So a new Switch firmware update is out, and it’s not just “stability!” Like, there are actual features!
Version 11.0.0 adds a few new things into the mix, including automatic cloud save data download, a Switch online app, a “trending games your friends are playing” feature on the user page, a new way to transfer screenshots, a download prioritization feature (finally!), button mapping alterations, and 12 more icons (we’ll get to that).
Easier, non-social-media-or-sd-card screenshot transferring is probably the biggest addition. But in natural Nintendo fashion, it’s not as simple as say, Xbox or PlayStation make it with their apps. With this process you need to scan a QR code on your Switch, then scan it again to create a URL that allows you use download the picture. Obtuse, but it does work: I just tried it to capture the header image above. You can transfer them directly to your PC via USB, too.
Nintendo also added a few Mario 35th anniversary avatars…which…are a little late given that on March 31, 2021, a lot of what they’re celebrating is going away. Nintendo! Why must you do this. It’s like rubbing our faces in it!
