Nintendo’s new Switch 1 update is getting things ready for Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 1 is gearing up for an exciting update just over a month until the release of the new Switch 2. This update introduces handy features to ease the transition between consoles: Home menu buttons on Virtual Game Cards (VGCs) will let you share games locally via Wi-Fi, and a cloud storage option for System Transfer will save your progress remotely before switching to the new console or transferring it back. However, users are cautioned to plan carefully due to potential issues like factory resets or data expiration within one year—consider waiting if possible.
