The Big N has launched a new Switch update today, and it comes packing the ability to transfer save data for individual games between consoles. Handy, eh?

Switch update 8.0.0 also offers the chance to make your games collection a bit tidier. You can now sort titles by name, publisher, total play time, and last played, which is useful if your current lineup is a bit of a mess. 

Elsewhere, Ninty has added an option to stop your console from waking up from Sleep Mode after an AC adapter is disconnected, a zoom functionality, 15 new avatar icons for Splatoon 2 and Yoshi's Crafted World, and a couple of other bits and bobs.

Be sure to check out the full list of patch notes here.

On a related note, Nintendo is heavily rumoured to be launching two new Switch models later this year. The Switch has sold over 32 million units worldwide since its launch in March 2017.
