Nintendo has released an important new update for the Switch.
Nintendo Switch system update 10.0.2 is available to download right now.
The new firmware update 10.0.2 addresses a problem with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the latest update also makes general stability improvements, which should lead to a smoother experience.
“General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience,” reads the Nintendo Switch update 10.0.2 patch notes.
“We have fixed an issue where a Nintendo Switch console with system menu version 10.0.0 or 10.0.1 does not set up a new Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, sometimes causing incorrect joystick control.”
That’s pretty much it for update 10.0.2, although if you’ve experienced the aforementioned problem, then it’s an essential download.
The update arrives at the same time as Nintendo’s new Special Demo for Splatoon 2.
Switch owners can currently download the Splatoon 2 Special Demo for free by visiting the Nintendo eShop.
The limited time game trial comes to an end at 11pm on May 6.
And don’t worry about being able to play online, because Nintendo is even giving away seven day free trials for Switch Online.
“During the demo event, players will be able to jump online and splat it out in 4-on-4 Turf War battles with friends and other players who own the full game,” Nintendo explains.
“Players can also try out Ranked Battles and the Salmon Run co-op mode.
“Not only will players have the chance to splat their hearts out during the demo period, they can also activate a seven-day free trial for Nintendo Switch Online.
“To activate the free trial, players should visit Nintendo eShop on their Nintendo Switch console and go to the ‘Nintendo Switch Online’ section to get started.”
Fans who enjoy the Splatoon 2 Special Demo can pick up the full game at a discounted price.
From now until May 10, Splatoon 2 is available with a 33% discount from the Nintendo eShop.
As Nintendo points out, any progress made during the trial will carry over to the full release.
“The progress players make during the demo event will even carry over to the full game, once purchased,” Nintendo continues.
“Players can also save 25% on the Splatoon 2 + Octo Expansion digital bundle. And until May 10, Splatoon fans can save 33% on all Splatoon phone cases from the Nintendo Official UK Store while stocks last.”
