New Nintendo Switch System Update 10 Adds Controller Button Remapping, New AC User Icons, News Bookmark Feature and More

Nintendo Switch System Update 10.0.0 has just been rolled out by Nintendo and with comes some interesting new features.

The brand-new firmware update for Nintendo’s hybrid platform is available for download now and aside from the traditional stability improvements, this major update adds new features to the system, including the option to remap the controller buttons, new Animal Crossing user profile icons, a news bookmark feature, the option to transfer data between the Switch’s internal memory and an SD card, and a new section in user Settings for play activity settings.
