Nintendo published a Switch launch FAQ on its Japanese website, which gives an overview on the console itself, initial setup, download sizes for digital games and so. However, it also contains some new info on the elusive day 1 patch. Perfectly Nintendo have kindly translated the finer details.

The day 1 patch adds the following features to the console:

• ability to connect to the internet via Wifi hotspots that require authentication;
• post screenshots on social media;
• get news via the News feature;
• access the Nintendo eShop;
• play online;
• link a Nintendo Account to the console;
• use the Parental Controls app;
• redeem retail games on My Nintendo

While the FAQ doesn’t specify the exactly size of the day 1 patch, it says that it will take about 10 to 20 minutes to download. Naturally, this will vary greatly depending on the speed of your internet connection, but it seems like the patch will be fairly manageable in terms of size.

The patch will also add a new feature that we haven’t heard anything about so far. Should you choose to enable this new feature, your TV will automatically turn on if you put the Switch in its dock. However, your TV will need to be in standby mode for this to work, and Nintendo notes that this feature might not work with all TVs.

The Nintendo Switch is finally launching tomorrow, and various parts of Nintendo’s online infrastructure are getting ready for it – including My Nintendo.

You can now register physical Nintendo Switch games to earn Gold Points on My Nintendo – something that wasn’t possible on Wii U and 3DS. However, physical games get you fewer points than digital games – this is likely to encourage people to buy games digitally.

Rewards for Nintendo Switch are also coming to My Nintendo, though they can’t be viewed at the moment – they’re labelled as “coming soon”.

This week’s issue of Famitsu will obviously have a ton of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild content – but it also has the special artwork you see above, which features the original Link from the first Legend of Zelda game handing over the Master Sword of Resurrection to the current Link from Breath of the Wild. This celebrates the 30-year history of the series as well as the connection between those two games specifically, which have a focus on an open world and a freedom to choose where to go and what to do at any time.

Today, the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account highlighted a small change being made to Roller weapons in Splatoon 2. If you keep ZR pressed for a certain amount of time while moving around, you get a slight speed boost. This should help Roller players with covering more turf and with more easily closing the distance to opposing players.
