As we all know, the launch of a new console is never perfect. And in the case of the Nintendo Switch 2, this is especially true. The problems encountered by players since its release are proof of this. This is undoubtedly why Nintendo seems to be working hard to improve the situation.
A classic… and fuzzy update for the Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo has released a new update for the Nintendo Switch 2. Numbered 20.1.5, it is available now. As is often the case, the announcement could not be more sober: "General system stability improvements to enhance the user experience." » A phrase already well known to gamers, but which continues to be talked about.
On paper, this version 20.1.5 brings nothing visible to the Nintendo Switch 2. No new menu, no aesthetic changes, and even less expected new features like custom themes or folders to better organize your library. Nintendo remains true to its line: updates are frequent, but very discreet. No detailed notes, no technical explanations. Just the promise of a "more stable" console. But in practice, it's hard to know what's really changed.
Players both amused and frustrated
Unsurprisingly, the community reacted quickly. On specialist forums, comments are rife. Many are ironic about the word "stability," which has become a kind of recurring joke. Others, more serious, are wondering: what do these updates really fix? What bugs have been fixed on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Some report that display issues in 1440p at 120 Hz with HDR are still present. Others mention a delay in commands when the console wakes up from sleep mode. The sometimes erroneous battery level also remains a topic of discussion. Clearly, for some players, the promised stability does not solve everything on the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite the lack of apparent changes, a few details have caught the eye. For example, the retro game Tomba! now works on Switch 2, which was not the case until now. However, Gex remains incompatible. Another piece of information gleaned from the discussions: app groups (a sort of improved folder) have been present since the console's launch. A small improvement over the first Switch, even if some were hoping for even better.
Nintendo remains true to its method
This patch once again confirms Nintendo's way of doing things. Where other manufacturers publish precise lists of modifications, Nintendo plays the minimalist card. This undoubtedly avoids false hopes or unpleasant surprises. But it also leaves players in the dark about the Nintendo Switch 2. For such a recent console, many would like more concrete updates. Or at least, clearer explanations. For now, we'll have to make do with what we have... and guess the rest.
