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

[TheCyberQuake]

lol FnCK the nintendo switch preorder situation, that was a DISASTER. Announcing 'we expect to sell 4million consoles in 2017'.....

How was it a disaster? Because they sold out quickly? I've seen that happen with almost every console, and I preordered the day after and managed to still get one. They had to be careful at first because of how poorly the wii u flopped, they had to ensure the demand was there to ramp up production.

I think nintendo didn't put a web browser on the switch for a reason (exploits). What would be a good reason they would add a web browser to the switch now? I think it is faked.

Maybe they ironed out the bugs and can finally put it in? You need to find better reasoning to say it's fake, cause it looks legit. Like, REALLY legit.

It's not like the people trying to exploit things can't access the browser through proxy. There's no good reason for it not to be there now

I guess now would a perfect time to point out the party system? Nintendo has made no publicly known plans to overhaul the online voice chat. They've been pretty adamant about the mobile app being the "social" aspect thus far.

I admit, it does look legit, but i just think some things seem a bit odd for nintendo to do. Also, i am not trying to convince anyone, i am just giving out my thoughts.

True, i guess that would make sense.

You say that, but I walked into my local target on day one and picked one up pretty easily.

I don't believe it's real for the fact that it's still up. Major Nintendo news sites and YouTube channels have covered it so someone at Nintendo should likely have seen it and flagged it by now like they did with the Smash 3DS leaked footage.

Of course it doesn't seem like something Nintendo would do, they've surprised us a lot the past year, what's stopping them now?

That's what I said. Walked into my local target on March 3rd and picked one up. No problem.

That's why you preorder. I've learned to never expect to get a console day one without it. The switch was popular, as shown by it breaking the record for sales in the first 10 months.

Maybe you should've preordered.

when I get some money together, I plan to jump on the switch bandwagon. I really wish I could play odyssey among others.

Could be something they'll outline during the January Direct, or maybe a future update for the first anniversary when online becomes paid

preorders were a disaster, they had only made 2 million worldwide for the launch window and preorders were gone the first few hours, a lot of them got cancelled.

See the OP, launch is planned for early February. It'll either be in the Direct or a surprise launch.

hmmmm there is no way this is fake it MUST be real or someone has full access to the system and changed everything

To me the whole video seems dodgy, the room is incredibly static and the TV image seem kinda off... The part where the hand grabs something is kinda weird too... the whole thing seemed rather static except for the tv screen...

the lighting doesn't seem to shift with menu, you know darker screens, loading fades... these will have the room lighting shift. nothing in this video.

I doubt Nintendo would add so much in a single update. The theme looks incredibly cheap too.

To me this looks fake.
