Nintendo Switch Software Update

Players of the gaming system of Nintendo waited for a while before they got the latest firmware update for the Switch.

According to the report by Game Spot, the previous update for the Switch, version 14.1.1, was released on April 20. Its rollout is nearly a month away from the March update (14.0.0).

So some would assume that the next release should be sometime in May. But the more than a month-long wait finally comes to an end.

Although the Japanese gaming firm provided the full patch notes of the new update, it only gave away a vague explanation of what's new.

That said, it appears that the update that Switch players patiently waited for is a minor one.

But on top of that, Nintendo Life mentions more explicit changes in the new Switch update, thanks to Nintendo data miner, OatmealDome.

It appears that the new version 14.1.2 fixed a few bugs, including what seems to have something to do with its Bluetooth connectivity.
