Some of us are staring down these massive lists, wondering how we got here.
So, Nintendo decided to drop an update for us procrastinators right at the wire. I mean, literally the last day of April—classic move. Anyway, if you’ve been tinkering with your Switch, you’ll notice “System software version 20” has popped up in the settings. Honestly, it’s like seeing an old friend unexpectedly. This update brings the whole “Virtual Game Card” shindig they rambled on about in the March Nintendo Direct.
What does it do? Well, they say you can lend software and DLC to your family like some kind of digital library. Personally, I find this amusing, maybe because sharing wasn’t exactly my forte growing up. And guess what? You can toss games between two Switch systems without one needing to be glued to Wi-Fi. No idea why, but that’s my favorite part. There’s a guide somewhere about these Virtual Game Cards. Probably worth a read—if you like guides.
Oh, and they snuck in some features for Switch 2—like GameShare and this nifty transfer option. Imagine herding together your saves and pushing them through all at once. Is it just me, or does that sound like a tiny miracle? Anyway, the nitty-gritty details are floating around out there if you’re curious.
