Do you like stability? Because Nintendo likes stability! Once more, we have a brand new firmware update for the Nintendo Switch, bringing the console's firmware up to 8.1.0, as of today. It's been a few months since the last update, 8.0.1, though this one only brings stability to the table. If you're worried about any potential issues in regards to what this firmware does under the hood, then make sure to not update until proper sources figure out what this one does.

I'm waiting for the "nuking" fw if nintendo is ever that stupid that bricks hacked switches i can imaging lawsuits pournig in after that they would never be on the offense in that matter though if MS got burned for that with the 360 i doubt Nintendo will do the same....oh wait they did during the 7th gen by bricking Korean converted Wii's

SX V2.7.1 EmuNand (SD Files / CFW <= 8.0.1) works with OFW 8.1.0

Nintendo: *slaps switch and 3ds* this baby can hold so much stability

 

[the_randomizer]

Oh boy, another useless update!

 

[EmulateLife]

I assume Super Mario Maker 2 will require 8.1. Hope we get updated CFW soon.

Edit: nevermind, I think I've already seen that it requires a lower firmware.

Funny how this came out shortly after the release of free emunand.

There will probably be a launch day update that requires 8.1.

Nintendo just reached Infinite + 1 in System Stability.

[EmulateLife]

Would be nice if game consoles actually added features with updates like they fucking used to instead of trying to stop hacks.

The funny thing is that they think they can stop us. They can put a roadblock up to slow us down, sure. But we'll just eventually overcome it. It's an endless game of cat and mouse, and we always end up being the victors after everything is said and done.

More stability than climate change.

After updating, my Switch no longer requires a kickstand. Is this normal !?!

I’ve had mine since day 1. It’s had so many stability updates installed that it now levitates in the air on its own
