Nintendo Switch Button Mapping Options Added in Update 10.0.0

A new Nintendo Switch update has been released, and it brings some helpful features. Most notable is Nintendo Switch button mapping. Upon downloading 10.0.0, which is immediately available as of 8pm CT on April 13, 2020, people can change around the control schemes. In addition, Animal Crossing: New Horizons profile avatars, software data transfer options for moving data from a system to a microSD card or back, bookmark options for up to 300 news items, and adjusted play activity settings have appeared.

If someone wishes to do some Nintendo Switch button mapping, they need to head to System Settings. In there, there is a Change Button Mapping option under Change Grip/Order. Heading in shows all of the currently active controllers and allows you to change, save, and reset mapping for them.
