Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.0 Is Now Live - Nintendo Life

Although there were reports of a minor system update on its way to the Switch last month, it seems Nintendo has instead jumped straight to Version 12.0.0?

If you were hoping for things like folders, themes and various other exciting features, we're sorry to say, but there's none of that.

Well-known dataminer OatmealDome has also shared some additional information about Version 12.0.0:!

Have you downloaded this update yet?

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

Now can we PLEASE have Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Wii Classics via Nintendo Switch Online PLEASE and THANK YOU #Nintendo 🙏🙏🙏?

I really don't think GameCube or Wii are on the agenda, at least in that way, maybe they'd end up selling those games as individual VC releases, I could see that happening.

But in terms of services to join the likes of NES and SNES Online, I think our only hopes left are N64 and Game Boy (Advance)?

The update also wiped the Super Mario 35 icon off my Switch menu.

And the console wags a finger when I search for Super Mario 3D All Stars in the eShop.

All Mario icons removed from the Switch profile icons list.

Another update, still no folders.

The eShop is also apparently loading faster (have not tested it myself, yet).

Lame update, at least give us a menu music or reuse the one from the SNES CE.

I love how Nintendo is just not going to add folders.

@NerdyBoutKirby I just checked after updating to Version 12.0.0 and it said the controllers were already up to date - so I guess not.

Question out of left field, but is nier replicant 1.29384756whatever coming to the switch.

is it just me, or is the option for miiverse profile pictures something new with v12.0.

@SnesSwitch as much as I would love for Nintendo to do this, I don't think they'll put all their eggs on the same basket.

Can't wait for dataminers to find more "info" about switch "pro" and have another 3 or 4 months of more rumors and speculation..?

I updated my Switch to this patch and every physical copy of any game with Mario were deleted before my very surprised eyes.

If they can fix the problem of my fan blasting when i turn it on from sleep in handheld mode that would be nice...the only fix I have currently is to switch it on and off from sleep mode a couple times in a row to get it to turn off.

People at Nintendo have, updated the Nintendo Switch Eshop.

The Eshop menu and verify for update is faster?

The left section of the Eshop is not anymore Red.

Also the Eshop mario progress bar with Mario, is not displayed.

I'll just try again tomorrow!

hacked Switch can use custom theme and custom layout since before sigh.?

Apparently new update turns switch into a 4k beast and allows for gamecube and n64 downloads!

This update was mostly just to sweep out the remains of the Mario 35th anniversary..L

the eShop is now boring again..D

I haven't checked if the Mario 3D All-Stars profile icons are still there but i wouldn't be surprised if they aren't, and if they are i guess they probably removed the icons from being available for new Nintendo Switch owners..R

Surely we'll get folders one day right.

I rarely use my Switch since last week so i will update my Switch right now.

I think this happened before this update but the eShop has started displaying bundles in the sales charts; I remember that was why Doom Eternal and Overwatch never appeared on the charts, unless I'm somehow horribly mistaken.

I do think they will become more regular again.

Too bad a system update wouldn't be able to fix it, I think, as it's most likely a hardware-based issue

Rumors say that after the 12th major Nintendo update, an electrically charged and highly reactive atom is NOT unstable anymore

Its great that they fixed some things but its still missing features like a Messenging App, Folders, Themes and a Browser

but still a good firmware update

@Burning_Spear it also replaces the running Mario in eShop elements with his pensively floating ghost

All eShop screen transitions last a minute now

I think such an update (bringing compatibility to new hardware) would justify the big version bump.

FINALLY they updated creport-sysmodule

I mostly play physical where I can, so folders would be nice, but not essential for me

I can live without themes and folders

Nintendo:Here's an system update that provides more stability

So STILL no themes, no folders, and no LED light indicator for notifications around the Home button...Man Nintendo is just mailing it in with the Switch at this point

And this is update 12.0.0...

I'm just waiting for my Pro Controller to have a little light around the home button like I've been hearing about for 2 years

@Burning_Spear I think they used up their quota of evil and anti-consumer behaviour before the end of the financial year...let's see what ruthlessness they come up with going forward

Imagine your Switch having a K.K Slider key chain hanging from it

Thought this would be a mere stability update at first, but I guess it actually is doing something useful for a change

my Switch seems slightly unstable, because of how many games are on there
