The new features includes the ability to add friends from the 3DS and Wii U friends lists and to be notified when friends are online directly on the Switch. Users can also “find” their lost Joy-Cons, subscribe to game news, adjust some system volume levels and more.
The new update also fixes some weird issues that used to cause certain TVs to auto-switch to the Switch HDMI input when docked in sleep mode. Oh, and there’s some of those generic system stability improvements that everyone loves too.
