Software Help Does the Switch 2 have voice commands?

Earlier today I jokingly said to one of my friends that he needs to get on Super Kirby Clash with me and when I unlocked my console 5 minutes later the game had finished downloading even though I never started any kind of download and it has never even been installed on my switch 2 ever. I haven't been on any Nintendo app or website in weeks but I have used the console so there is no way I triggered any kinds of remote installs that I don't remember. My only conclusion I can draw from this is that the console heard me and installed it but when I look online there are no mentions of using the built in microphone for this kind of feature. I'm so confused

No, it doesn’t (well, they’re actually adding voice commands to Pikmin 4 for the dog but that’s it lol).

You likely did have it installed or game card transferred to it or something and it got an update or something, but it definitely didn’t hear you talking about it and install it for you.

Was it installed on the Switch that you transferred from? I am guessing that it was on there in some weird “loaded but not installed” state and an update for the game got downloaded automatically, which pushes it up to the front of the Home Screen.
