Hey Switch fans, Nintendo just rolled out a shiny new update for both the Switch and Switch 2, bumping them up to Version 22.5.0. While it’s not a massive overhaul, there are some neat features worth checking out.

The update adds Dutch and Russian as new language options for the Switch 2’s text-to-speech and game chat features. Meanwhile, the original Switch gets a slick redesign for the eShop, making it easier to navigate through the growing list of games. Plus, if you’re a fan of dark mode, the eShop can now match your console’s theme color. Handy, right?

Another cool addition is the ability to skip forward or backward by 10 seconds when watching trailers on the eShop or in the News section. Perfect for those quick replays! And speaking of updates, if you’re curious about what else is on the horizon from Nintendo, check out the details on the upcoming Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.

With all these tweaks, Nintendo is clearly gearing up for an exciting 2026 lineup, including exclusives like Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders. If you’re an Xbox fan, you might want to keep an eye on the Xbox restructuring news, as it could impact your gaming plans.

As always, keep your console updated to enjoy the best experience. Happy gaming!
