Big day for fans of "general system stability improvements"

Nintendo has released the first Nintendo Switch 2 update, and in classic Nintendo fashion it's a nice big helping of vague patch notes that tell us nothing.

We've had the Nintendo Switch 2 in our grubby mitts for two weeks now, and after a fortnight of breaking Mario Kart World and playing the litany of launch ports while waiting for Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo has released the first post-launch update for the system. Granted, the Switch 2 launched in a pretty solid state with no real issues unless you tried to get cheeky and use a flash cart (or if your order was part of those 3,000 consoles stolen from a truck).
