Hey hey, it's time for the first stability update of the year. The Nintendo Switch has just received a firmware update, which brings the console to FW version 9.2.0. Per usual, this is a minor update that officially only offers the typical system stability improvements, with SciresM mentioning that the changes in this firmware are "completely trivial", with a compatible Atmosphere update due later tonight.

Ver. 9.2.0 (Released March 2, 2020)
General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

The meaning of this update is probably just to keep Nintendo Switch in the news cycle. FFVII hype is too much.

if I understand @SciresM correctly from his twitter post, there's only a one byte difference in the kernels between 9.1 and 9.2. I think he said, "that's one hell of a byte."

Hmmm where to get the 9.2.0 download for Choidujour NX

wait for a few more hours and I'm sure it'll end up on darth sternie's site

Damn Nintendo, put your damn work on Metroid Prime 4.

Nintendo isnt doing Metroid Prime 4 thats all Retro Studios

 

[DuoForce]

If only Nintendo would give the switch actual updates rather than these useless "stability" updates

 

[MagnesG]

Damn Nintendo, put your damn work on Metroid Prime 4.

They did. They had already hired multiple high profiles devs/artists/designers from Halo, Crysis and EA Dice studios, and mass hiring many more.

 

[Tacgnol06]

Retro studios is Nintendo.
In a partnership Nintendo provides money, feedback and deadlines. That's not news. It was the same with the original Prime, with a lot of feedback from Nintendo's Miyamoto shaping the game.
You could say the same about any Nintendo game, rarely they are lone ventures, most of the time many first party studios partner and cooperate.

Are you sincerely arguing that time spent on firmware updates literally takes away from time spent on Metroid Prime 4's development? Even if the exact same people are responsible for both, have you ever worked at a large company? If you're going to worry about the trivial amount of time it takes to program a firmware update, you might as well start complaining when the employees take too much leave, use the bathroom, etc.

All stability jokes are uncreative and not funny, so use any joke you want :v

 

[deinonychus71]

could be just cert update or something.

 

[Goku1992A]

I dont really see the problem last update was 3 months ago. I remember Sony pushing out updates evrey 2 to 3 weeks.

Let's just hope Nintendo doesnt pull a Sony and find a way to block the current softmod

True, we've had meaningless stability updates from Nintendo for so long now, all jokes have been made by now. This really is not funny anymore.

I guess it is possible that the new update was created during a bathroom break.

[Insert stability joke here]

That's topical and not overused, right guys?

You should cite sources when making potentially damaging claims.

Why would a 3 year old member make stuffs up?

 

[Bimmel]
