Nope never, setup straight outta the box
Never setup or straight out of a box doesn't mean anything with Switch. It could have been updated , formated and put back to box without making it looks like used. There is no seal on the box.

This is a really strange story... something does not add up here

Yes well im a little confused too, hence my posting here. The back of my SMO cart is def 000, and the switch was new as far as i can tell. In the Switch Noob paradise thread i see another user with a brand new PAL switch also on 3.0.2 so im not alone. My question remains though, if im on 3.0.2 why is the cart asking to update if it has 3.0.1 on it - according to this thread. SMO is launch day purchase also so ive got 1st print batch. I will post a pic as proof if needed..

Maybe the kart has some software error which reads 3.0.2 as a lower firmware than 3.0.1. Still I would not try it on my console.

I own SMO d1 too and my switch is EU 3.0.1, are you sure his consol is not connected to WiFi at moment he launched the game?

Ok weird shit is going on but posting anyway for clarity. No this console has never been connected to wifi 100% sure.

I just tried to delete the data SMO creates under data management and now the game launches fine. The update nag is gone :/ I cannot get it to show now. I am still on 3.0.2. I dont know why it appeared before but put it down to a bug/glitch maybe.

Did you mean to quote my post? In that case i dont get what I did wrong.
Its strange for him to have a 000 cart and to get a update dialog. The maintenance mode to clear any updates and then a picture from the cart are reasonable to rule out any mistakes, no?
Even if he had a 001 cartridge it would run on 3.0.2

Edit: forget about this... I didn't see your like.
I must have misunderstood...
Haha sorry! So confusing of me :P... no the story about the card and the update! No offense ;)

Hi, is there a way to know the revision of a cartridge before opening the box? someone posted some picture of the Zelda box to show the difference and was wondering if someone knew if there one for Mario kart.

here is the box i got :
it's a NA/Canada box.
thank you

There is no difference in the boxing that you can rely on.
Its only likely that a T2 boxing of BotW will always include a 001 cart, not the other way around.
Same thing for all other games as far as we know.

I would like to update my switch fw 2.3.0 to fw 3.0.0 with every version of Pokken Tournament DX or only with the cartridge 000. In Germany many 001 are already common

I bought it used and asked seller to show me back of the cart with serial.
Thats how I did it, too.
Go to a GameStop and get a used one (even tho they are as expensive as new ones from Amazon :/ )
Or ask in your local shop for returned games... They (Red/Blue) sell them on ebay later so that should not be a problem.

EDIT: Whats going on with those quotes...

I bought one on ebay with 000 at the end. :-) when the game comes I update and sell it again because pokken is not needed for the exploit

But why update in the first place? 2.3 is as good, if not even better than 3.0
Once CFW is out it's unimportant anyway

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
