Nintendo Switch System Update 19.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

After reports about multiple Switch users experiencing problems with the latest firmware, it seems Nintendo has rolled out a new update, bumping the hybrid system up to Version 19.0.1.

It’s a relatively quick download and you can manually perform the update by going into the system settings > system > system update. After this, the system will download the update, restart and the latest patch will be applied.

Included are some fixes tied to the GameCube controller issues as well as a problem where software downloads weren’t functioning properly in sleep mode. Here are the full patch notes, according to Nintendo’s Japanese website:
