The Nintendo Switch has been going strong for a long time, with no signs of Nintendo wanting to move on to a new console anytime soon. It doesn’t have to, either, and that’s a good thing. The hardware is more than suitable for fans, and there are plenty of Switch games on the horizon: Bayonetta 3, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and many more.

Of course, the firmware has to undergo constant updates to keep the entire Nintendo ecosystem up to date, too. Last month, the company released Nintendo Switch update 14.1.2, which focused on general system stability, improved a few OS features, and added a word to the bad name list. Nintendo has also now pushed a new rebootless update to this firmware version.

Nintendo updated the Switch Online mobile app today and also pushed a small “rebootless” update for the Switch itself. Fans don’t need to do anything for this update, as it is silently installed, and it’s rather small to boot. Per Nintendo dataminer OatmealDome, this new update essentially just adds a few new words to the bad words list.

switch-repair

Specifically, these terms include the following (obviously not verbatim):

  • A Japanese racial slur
  • Variations of spellings for Hitler
  • A sexual term
  • http://icloud.com
  • http://outlook.com

The Japanese addition is reportedly a continuance of new inclusions made in firmware 14.1.1, as Nintendo continues looking into the sheer variety of ways someone can make these types of distasteful remarks. Of course, the two URLs may seem like the oddest additions here, but according to OatmealDome, it seems that it's to prevent e-mail entries in certain text fields where they should not be.

It may be a small update, but it adds to the last major Switch update, 14.0.0. This update was released back in May and alongside it came a long-demanded feature: groups. Not every update can include major additions like this, and it’s possible fans don’t even realize this update takes place. After all, it’s small and has little-to-no impact on the majority of users—only those attempting to do something inappropriate on their hybrid consoles.

The Group feature on Switch could be refined a little more, sure, and it’s possible Nintendo does this in the future. But continued iterations and seemingly small additions like this are important for the life and safety of the Nintendo Switch console too, even if it doesn’t appear to be slowing down.
