eShop worked for me last night. Downloaded the NES app. Its possible they changed it so now you actually need 7.0 but I'm not in the interest of inputting my Wi-Fi settings again and risk downloading 7.0

you guys think piranha plant dlc will requiere v7.0?
Technically the DLC is already out. If you redeemed your game for Gold points, you get the download code for Piranha Plant.

What's not out is the actual character data which will be embedded in a game update. And since none of the previous updates didn't actually require 6.2, the same can be said for the future update.

I figure since a lot of changes were made with API's and crap under the hood, it's likely many updates and new releases will utilize them & require 7.0. They won't necessarily be bypassable VIA patches similar to 6.2.

no they are saving it for 9.0.0 ,but not to worry the 8.0.0 update will also include

*Select from six Nintendo Labo™ icons for your user

* Added additional language support to the HOME Menu for Igbo (Simplified), Igbo (Traditional), and Telugu
in addition to many stability improvements

Someone must release out Switch flashcart that is similar to Sky3DS+ is bullet proof against all firmware updates means Nintendo company can't block it anymore. Smart move on. I love my Sky3DS+.

I will wait and hold for world first powerful flashcart (firmware upgrade support) with two buttons to release out for Nintendo Switch in near future. I'm in no hurry. Hope Switch flashcart support up to 2 TB microSD in near future will be overkill to carry a lot of switch games on single flashcart without swap many game cartridges to prevent tear wear down in slot.

What ZachyCat said, to elaborate a bit more, the game card slot is finicky and if it doesn't detect a proper cart won't initialise, not to mention that after the initial handshake the gamecard becomes encrypted

Oh that's great. No SSBU, but we get cardboard for our profile icons. I'll just stick with Captain Toad.

They did it once, so doing it again should be a breeze.
Or. They did it once, they may never be able to do it again.

Nintendo have the 6.2 exploit source code, they can design a better defence.

Exactly.... Even though the Firmware is decrypted, it DOES NOT mean the contents of said firmware are a piece of cake especially in terms of manipulating those contents into making usable CFW. Decrypting new firmware is just the first important step. I've been watching the Tweets closely, and there's some interesting stuff here that makes me wonder about the future....

Some examples:

    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
