I guess running South Park from the game cartridge doesn’t require 5.0 but if you want the day 0 patch it must make you upgrade, right? I can’t even access the eshop or update Splatoon without the latest firmware.

Just to be clear here, and so I don't have to read through 30 pages of posts.
I've been looking around for a Switch these couple of days, and can only seem to find consoles with serial numbers matching a 3.0.1, which is fine, as I have access to a 3D printer and I'm willing to use a hardware mod to eventually get CFW. Am I right to understand that a 3.0.1 Switch (at least for now) is the same as having a 4.1.0 console, and I can therefore buy BOTW and Mario Odyssey carts to play? Or should I just keep it at 3.0.1 and wait patiently?

All current consoles from 1.0.0 to 5.0.2+ of the first hw revision are basicly the same.
Consoles from 1.0.0 to 3.0.0 can use a public exploit, while 3.0.1+ need be be "modded" (see paper clip jig) to boot cfw.

EDIT: Or was it only 1.0.0 can directly boot to RCM? But <= 3.0.0 get another way to get to CFW without this super expensive paper clip...

Bought a physical copy of Overcooked off Amazon and the cartridge says "000" at the end, and I'm running it fine on firmware 4.0.1.

I have a 3.0.0 Switch and a v002 Cart of Zelda:BOTW which I believe requires 4.0.1. Is there any downside to going to 4.0.1? Am I even able to goto 4.0.1 from 3.0.0?

I'm having a hell of a time finding a version 000 Zelda. Went to 4 different GameStops already and everyone has 002.

Does anyone know if the Explorers Edition are all 000? I wouldn't mind shelling out a little more to get a guaranteed 000 plus the extras.

A friend of mine has a EUR Xenoblade cartridge with serial ending in 003 that has the 4.1.0 system update on it. Feel free to add it to the list.

On another note: Anyone got DKC:TF early and knows its firmware version?

My physical copy of Shantae: Half Genie Hero does not ask me to update. I'm on 4.1.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Black ops was the lesser shitter line in cock a poopoo tbf just a way to let people know it hasn't died or going a different route I guess
