The Switch may be coming to the tail end of its life, but Nintendo is still showing support for it with new games and even updates.
Following the rollout of Version 19.0.1 in October 2024, Nintendo has now rolled out a new 'rebootless update' for this same firmware patch. As highlighted by dataminer 'OatmealDome' this latest change updates the "bad words list" once again.
Here's a bit more information about this update from the source:
A rebootless update for 19.0.1 was released.
The bad words lists were reshuffled (possibly to reduce false positives), and many new words were added to the Russian list.
There were no other changes.
As previously explained, rebootless updates are "silently installed" on the Switch, so you don't actually have to do anything on your end.
Nintendo's firmware update in October last year followed the usual routine - fixing issues and improving system stability.
Are you running the latest firmware on your Switch? Notice anything else? Let us know in the comments.

The bad word was “Switch 2”
What!!??
No stability?? How is my switch going to stabilize then?
Any chance we may see the "big" 20.0.0 update this year?
russians need more stability i guess 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@AmyTheBrawler you dont know my hype for the BIG stability update. they say not even an elephant stomp will disturb it!!! crazy…
No stability = no stability jokes 😅
We're really are reaching the end, are we? Must be saving full stability updates for the next system.
So stable and my Switch suddenly have My Little Pony theme on Home menu.
Nintendo and their updates... no comments.
Huh, I wonder if it'll let me name a character Grape now.
@AmyTheBrawler If the Switch does get a 20.0.0 update. I hope it's something really interesting and at least somewhat big.
My switch is literally unusable because of the lack of stability in this update smh /j
Its becoming so stable that its foreward capable to play switch 2 games 😂
It's wild to me that we're wrapping up the Switch and it never really got any new features. Folders? The NSO applet? I guess you could count save data backup, but that's really it. It never even got new themes. The eShop never saw a single update. It's just as barebones as the day it launched, and just as slow.
I hope the Switch 2 has a good feature set at launch, because it's probably the feature set it'll sunset with.
2025 begins stable.
I Will buy Switch 2 right away, but will use the switch for years to come. To many games not finished, and my kids will enjoy it.
No stability update must mean the Switch has reached peak stability. They need to get the Switch 2 out soon so the stability team has something to work on.
“There is no mention of the switch successor during this update”
The Switch has left the stable!
In struts the new stallion/pony (TBC).
So we should be getting an NSO update as well soon since this time I do think that those follow even rebootless updates (or at least did last time if I recall correctly).
All I know about being stable is that a well should be nearby, which will earn me 10 rupees from a nice lady for telling her about it. As there are no stables in this update, I shall have to sell mushrooms to wandering strangers.
No horses today, unfortunately.
no stability update? is this the end of Switch era?
Just what we needed. A bad word list update.
@OctolingKing13 it's said that if every person in China jumped at the same time, the vibration would be felt the world over.
Switches would be unaffected.
