So... Does this not work anymore or what? I followed the steps but the connection goes all the way through and doesn't ask to register. Unless I actually, accidentally registered it somehow. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something but seeing as how I'm not very good at this, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hope you can help me somehow, I'd greatly appreciate it.

It still works if it's not asking f you to register you didn't set up the dns correctly

I accidentally updated my Switch yesterday from 2.0 to 2.2 during a MK8D session yesterday. I'm so pissed off I updated.

Swear to christ, if a vulnerability comes out soon and it requires 2.0, it's going back to the fucking shop for a new one.

Becareful folks, keep your system offline or DNS block the update servers.

it won't matter if you buy a new one, no units come on 2.0 and yu can't cart update.

PS. this dns is useless for update blocking, block them yourselves.

I just want to log into my Nintendo Account to set my user up once on my new 2.3.0 Switch. Afterwards I won't go online anytime again.
Is that possible or just with a FW update?

I'm pretty sure it won't let you create a Nintendo Account without updating first. No point to creating a Nintendo Account if you're going to stay offline though.

I already have one which I'm using on Wii U, 3DS and in Chrome (PC). So I just wanted to log into it rather than starting savegames on an offline user which is unconnected.
But as it seems I can just "upgrade" my local user by connecting it to my NID later on so there shouldn't be a problem.

By the way I tried it out and you were right: If I try to do something wich my NID a message pops up telling me I have to update my FW first.

Does this still work? I have entered the DNS into both my primary and secondary DNS and get a DNS name resolution error.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates

    @Psionic Roshambo, If it doesn't fit, you should've gotten one smaller lol
