Nintendo Switch received a new one update for the firmware, which reaches version 17.0.1. However, this is a decidedly “minor” update, which in fact does not even require restarting the console after installation.
What are the novelty? Apparently the package does nothing but add new terms to the list of words prohibited by Nintendo, in this case a series of references to minorities, some death threats in Japanese as well as, curiously, the expression “let's stop being friends” in that same language.
However relevant details, in light of the 140 million Nintendo Switches sold so far: a huge installed baseto which it is necessary to pay attention also from this point of view.
No Nintendo Switch 2, though
Today's update could more or less anticipate what will be the next few months of Nintendo Switch, given that apparently Nintendo Switch 2 has been postponed to 2025 and the Kyoto company will therefore find itself facing a 2024 of “maintenance “.
The last word has not been said, in any case: tomorrow a new Nintendo Direct will be broadcast and everything suggests that the long-awaited announcement of the release of Hi-Fi RUSH on the Japanese hybrid console, and perhaps also Sea of Thieves, could arrive : we'll see.
