Nintendo Switch System Update 18.0.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

Something that doesn't involve just stability...I'm shocked, SHOCKED.

I only update when I can't access the eShop.

A small fix there, but a useful one for anybody that was having issues finding their wi-fi as an access point.

Oh boy! Sweet stability! The Nintendo Switch's biggest necessity!

It boggles my mind that after 7 years, we still only have Basic Black and Basic White themes to choose from. A dark green or blue would have been nice. Or even a Basic Grey that's actually black, like the Basic Black is grey.

Perhaps update 20.0 will bring some new shades.

My switch is so stable it can stay on top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and not fall. Isn't that stable guys

stable console=stable me!

I'm going to need more horses to fill all this stable.

How about a patch that accurately records playtime?

No?

I’ve been losing playtime when viewing by most played with some games inexplicably dropping down in the list at random for no reason.

@Joeynator3000 it fixes an issue, so that's pretty much stability in a nutshell.
The only difference is that they wrote what was fixed.

Yeah well some people think that stability updates are only patching CVE's, but it can include any number of security or bug fixes really.

After the update my switch did not started, only after a hard reset. I tought it was bricked at first...

Even after the sun has burnt out and earth can't sustain human life, the roaches will still be talking about the latest stability update. That and waiting for Prime 4.

@Novamii The Inklings do need to play Splatoon 3 on something

Nintendo have found another stable. Have they taken a picture and mounted it on the wall to the satisfaction of the owner though?

thanks Nintendo, my Nintendo Switch is so stable it could survive a nuclear wasteland.

@Bass_X0 - I've been experiencing this exact same problem over the past few months. It appears to be happening with much older games and ones i've not played for over 12 months... Very annoying.

Would be great if the eshop got some update to block / ignore certain games and developers. One simple change to block red deer games would remove 550+ pieces of shovelware from the eshop searches. It's actually made searching through the sales pretty much impossible since in EU all 500 pieces of their software are on sale all the time.

I have a network situation where my work WiFi isn't supported by the Switch because of the security profile. Which seems unnecessary, but in genereal the Switch is handling network really ell compared to earlier Nintendo systems. ^^

My switch is so stable it’s unstable

THEY GAVE US MORE THAN STABILITY
WE ARE EATING GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

I only came here for stability jokes

How many horses do you have in your stable?

Stable...staaaaable...daylight come and me wanna go home...

Nintendo must be the only company where it makes me groan when they release a so-called 'update' 🙄

"General system stability improvements"
You'd think after years of mockery from the fanbase, they'd at least stop using phrases with the word "stability" — if only for optics reasons. Because it paints the company in a negative light if all their updates revolve around "stability" and usually nothing else.

Nintendo is so out-of-touch.

I come for the comments, but I sta for the bility.

@Bass_X0 @Harmunt If you're willing to sync your Nintendo account with a third-party service, there's a site called Exophase that'll let you see accurate playtime for all your games. You can only update it in chunks of 20 games because it is pulling from your play activity, but it'll display them all once you've gone through the process. Might be a good workaround - I was hit with the same issue before I got an OLED and the slate was wiped clean for sorting by total playtime, but now I have something that's truly accurate and without pooling other accounts' playtime.

Wild prediction: Update 18.0.2 will include themes and other stuff that we need

(I’m delusional, that will NEVER happen…instead…more damn stability…)

Don't know but lately SandRock taken some unknown errors on me from this? I had three sudden software closures but I have error report enable so hopefully either Nintendo or SandRock team can figure this out.
