Earlier this month, after Nintendo released the major Version 21.0.0 firmware update for both Switch 2 and the original Switch, the company has now followed up with a more minor patch — Version 21.0.1. This update primarily focuses on resolving data-transfer errors between consoles and improving connectivity, thereby further enhancing overall system stability.

The most critical fix in this update addresses the recurring error codes that appeared during system transfers between the two console generations.

Key Fixes

• Resolved an issue where error 2011-0301 or 2168-0002 would repeatedly occur when attempting to transfer data from a Nintendo Switch system to a Nintendo Switch 2 system via local communication.
  This fix greatly improves the process of migrating user data and saving files to the new console.

Switch 2–Specific Fixes

• Addressed an issue where, after waking the system from sleep mode or turning off airplane mode, wireless controllers or Bluetooth audio devices would sometimes fail to reconnect.

General Improvements

In addition to these specific fixes, both platforms' Version 21.0.1 updates include routine enhancements:

• General system stability improvements to enhance the user experience.

Previously, Version 21.0.0 introduced several significant updates, including changes to the HOME Menu, improvements to GameChat, and updates related to game cards.

This minor update builds upon Version 21.0.0, offering further optimizations based on user-reported stability and connectivity issues.
