We’ve just had another system update arrive for Nintendo Switch (and the Switch Lite of course), and while it doesn’t do anything major, it does restore a neat feature that sadly went missing following the last update.

When that rolled out, the little animation that played when you attached your Joy-Con to the console would no longer match the colour of said Joy-Con. Ok, so this wasn’t exactly a system breaker, but it was still a cool little detail that had been removed.

Happily, Nintendo have restored it in this latest system update, as well as the more general stability improvements that we’re used to seeing in these announcements. The full patch notes are below, but to be honest, there’s nothing in there that we haven’t already told you.

Are you happy to see this return? Let us know in the usual place.
