Nintendo Switch Patch 2.1.0 Available for Download
Now you're playing with the power of general system stability improvements!
Nintendo Switch System Update 2.1.0 is now available for download and it is a delightfully painless fast experience.
How to Perform Nintendo Switch System Update 2.1.0
In most situations, the Nintendo Switch will automatically download the most recent system update while it is connected online. You can verify your current menu version and manually start the update if necessary.
Verify Your Current Menu Version and Manually Start the Update
1. From the HOME Menu, select “System Settings.”
2. Scroll down the menu on the left-hand side and select “System.”
- The current system menu version will be displayed under “System Update.”
3. Select "System Update," to start the system update process.
The Switch warns you before beginning the update's download.
This update doesn't seem that big. I was able to download it in less than 2 minutes.
Within 5 minutes, my Nintendo Switch was fully updated and ready to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Nintendo's patch notes only state that Switch System Update 2.1.0 provides "general system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience."

I saw an email from Best Buy saying that they will have them for sale today on their website at 12 PM CT. NES Mini too.

Well it was more complicated than that.
I checked target.com, and they had "limited availability" at a few stores. I called one of them, and they said they had 1. I hopped in the car and when I got there, they said somebody else got it.
I was sad.
So I checked the site again and all those limited availability entries were gone. But there was a new one !
I drove another 20 minutes and scored the only one they had. Then I had to go to a Best Buy on the other side of town to get a pro controller.-
TLDR: Clay walked into a random Target and they had 45 sitting on the shelf, on sale for half price, so he bought one.

I've seen people posting about just walking in and getting them at Walmart

I woke up yesterday and decided I wanted one so I looked at istocknow.com and found a Target near my place that listed them in stock. Showed up at 8 when they opened, walked in and was out of there in less than 10 minutes with one. No hassle. It was less than an hour between deciding to buy one and actually having it. The Target people said they're getting small daily shipments now.
There were a bunch of parents trickling in with kids as I was walking out (probably because it's spring break) so I imagine if you don't get there right as they open, they might run out pretty fast. -

The shipments have been flowing pretty regularly now, I would say it should be relatively easy to find now.
-
-
Relatively is probably more key in that sentence than I wanted it to be. I'm seeing people actually finding them before they're insta sold out now.

My guess is this is fixing the browser hack issue that should've been fixed before the first production Switch was made (because it was public knowledge by then... oh Nintendo) and maybe some slight OS stability changes but not much else yet. HDMI power switching I'm sure is on their radar but I doubt it was fixed. Only patch notes say "enhanced stability" so who the fuck knows for sure.

Having played after installing it last night that's not true.

Wouldn't that be a Zelda patch that would be expected to fix it?
-
Nope, it's definitely an OS level issue.
-
-
It basically needs to completely disable the HDMI out while in sleep mode and doesn't always do it for whatever reason. That's immaterial of what game is suspended, if one is at all.
-
Whoops I misreplied. I was talking about the Zelda frame rate issue.
-
Ah, well yeah I assume that's probably a Zelda patch in there but the WiFi based framerate issues I believe are another OS bug to get patched out. Remaining stuff probably won't be although I do hope they fix the moblin physics bug.
