Nintendo Switch: April 23 system update available, here's what changes

Nintendo has released a new update for the Nintendo Switch system softwareto be precise the 18.0.1 updatewhich is now available to download and install for all console owners.

Considering the more than 7 years of Switch's honorable career, it is better not to expect big news or upheavals from the system updates and the one published today does not represent an exception to the rule.

Specifically, the information on the official Nintendo website talks about unspecified stability interventions to improve the gaming experience and the resolution of a problem issue that prevented some wireless access points from being discovered when setting up a wireless network. For completeness we report below the notes of the complete update:

• Fixed an issue where some wireless access points were not discovered when setting up a new wireless network.
• • If you are unable to update to 18.0.1 due to this issue, temporarily change your wireless network security settings to use WPA2 (AES) only. This will allow you to connect to the wireless network to download and install system updates.
  • Once the update to version 18.0.1 is installed, restore your previous security settings.
• General stability improvements to improve the gaming experience.

The latest news from the world of Nintendo, including eShop discounts and new rumors about Switch 2

In the meantime, many players are waiting to get their hands on Nitendo Switch 2, or whatever the name of the big N's next console will be, about which we currently have no information, at least officially. In this regard, one of the latest rumors states that the console will use Samsung's fifth generation V-NAND, which should guarantee a data reading speed much higher than that of the console currently on the market.

We also point out that today is the last day of the Indie Sales currently underway on the Nintendo Switch eShop, with discounts of up to 75% for independent or low-budget productions, including Hollow Knight, Baltro, Among Us and Ori and the Blind Forest.
