Okay, so Nintendo’s up to some new tricks with their app for smart devices. We’re talking version 3.0.1 here, folks. Big whoop, right? But hang on—there’s a twist. They’ve slapped a new name on it, switching from “Nintendo Switch Online” to just “Nintendo Switch App.” Like, why drop the word “Online”? Makes you wonder what exactly they’re up to with that move.
So, get this. Now you can check out who’s playin’ what on their Switch 2. And there’s a neat QR code thingy for adding new buddies. Yeah, another way to drag more people into the gaming vortex. Who came up with this? Maybe a genius or someone who really just loves QR codes.
You can throw your screenshots and vids from your Switch 2 up onto the app now. Just the latest 100 or so from the past month. Honestly—sounds great until you’re scrambling through pics like a mad person looking for that ONE epic snap of Link doing something awesome and derpy.
Oh, and speaking of Link, we’ve got “Zelda Notes” now, whatever that means. It’s specifically for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2. Maybe it’s for jotting down heroic deeds or, I dunno, grocery lists? Either way, Zelda fans are probably flipping their lids.
Patch Notes Alert! Here’s the lowdown:
- The app’s sporting a shiny new name. Whoopee.
- Updated designs, because why not?
- Switch 2 consoles are in the club now.
- Upload screenshots and videos from your Switch 2—don’t lose them forever in digital purgatory.
- Grab those GameChat invites, ’cause chatting while gaming is the ultimate multitask.
- More ways to make friends. Or dive deep into the friend abyss.
- Notifications when your friend’s online—a blessing and a curse if you ask me.
- Little fixes, tweaks, nudges. Whatever they call these “improvements.”
Random last thought: What’s next? Virtual high-fives or a Mario-themed meditation app? Who knows with Nintendo. Anyway, I’m off to check if I can remember my friend code—again.
