When Nintendo Switch 2 arrives tomorrow, day one adopters will have a significant update to download. Rumors about that update have been circulating for some time now, but Nintendo has released full patch notes revealing every feature that’s being added.
It’s a significant list, including just about everything imaginable; outside of maybe being able to play a physical copy of, it doesn’t seem like you’d be able to do anything else. Basically, if you want to play older Switch games, transfer data from an existing system, or use the new GameShare feature, you need to run this update right from the start.After running the update on Nintendo Switch 2, I can report that the update doesn’t take much time at all to complete. The day one update for the Wii U took a significant amount of time, much to the frustration of users. Thankfully, things go a lot smoother this time around, allowing Nintendo Switch 2 early adopters a chance to quickly jump into the games and enjoy their purchase.

That said, it’s clear that Nintendo has been putting in a lot of effort to improve backwards compatibility with several existing games.The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are even getting new features. It’s possible Nintendo’s developers are working right up to the wire on some of these updates, and the company did not want players to see how these games are running on Switch 2 prior to the new hardware version.Whatever the case might be, the update is here, which means Nintendo Switch 2’s release date is almost upon us.
