It has been almost 4 months since Nintendo has updated the firmware of the Nintendo Switch. Obviously, the holiday season had a role to play in that. However, another reason is that Nintendo did technically release an update of some kind during that 4 month period, courtesy of a “rebootless” update that was launched in mid-December.
That said, Nintendo has decided to release a firmware update tonight. Once you update, your console’s firmware should be at version 16.0.0. As for the patch notes, you may be surprised to hear that they don’t really have much. You can see them in full down below, nevertheless.
- User nicknames that cannot be used will be replaced with “???” which can be updated from the profile settings.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
So it’s safe to ase that themes will never show up on the switch?
Unless they just flat out make them available towards it’s drought stage when their successor starts making ita way through I don’t see it happening, I mean we still don’t have Netflix and a browser.
It certainly seems that way sadly.
Really not sure why they took such a step back with the Switch’s UI after how good the 3DS’ was.
The 3ds is still best for customisation and file management.
Probably never. There is zero chance that it won’t be happening. The 3DS has themes. Why not the Switch has one for once.
Not really worried about The Switch having themes and just having the default white or blk available. I’ve used plenty of themes on PSN and the dynamic themes with bgm cause frame rate drops, screen tearing, pixel dots etc It’s not worth the headache honestly unless you use a custom theme just a screen shoot. Having themes is generally a nice concept, however with all the issues they can cause im not sure i’d want themes for The Switch. The standard or custom themes are usually fine, it’s when you start using dynamic themes when the issues start.
I will never understand Nintendo’s version numbering system, its a major patch number with minor nearly hot patch worthy changes.
PS5 ditched themes, too. I like how each game has it’s own theme (of sorts) when highlighted. It’d be nice if more of them had music from their game playing, though. Only downside is I can’t use a holiday theme. To be more specific, I can’t use a Halloween theme. 😭
