I wonder if that HDMI interruption setting for sleep mode will help us LG users.

[porkChop]

Yeah there's a fix for that in the update.

Sweet update, now if only anybody could find one in stock....

[time2die]

Yeah i get that annoying problem with my Samsung KS8000,Infact i disconnected the HDMI lead as it done my friggin head in constantly changing to the switch channel when in sleep mode.

Me to, was incredibly irritating

Samsung is working on a update for us 8 series users to fix that.

"Find paired controllers within communication range by activating the vibration feature"

Very useful feature for my wife since she constantly loses controllers...

[Discobastrd]

Mine hides them from me. She thinks it's hilarious.

[EddieNX]

Nice, now hury up with the rest!

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Thank you Nintendo

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Omg finally a fix for that Damn HDMI switching!

[nekkosuga]

i hope it fixes the HDMI input switching with Samsung TV's. been having that issue since launch.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Samsung is working on a update for it now. It's a headache for my KS8500.

[ILostMyMind]

What is the Switch OS?

[mcstorm]

Its the operating system for the Switch :-p I'm not to sure did a quick search but did not bring much up.

[leondarkstar]

Its a version of linux

I sold mine it is one of most boring console/handheld ever. No connection, empty store, boring games except 2 and most others just indie no real exclusives yet just ports, no apps. Come on my 3ds and psp can do much more than this.

[EddieNX]

Its brand new lol and theres loads of games bout come out.

[Dissidia]

It came out what 3 months ago? and you sold it because the library doesn't compare to your 3DS and PSP which both have years worth of games? Nice decision making :)

[InKnight7s]

I bought my ps2, psp, ps4, wii, xbox 360, ps vita at relaease date and all had more games and much more to do than this at release date. This is fact you wise clever decision guider.

[blawren4]

1)Why did you buy one in the first place?
2)Why did you feel the need to let everyone know?
3) Do you have an opinion actually, you know, ON topic?

For me, this is a good update. We'll get many more to come.

[GrubsterBeater]

But you're XBox has sooo many games, right?

The Switch basically just came out, and you sold it because it doesn't have a big library yet?! There are tons of awesome games coming out very soon. If you really did have a Switch, which I kinda doubt, then you made a mistake in my opinion..

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Well your loss bud.

[AdonisIsBeast]

Love how dude in the comments asked if there's an update on cloud saves like it's going to happen any time soon

[DivineAssault]

decent update although some new apps would be nice

[FernDiggidy]

One hell of an update. No support for saving game data onto an external SD card. No virtual console in sight! Thank you Nintendo.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Apparently, the update has also improved the WiFi connectivity for many. I noticed yesterday that I had full bars for some Ultra Street Fighter 2 matches for the first time, and there wasn't any noticeable lag.
