New Switch system update fixes GameCube controller and sleep mode issues
Version 19.0.1 is available to download now
A new system update for the Nintendo Switch has been released.
According to Nintendo, the Version 19.0.1 update fixes an issue which was preventing some GameCube controllers and controller adapters from being recognised.
It also resolves an issue which was stopping some processes from working properly when the console was in sleep mode, such as downloading software.
The official patch notes have been republished below.
Switch Version 19.0.1
- Fixed an issue with the Nintendo GameCube Controller Adapter and Nintendo GameCube Controller(s) not being recognised.
- Fixed an issue where some network processes, like downloading software, weren’t working as expected during sleep mode.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
Alleged images of Nintendo’s Switch successor appeared online last month, showing a design that’s not too dissimilar from the company’s current-gen console.
While the images are unverified, one source, who has not seen the final ‘Switch 2’ console but has been briefed on Nintendo’s plans, told VGC that the pictures matched what the company had told partners to expect from its design.
The images are also in line with earlier reports on Switch 2’s design. Previously, publications including VGC reported that Switch’s successor would include a larger 8-inch screen, and a Nintendo patent suggested that it would be opting for a new magnetic attachment for its controllers.
