New Nintendo Switch update ensures you’ll never forget to spend your reward points

Nintendo has released a new Switch update, version 14.1.0, that adds notification alerts for platinum points, Nintendo’s currency for redeeming free digital rewards.  

While there’s no sign of the usual stability and performance improvements we’ve all come to expect from smaller patches, the new system update will download automatically as soon as you load up a Switch game. However, if you’d like to do this manually, head to  ‘system settings,’ then choose ‘system,’ and it’s the first option you’ll see. Once done, version 14.1.0 introduces a new menu in system settings under ‘notifications,’ titled “platinum point notification settings.” Specifically, this relates to Nintendo Switch Online missions, which arrived last February.
