Switch Lite News

Version 9.0 of Nintendo Switch firmware is now out, as of September 9th. With it comes many tweaks, bug fixes, and changes, as well as a few minor features. Most of these are just small improvements, so nothing too incredible, but they do ultimately make everything a little better. Version 9.0 has introduced a new search feature for the News Channel, a QR Code option to sign into your Nintendo Account, as well as new touch screen sensitivity settings. The update also includes the ability to stop the Switch from recognizing inputs from the console buttons, with the exception of the Home and Capture buttons. However, that last bit is only relevant to the Switch Lite.

The Nintendo Switch Lite, announced Wednesday, July 10, will start at a cool $199.99 compared to its predecessor’s $299.99 price tag. In a new video, Nintendo General Producer of the Switch Yoshiaki Koizumi said players the world over are already enjoying Nintendo Switch and its growing catalog of games.
