The Next Nintendo Switch Update Will Add Some Minor Features

Nintendo has released the next update for the Nintendo Switch, and with 9.0.0 comes a lot of minor additions people might find useful. The company released the details here, and we have some of them for you below. But the shorthand to this is you're going to be given a few cool tools to use. First off, you'll have notification alarms in the settings. The News feed now has a search option to find what you're looking for. You can now set the sensitivity of the touch screen in case you feel it's not working for you. That and more as you can add the new update to the Nintendo Switch now.
