The latest Nintendo Switch system update has added some more banned words to its list as well as made a few improvements to the console. 

As detailed in the latest system update patch notes, the Nintendo Switch has now been updated to ver. 15.0.1. This update doesn't add or change very much overall but it does improve general system stability, like usual. 

Some of the more interesting notes in this update include two resolved issues, the first of which fixes an issue causing "Error Code: 2181-1000 to appear when playing DLC from a console other than your primary console." The second "resolved an issue preventing screenshots during specific in-game scenes for some games."

Thanks to the Nintendo data miner @OatmealDome on Twitter, we also know a few of the lesser-known changes made in the 15.0.1 update. According to the data miner, the latest update also adds more words to the banned word list including a few Japanese phrases which are used to tell someone to "disappear", "get lost", and "shut up" in Katakana. 

Oatmeal Dome also spotted that the Nintendo Switch's web browser and system apps were updated, most probably for bug fixes and stability, but other than that not a lot has changed. 

There's still a ton of reasons to be excited about being a Nintendo Switch owner though. Now that we're in November it's officially Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release month, meaning we only have to wait *checks notes* 18 days before we can start exploring the Paldea region. You can see what other games we have to look forward to with our upcoming Switch games list.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at 12DOVE before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
