal so you can't access them.

Button remapping is great, obviously, but I low-key actually am pleased about the news bookmarking ability. I actually do scroll through and favorite certain games for my feed, especially if I know it's a game that might have events or major updates/DLC.
AC does have a news channel though, with which they sent out an update on April 1 ahead of the Bunny Day event. Cherry Blossoms weren't sent out probably because it depends on which hemisphere you are in.
Yay. I have a 200GB memory card and 25 gigs or thereabout of free space on my internal memory. So now I can transfer some to there.
I did just notice the "Move Data Between Console/microSD Card" option. That's actually rather useful... though the fact it took 3 years to include such an option is rather telling.
What I want is a more robust screen capture. Let me snap images in PNG regardless of file size. Let me worry about that. At LEAST fucking make the screens as good quality as they were on Wii U. Like how did they make them near flawless JPG on Wii U, only to make them awful crusty JPG on Switch?
A 1080p option would be great as well.

What would be the point? Saves are tied to your hardware. If you lose your save data that means your system is dead anyways. The only reason to allow it is if your saves take up so much space you can't download anything.
Button remapping is awesome. Didn't expect that any time soon. What would really make this perfect is allowing for per game customizations.
Edit: I see you can use save slots, but then why not have more than 5 slots? And why not have them open automatically on game load? And these also aren't separate per account? That really doesn't make sense. The warning of "if someone else is playing, remind them of these changes" is such a nintendo thing.

I was under the impression this was a hardware thing and couldn't up updated via software.
I play with a DualShock so I just swapped a and b, and x and y. Finally all is right with the world.
If only Nintendo could so something about that... it's not like other companies let you do it, right?
Edit: Wait WTF do you mean about saves being tied to hardware? Can't people download their cloud save and play interchangeably between a regular Switch and a Lite?
For me the news section is one of the best features of the Switch. But there is a big gap how well it's used by Publishers. I like it when they go the extra mile and give their news section not a 08/15 name but something that makes sense in the world of the game. This little extra flavor is my jam.
Like the EU eShop has under discovery some little headlines: Diablo 3, let the hell loose.
The US eShop is so bland and boring and lists only the name of the game.
Wish they could just add a "more" button to the play activity. I want to see my playtime for other games that are not in the last 20 I played.
For real.
And an option to just show time played for the first 10 days
I though you could already transfer software to a SD card? What was the point of using one before then?
And of course you still can't transfer save data. Fuck that.

8bitdo Wireless adapter. 20 bucks on Amazon. Maps perfectly. Only downsides are no amiibo support and you can't turn on the Switch with the DS. Small prices to pay for an awesome dpad.
