The Nintendo Switch has been chugging along since its release over two years ago, and with no signs of slowing down in popularity anytime soon, Nintendo is keeping the goodies coming. Not only have they been announcing a mountain of video games that will be coming to the hybrid console, but they’ve also been rolling out updates to ensure the experience is what it needs to be for each player. Luckily, they’ve introduced a new update that brings with it a host of new features for all to enjoy.

As outlined on the Nintendo website, the update includes new options, icons, and system stability improvements. In addition to this, Nintendo Switch users will now be able to transfer their save data between Switch systems for individual games. To do this, simply head into the System Settings, go to Data Management, and the Transfer Your Save Data option will be found there. Here is what else is new with the 8.0.0 update:
