Hardware [Confirmed Fake] Nintendo Switch Firmware 5.0.0 "Leaked"

[Futurdreamz]

People have made extremely convincing fakes in the past!

Look at this for example.

That's... not exactly the same thing. Your link is clearly an amateur 3d mockup that uses unedited screencaps from the Wii U.

This, on the other hand, looks 100% like an actual product that Nintendo would come out with and has a incredible level of attention to details such as idle animations and processing lag. The very few inconsistencies (such as the g fonts) are likely to just be glitches or details not tackled yet.


Either way, there's a Nintendo Direct on Thursday which most likely will discuss version 5.0 if it's real.

If this is real it shows Nintendo went from providing an amateur menu/online service to a professional like like XBLA/PSN.

That was confirmed?

One thing that gives this leak more credibility is that Nintendo delayed the payed online features. Now we dont know why they did it but there was a pretty big backlash against Nintendo once people found out how stupid the Voice chat set up was & this Leak suggests that this is gonna be taken care off. Streaming Apps and Web browser also suggests Nintendo has been focusing on expanding the online feature offerings before they start charging and free VC games were always planned to be part of the subscription.

I'm still not convinced its 100% legit but it has a lot going for and against it.

Reuploaded the video as unlisted if anybody wants to watch it there.

This is fucking amazing. Fake or not.

But this has to be some incredible editing to be fake!

 

[Dominator211]

i think the video is real but that doesn't mean we will be getting everything in the video soon, some of the stuff could stay beta longer than others or even never be released to the public.

unfortunately that may be the case which will kill me inside

Source? I've not seen any sources that state there's a direct next week.

Damn 65 to 61 in favor of "no"...?

God you all are a bunch of fucking annoying pessimistic morons.


(Had to let that out. I'm calm now)

There's rumours floating around about a possible Direct this January 11th

That's what I'm thinking. For a fake of this level of detail whoever did it put too much time into it for it to be such a short and clunky clip.

It's pretty close. I forgot to vote and it's now only two votes away from 50-50

But it's CLEARLY real! People saying no are just pessimistic assholes

They're saying no out of fear. It's so dumb. I hate pessimism. It's so obnoxious

I don't remember seeing a specific date, just rumors on what month it happens in.

Naturally I am pessimistic, but this videos pros heavily outweigh the cons, so i think I might let it slide.

True. And I'm one of that pessimistic morons. It's in my nature.
I hope it is real, though.

 

[Shadowfied]

Man, I love how the thing that makes this fake for people is the fact that the used space doesn't make sense lmao. What makes me doubt it is that Nintendo are never this nice with updates, not that a developer placed dummy icons.
I'm gonna say it's real.

 

[CathyRina]

Dummy icons for testing purposes were my guess too.

 

[Deleted-355425]

Would they really introduce all of this in one go? Well tbh this may not all get released in one go and this is just some pre build with alot of future apps and shit w.e

 

[YugamiSekai]

I didn't know Nintendo owned Twitch, YouTube, AND Crunchyroll…

 

[Jacklack3]

Alright I thought about it. Now i'm not sure.

There is a point where besides arranging icons, they do highlight mario kart, it didn't have an icon. I tested archiving a game and it shows the icon automatically...

There's a part where there's voice chat and it says switch to phone, but the switch doesn't have a mic I don't think, maybe you can plug in your headphones? but we can hear it from what seems to be a tv and it looks like it's not undocked.

i don't know anymore.
