Nintendo Switch 2 update 21.0.1

Heads up for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch owners as a new firmware update, version 21.0.1, has now been released.

This seems to be about improving things from the last update. Version 21.0.0 came out earlier in the month and brought about some new features. However, it did also break some things in the process. Nintendo specifically addressed a couple of error codes with local system transfers as well as an issue involving wireless controllers/Bluetooth audio devices specifically on Switch 2.

Also, as you may recall, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl and Crypt of the NecroDancer were among the games we were hearing about having issues on Nintendo Switch 2 following the update. We’ll have to wait and see if there are reports of these titles now having been fixed with version 21.0.1.

Below is the full notice for today’s update:

Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba -he Hinokami Chronicles 2 Zenitsu Agatsuma (Infinity Castle)

The next Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 DLC character is almost here, with Aniplex and CyberConnect2 confirming the release date for Zenitsu Agatsuma (Infinity Castle). This is planned for December 2, 2025 on Nintendo Switch.

Switch demos

Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.

Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.

The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending November 22, 2025 is now available.

The big news here is the debut of Kirby Air Riders, which actually missed out on the top ten. You’ll find it this week down at #12. Kirby Air Ride on GameCube wasn’t a massive seller back in the day, so this may not come as a huge surprise.

Worth noting, Mario Kart World is still trucking along. This one actually moved up a spot from #3 to #2.

Still, some fans still seem to have some hope for its release.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between November 5 and November 11.
