A week ahead of Nintendo’s next big Switch game, Super Mario Odyssey, a big software update arrived to the console. It adds some interesting new features to try. But it also doesn’t address an ongoing problem.

Switch update 4.0 allows you to capture video, so you can share clips of games from the system. Previously, you could only take screenshots. The clips are 30 seconds long, and not all games support the recording feature yet.

The update also adds a way to transfer user data to another Switch, something that was actually impossible to do before.

vCard QR Code

vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.

That’s great news, but keep in mind that the data transfer is a local move, and doesn’t back up game save or software data in Nintendo’s cloud. So, if you lose or damage that Switch… you’re still out of luck.
