Helps, doesn't do it all.
Nintendo has updated the Nintendo Switch Online app with a bunch of handy new features – all about making friends.
You can now send friend requests through the app itself, you can also generate a URL or QR code so someone else can add you as a friend too. However, no matter how you send the request, they have to be accepted on a Nintendo Switch Console.
On iOS the app now requires iOS 14.0 as well. Get the update from the Apple App Store or Google Play today.
From Mario to Zelda, to Splatoon to Donkey Kong. Everything on Nintendo Music.
Definitively done with the Wii U now.
But it's not for everyone yet.
