Channels. Moreover, downloads made from the user’s PC or smartphone will also begin downloading sooner-than-usual. This activity will take place even the hybrid gaming console is in the sleep mode. In addition to this, there is a slew of refreshed notifications specifically for when the pre-purchased software is ready to be played. Users have the option of adding specific games to their wish-list within the Switch Parental Controls app. However, there is a time limit restriction that users will have to abide by. This option cannot be switched off.
As per the announcement made by Nintendo, the company is also considering preparing the Switch system for any upcoming hardware updates. There will be a revision made to its network, as noted by the self-described hacking enthusiast @SciresM on Twitter. “If you own a Switch, the console usually automatically downloads updates while it’s connected online, but you can also manually start the update if you wish,” notes The Verge.
