This latest update fixes an issue with Nintendo Switch consoles ver 10.0.0 or 10.0.1 regarding setting up a Pro Controller. This issue would cause new Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers to drift. This issue has since been resolved with the latest update. Once again, this update does not affect Joy-Cons or older Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers.

In recent news, Nintendo confirmed that over 160,000 accounts had been affected by recent hacking attempts. The attempts began in early April and were recently addressed. In light of this event, Nintendo has completely removed the ability for users to log into their Nintendo Accounts using their Nintendo Network ID.
