Although the Switch is getting on, Nintendo is still busy rolling out regular firmware updates. Following a minor update at the end of last year, it’s now released the big Version 18.0.0 update.
It’s added in an extra auto-sleep option, added Korean as a supported language for parental controls and as usual includes some “general system stability improvements” to enhance the overall experience. Here are the official patch notes:
Ver. 18.0.0 (Released March 25, 2024)
Added “15 Minutes” as an option for “Auto-sleep when playing on TV” in Sleep Mode Settings.
Added Korean as a supported language for “Nintendo Switch Parental Controls” introductory video.
When the console language is set to Korean, the video can be accessed from Settings> Parental Controls.
General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
Dataminer ‘OatmealDome’ has taken a look at what’s going on behind the scenes in Version 18.0.0, and it seems the “bad words” list has been updated. Here’s what else was mentioned:
“[Nintendo Switch Firmware Update] 18.0.0 is now out. Pretty much every system component was updated. This is normal for major updates, as the entire OS is rebuilt with a newer SDK version.”
If we hear anything else, we’ll let you know. This latest update follows on from Version 17.0.1 which was released in December last year.
