Getting bored of your Switch\u2018s software? No longer, buster! The company just put the Nintendo Switch 11.0.0 software update, which came jam-packed with fancy new features.<\/p>\n

Rather than just listing them all out and telling you everything\u2019s gonna be okay, we\u2019re doing something different instead: ranking the new updates by from worst to best. Yeah, you could<\/em> just go here and look through all the updates<\/a> \u2014 but where\u2019s the fun in that?<\/p>\n

So, without futher ado, here are the new features in the Nintendo Switch 11.0.0 update ranked from WORST to BEST.<\/p>\n

7) The new \u2018Trending With Friends\u2019 feature<\/h2>\n

Two things. First: I don\u2019t care what my friends have been playing. Second: I do not want to know how long they\u2019ve been playing. Or, indeed, anyone to even have an inkling of my play time. THIS IS MY BUSINESS.<\/p>\n

Again\u2026 who cares?<\/em><\/p>\n

6) The 12 new icons arriving on Nintendo Switch 11.0.0<\/h2>\n

These are all Mario related, which is fine if you really like Mario, I guess? But I really struggle to even begin to care.<\/p>\n

5) The ability to copy video and screenshots via USB<\/h2>\n

Yep, the Nintendo Switch 11.0.0 update means you can plug your console into a computer and grab any screenshots or videos you want from it. This is may be useful for some people, but I can\u2019t ever<\/em> imagine myself connecting my Switch to my computer to grab a picture of me putting Link\u2019s butt on a dead Moblin. Mediocre feature.<\/p>\n

4) Nintendo Switch Online being added to the Home menu<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m a fan of Nintendo Switch Online<\/a> \u2014 but I question how much I need or like this new button. Does it make getting to the service quicker? Undoubtedly? But does it also look like trash? You tell me.<\/p>\n

3) The fact you can prioritize downloads on the Nintendo Switch 11.0.0 update<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m a big fan of this one. There have been quite a few moments where I accidentally set a whole load of games to update and I\u2019m left waiting with nothing to do but ponder my pathetic existence. The less of that, the better.<\/p>\n

2) Wirelessly transferring files to your phone (or other smart device)<\/h2>\n

Again \u2014 I\u2019m not really one for sharing screenshots and such, but I do think this is cool. It makes so much more sense to wirelessly fire across some files from the Switch than to plug the thing into the computer. What are we, animals?<\/p>\n

Yep, easily one of the best features in the Nintendo Switch 11.0.0 update.<\/p>\n

\n

With the new system update on #NintendoSwitch<\/a>, you are now able to wirelessly transfer photos and videos from your Nintendo Switch to a smartphone for easier sharing!https:\/\/t.co\/FHsNV9djsE<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/unXPYkNej1<\/a><\/p>\n

1) Save data being linked across consoles<\/h2>\n

This is hands-down the best new feature. I really wish account-linked save data was around a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Before I got a Switch, I created an account on a friend\u2019s console and pumped hours and hours into Breath of the Wild.<\/em> And when I finally got my own console? I had to start all over again. Like a dickhead.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I had to suffer, but all those little Callums won\u2019t ever have to go through what I did \u2014 and that means I have something to lord over them. A win-win. Admittedly, this is probably more useful for folks who have a regular Switch and a Lite version, but this ranking is all about me, so whatever. Sue me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s us done! Most of the new features in the Nintendo Switch 11.0.0 update are now ranked and you can\u2019t do a damn thing about it.<\/p>\n

Did you know we have a newsletter all about consumer tech? It\u2019s called Plugged In \u2013 and you can subscribe to it right here<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n
