Nintendo dropped a major Switch 2 and Switch firmware update earlier this month, and it’s now followed this up with a much smaller patch.
Although this firmware update isn’t a big one, it does appear to address some important issues. This includes an issue where a few Error Codes would repeatedly occur when attempting to perform a transfer between the Switch and Switch 2. There are also some fixes for connection issues.
Apart from this, is some general system improvements on both platforms. They’re focused on making both devices super stable. Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Nintendo’s official support pages:
