Nintendo Switch Update 19.0.1 Improves Connectivity and System Performance Amid Speculation of Switch 2 Release

Nintendo has made an important advancement with its latest software update for the Nintendo Switch. This update aims to rectify various issues that users have encountered, enhancing overall performance and user experience.

A new version, identified as 19.0.1, has been made available. This update not only includes general enhancements to system stability but also specifically addresses a connectivity problem with the GameCube Controller Adapter and GameCube Controllers. Furthermore, it rectifies complications that previously hindered certain network functions, such as downloading software while the Nintendo Switch was in power-saving mode.

To take advantage of these improvements, users will need to navigate to their system settings to proceed with the installation of the update.

In recent news, Nintendo launched a new OLED bundle for the Switch, exclusive to Europe, priced at £309.99. This bundle features a sleek white Switch OLED console, a pre-installed digital copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and includes a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online.

Although there has been no official announcement regarding the Nintendo Switch 2, it is anticipated that details will emerge before the end of 2024, with a potential release slated for 2025. Speculation surrounding the new console has intensified over the past year, and recent leaks have surfaced online, purportedly revealing the final design of the Switch 2. Ten out of twelve images that circulated appeared to show 3D model renders, indicating that this new iteration could feature a thicker profile, a larger screen, and an upgraded kickstand design, comparable to the OLED model.
