Here's what's in the day one Nintendo Switch update, and the first few eShop titles and prices revealed
|

With the Switch launch less than 24 hours away it's all-systems-go for Nintendo, especially now they've just launched their first update for the Switch.

A few lucky members of the media have had their hands on the Switch for a couple of weeks now, but since release day's creeping up the system is now updated and unleashed in all of its Switchy glory.

Included in the update you'll have:

  • A Switch battery % indicator

  • A 'Match TV Power State' (i.e. it matches your TV if it's asleep or awake)

  • A notification that your controllers have synced when they've woken up

  • Access to the eShop

  • Access to sync up Nintendo Network ID

  • Access to post directly on Social Networks

  • Access to add friends

While we're at it, the aforementioned eShop may not have any games on it just yet, we know when a few bits and bobs are on their way:

  • Super Bomberman R, £49.99 - 2nd March 2017

  • ACA Neo Geo Shock Troopers and World Heroes Perfect, £6.29 each - 3rd March 2017

  • Splatoon 2 / Mario Kart 8 / Arms (TBD)

We'll keep you updated if anything else arises.
