Nintendo released a new system software update for Nintendo Switch on Monday, version 47. 0.0, which lets console owners remap controller buttons on the Joy-Con controllers and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, as well as transfer software data from system memory to an SD card (and vice versa).

The update also gives Animal Crossing fans some new user icons from New Horizons : Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy Nook, Isabelle, Wilbur, CJ, and Flick.

Here’s how Nintendo describes the option to transfer data, from the company official patch notes :

Added an option to transfer software data between the system memory and an SD card.

Users can now transfer downloadable software, update data, and DLC from the system memory to an SD card (and vice versa).

Note that save data and some update data cannot be transferred to an SD card. The option to move software data can be found under System Settings> Data Management.

And here’s how Nintendo describes the new option to remap controller buttons, a new feature that can be found in System Settings> Controllers and Sensors> Change Button Mapping:
