Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Switch OS 2.0.0: public WiFi, eShop, My Nintendo, Friend Codes

TomaTito on 02 March 2017

Here’s the list of features to be added with this Firmware update:

  • ability to connect to the internet via Wifi hotspots that require authentification;
  • post screenshots on social media;
  • get news via the News feature;
  • access the Nintendo eShop;
  • play online;
  • link a Nintendo Account to the console;
  • use the Parental Controls app;
  • redeem retail games on My Nintendo;
  • Friend Codes;
  • and more…

The Day 1 update will bring the Firmware of the Nintendo Switch to Ver. 2.0.0. Besides the aforementionned functionalities, it will also add a pretty neat feature: one that allows you to automatically turn on your TV when you put the Nintendo Switch into its dock. Sounds like HDMI-CEC to me.

About the Day 1 update, Nintendo doesn’t tell us how big it is, but specifies that it will take about 10 to 20 minutes to download it. Once downloaded, the update should take about 10 seconds to install.

And GameXplain obviously have a video already...

Friend codes? WTF? I thought that Nintendo were through with that.

Seems that the Joy - Con connectivity issues are fixed according to some people on Reddit who have it, supposedly one lad put it behind their back and covered it with their hands and it still worked great. 

 

Friend codes though. REGGIE YOU LIED TO ME. Hopefully they fix this when the paid online kicks in.

Probably just increased the wifi power to improve reception. The dock probably kills it a little bit so it needed to be boosted.

So we get gold coins for physical copies of games?

You got gold coins from the mini classic NES too. But yeah, you get less coins than if you bought it digitally though.

Better than nothing, but digital nets you €4-6 more in reward points. Still not enough of a reason to go digital, because basically all the additional money you earn in coins is offset by the costs of the SD cards that you need to hold your games.

If Nintendo had family share, I would go fully digital, but it doesn't seem like it.
