Nintendo Switch 5.0.0 firmware update released

The Switch has got a new firmware update

The Nintendo Switch has many great and fun games but there are some features and apps that all other home consoles have but the Nintendo Switch doesn’t. Those missing apps and features are a wifi browser and streaming apps such as YouTube and Netflix. The only streaming app in North America that the Nintendo Switch has is Hulu. One of the reasons that Nintendo hasn’t released a browser for the Nintendo Switch yet is homebrew. On the Wii U players were able to install Homebrew through the browser and no company likes that. Thanks to a video released a while back the 5.0.0 update was hyped but that video was fake.

In the new update Nintendo has added 24 new ARMS and Kirby character icons for users. Now if you link your Nintendo Switch account to your Facebook and Twitter account you will be able to add your friends through friend suggestions. The new update has made many changes to parental controls. Now you can add a game to the whitelist to exclude from the parental controls restrictions and now if a recording is taken from a restricted game it will get restricted by parental control. Now Pro Controllers grip colors will be shown in the controller menu. You can read the full patch notes below.
