Обзор Lucky enough to snag a Switch 2 preorder? Your old Switch is getting ready to transfer your data

[Обзор]

• The Nintendo Switch just got a big update to Ver. 20.0.0, released April 29.
• The biggest additions are system transfers to Switch 2, support for virtual game cards, and GameShare.
• However, when using the virtual game cards, you cannot simultaneously play that same game online on two Switches.

The hype for the Nintendo Switch 2 is still going strong, and unless you’ve been very lucky, Switch 2 preorders have been quite hard to secure. So if you managed to snag one, congratulations! Everyone’s quite envious of you. With the hard part out of the way, you can now focus on the next important step — getting your current Nintendo Switch ready to transfer all your data.

Nintendo just released a new system update on April 29, and this is a big one. The most important addition with this update is the capability to transfer all of your data from that Switch over to the Switch 2 once you get it. The update also brings support for virtual game cards, as well as the GameShare feature that requires a Switch 2 to work. But there’s a catch to how some of the new additions work, according to Kotaku.
