The Switch 2 is out next week, and ahead of this, Nintendo has rolled out a new system firmware update for the original unit. While it may appear routine at first glance, every tweak or adjustment feels intentional—perhaps a final tune-up or a subtle nod to what’s coming next.

The update includes visual enhancements to the Parental Control settings and changes the launch sound of Nintendo Switch Online for the Home Menu. Alongside these tweaks, the update includes general system stability improvements to enhance the overall user experience.
