But the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/en-americas-support.nintendo.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/68473\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">version 23.0.0 update for the Switch 2<\/a> at least injects a little bit of personality and nostalgia into one of the platform&#8217;s menus, bringing back music for the Mii Maker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you create a Mii in the Switch 2&#8217;s system settings, the familiar Mii Channel music from the Wii now plays in the background. A music settings button on the top left also lets you change the track to the 3DS or Wii U Mii Maker music (the tracks are generically named &#8220;Track 1,&#8221; Track 2,&#8221; and &#8220;Track 3&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certain Nintendo fans feel that the company&#8217;s platforms have lost some of their soul with the lack of music and visual themes, so this update, as small as it is, can be taken as a nice gesture.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-bluesky-social wp-block-embed-bluesky-social\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:knj5sw5al3sukl6vhkpi7637\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mv5dxaruok2a\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreib2jnidkkmcbpoygjjdditbrhogtl64uef25tnqfebvr4w3qfbzya\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Mii Maker music added to Switch 2 (via _danpar)<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:knj5sw5al3sukl6vhkpi7637?ref_src=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wario64 (@wario64.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:knj5sw5al3sukl6vhkpi7637\/post\/3mv5dxaruok2a?ref_src=embed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2026-09-10T05:45:41.434Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, both Switch platforms are still without any eShop background music or visual themes. Nintendo omitted these menu elements for the first Switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/nintendosoup.com\/nintendo-switch-menu-takes-up-less-than-200kb-how-the-menu-was-designed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">save processing power and allow users to quickly navigate the UI<\/a> to start their games. At the very least, it seems like the Switch 2 has some extra juice to accommodate some Mii music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Switch 2 firmware update allows users to share their Miis through QR codes. While Miis might not be as big a deal for Nintendo as they were in the Mii days, the cartoony avatars are still very much a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/the-weirdest-wildest-tomodachi-life-creations-weve-seen-so-far\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">modern games like Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream<\/a> and the upcoming Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Version 23.0.0 also adds a quick setting for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/new-nintendo-switch-2-update-supercharges-switch-1-games\/1100-6538825\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Switch 2&#8217;s handheld boost mode<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/nintendo-adds-vrr-to-docked-nintendo-switch-2-play-in-the-most-annoying-way\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support for variable refresh rate<\/a>.
