To be clear, you still can't prise your Animal Crossing island off your Switch. But you can now transfer games, updates and DLC from your system memory to your SD card, or vice versa. It should make managing available memory a little easier. Nintendo cautions that "some update data" still won't be able to be transferred (and that save data cannot either). Another big new feature is the ability to remap controller buttons and save custom configurations. This ability is limited to the Joy-Cons and official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, Nintendo says. Five configurations per controller type can be saved. You can now bookmark news items (up to 300), which I suppose may be useful if you see an announcement for something you want to buy later.
