Switch’s firmware update last night was notable for several reasons. It added features like video capture and the ability to transfer data, but it also included support for eShop pre-loads – like what has been on Wii U and 3DS.

In Japan, the very first pre-load option has gone live. By accessing the eShop, it’s possible to purchase Snipperclips Plus ahead of time. Doing so allows you to download most of the necessary data, with only a small update needed to begin playing at launch.

Snipperclips Plus takes up 1.1GB in case you’re curious.
