Nintendo's day-one update for the Switch 2 is just a big 'ON' switch


Nintendo's day one update for the Switch 2 enables most of the consoles core featuers.

This is all by design, as Nintendo wanted the console as locked down as possible in order to prevent leaks ahead of time. They didn’t even send review units to press ahead of launch this time around (it’s fine, I’m not bitter). I won’t give them the clicks by linking here, but suffice to say seeing leakers and hackers get their hands on the console early only to realize they can’t do much of anything was strangely satisfying.
