Nintendo Switch Adds Folders In Latest Update

thegamer.com:

Five years after its release, the Nintendo Switch has finally added folders. Now you can group together all your games by whatever parameters you set - bundle them by genre or whether they're better than Garfield Kart Racing. The choice is yours.

With how many games are now available on the Switch, it only makes sense to let players have an option to curate their own libraries. You don't have to scroll through 200 titles to find Jackbox's sixth pack anymore, or filter by "most recent" and hope you've played it in the past month. You can just make an easily-labelled folder.

It's part of the 14.0.0 firmware update which not only brings folders but some Bluetooth audio tweaking. However, they're not called 'folders' but groups. It sounds a little social, but it's only for your games. The question is whether Super Smash Bros. belongs in the Mario pile or the vaguely-titled Nintendo pile.

There is a limit on how many groups you can make, though, but you'll be hard-pressed to reach it. You can have up to 100 and each one can hold 200 games. If you manage to fill up that much space, congratulations, but most if not all will struggle to come close.

Groups can be found in the All Software menu. You create one, and then select the games you want to put into it which is helped by the "search by keyword" functionality. Then, you can choose what order the games are in and which ones show up on the group's featured image. Think of it like a Spotify playlist. You can drag Mario Kart right to the front or you can swap them out for Super Mario 3D World. Whatever says 'Mario' best.

Then you name it and voila, it appears on the group page. You can do that
