Switch introduces an interesting feature for downloadable games on Nintendo systems. If you’re looking to free up space, you can archive software. The original data you downloaded will be deleted, but the icon will remain on the Home Menu. If you select that icon, you can easily redownload software.
These are the steps to archive software:
can be done in the following ways:
- From Within Data Management:
- From the HOME Menu, select “System Settings.”
- Scroll down the options on the left and select “Data Management.”
- On the right-hand side select “Manage Software,” then select the software you would like to archive.
- Select “Archive Software.”
- From the Software Options Menu:
- Select a software icon from the HOME Menu.
- Select “Options” at the bottom of the screen, or press the “-“ or “+” Buttons on the Joy-Con controllers.
- Select “Manage Software,” then “Archive Software.”
Fire Emblem Heroes has received its first update. On both iOS and Android, version 1.1.0 is available.
The patch notes specifically call out two things. First, “a new event and a new feature” have been added, though specifics aren’t detailed. System improvements are implemented as well.
Digital Foundry has analysed on their YouTube channel how The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild compares when playing it on a docked Switch vs the portable mode.

Information received about Switch prior to the console’s launch indicated that you’d be able to easily transfer digital games between systems. So long as you have a Nintendo Account, it should be possible. Nintendo has since published information on its support site that explains how you can go about transferring games. And fortunately, it’s pretty simple.
Below are the full steps:
Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata was on hand to sell the first Switch system at GAME Wardour Street’s midnight launch last night. View a video of the events that transpired below.
Ubisoft issued a couple of launch trailers for the new Switch version of Just Dance 2017. See the new videos for yourself below.
UK-based retailer Gameseek got quite a bit of attention in the last couple of months for having sold the Nintendo Switch at what will likely remain the lowest price for quite some time. After the console’s initial announcement, Gameseek was selling pre-orders of the Switch for only £198.50, which ended up being far cheaper than the system’s final retail price announced in January. Nonetheless, Gameseek decided to honor the orders of everyone who pre-ordered at that price.
Today, people all over the world are receiving their Switch orders, and Gameseek decided to add in a little something extra – a certificate for “being part of the historic event and securing a Nintendo Switch in Gameseek’s £80 lower than RRP (£279.99) offer.”
There are two really interesting new additions to Nintendo’s Japanese website: a Legend of Zelda portal and a Mario portal.
You can learn more about each series’ characters and games there. The Legend of Zelda portal is especially interesting since it also features behind-the-scenes info like artwork and production notes (though that section is a bit bare at the moment). There’s also a section that’s not available yet called “Keywords”, marked as “coming soon”. You will likely be able to find infos about recurring themes and names from the Legend of Zelda series there, like the Triforce or the Master Sword.
