Nintendo has released the latest firmware for Switch, and it’s a pretty big one. All users can access version 11.0.0.

One notable feature from today’s update is the ability to transfer screenshots and videos to smart devices or a PC through USB.

Other new elements include a new Trending feature for the User Page, new Mario icons, and more.

Below are the full patch notes:

3DS

A new system update has just gone live for 3DS. Version 11.14.0-46 is out now for all users. Nintendo says of the latest firmware: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”

This is the first 3DS update in almost a year. In December 2019, Nintendo addressed an issue with StreetPass.

Nintendo announced that it was ending production of the 3DS family of systems this past September. That means today’s update could be one of the last firmware upgrades.

Nintendo just issued a new update for Switch. Today’s firmware is now at version 10.2.0, and includes “general system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.”

Switch’s previous system update released in July. It also featured similar stability improvements.

Version 10.0.0 launched in April and was the last major firmware upgrade. It included new features like button remapping, an option to transfer software data between the system memory and an SD card, and more. Though it’s been a few months, if you happened to miss out on those patch notes, we have them here.

Every now and then, when Nintendo upgrades the Switch firmware, it comes with an update for controllers. That’s what happened with last night’s release of version 10.1.0.

To update your controllers, head on over to system settings. Go down to the “Controllers and Sensors” tab, and then simply select “Update Controllers”. The whole process should be quick and easy.

Nintendo unfortunately doesn’t make it clear what these updates actually do. That being said, you may want to carry it out just to ensure your controllers are in tip-top shape.

Thanks to Bernardo for the tip.
