Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
And... already modified to allow other ROMs?
https://www.polygon.com/2018/9/19/17...mulator-hacked Nintendo Switch Online has been hacked within hours of its release, and players have already figured out how to play their own ROMs as well as the 20 NES games that come with the service. The process through which they’re doing so is reportedly easy enough that most fans will be able to replicate it, if given instructions. |

Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
So, is it only Nintendo games that have online play walled off? My son just showed me Fortnite still plays fine without the online service.

https://www.polygon.com/2018/9/14/17...-switch-online They may make exceptions for other games. Xbox One doesn't require Xbox Live Gold to play any of the F2P games online. Presumably these games are pulling in enough money from microtransactions to justify the ongoing cost of free online multiplayer. |

Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
Golf Story goes up for pre-order from Limited Run Games tomorrow. More interesting though is they’re doing an NES cartridge for the game within the game, Galf. I might actually be more inclined to grab that as I already own Golf Story digitally and don’t necessarily feel the need to double dip.

Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
Any idea if the 6.0 firmware update still bricks the Switch when using a 3rd party dock? Specifically for the Nyko dock. I tried looking all over the place and can't find an answer. I'm thinking it is the same :(

Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
I was excited for a second when Nintendo sent me an email advertising 30% off select digital games because it's my birthday month.
Alas, just a few 3DS and Wii U (wtf!) games :sad: |
Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
I got that a few months ago as well :lol:

Report: New Nintendo Switch Model Coming In 2019
https://kotaku.com/report-new-ninten...019-1829513370 The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Nintendo will be introducing a new version of its popular Switch console next year. The report says that the move comes as Nintendo hopes to boost sales momentum of the Switch, which has dropped off since its meteoric launch. It’s claimed that this new model would “likely share many features with the current version and be compatible with existing Switch game software.” It also says that Nintendo “is still debating what new hardware and software features to include in the upgrade”, with one option on the table being an upgraded screen, closer to those found in “more recent smartphone LCDs”, which would “make it brighter, thinner and more energy-efficient”. |
Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
oh, hmm. I preordered the Eevee Switch Bundle to give to my younger daughter for Christmas at the crazy $400 price. I would hate to have to wait another year to get her the Switch though.

About the new Switch, I wouldn't be shocked if Nintendo did something to make the new one uncompilable with existing Switch accessories. |
Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
Figures I just upgraded to a 400 GB card for mine. Can you transfer the micro SD card to a new Switch with everything intact or is it like PS4 where you have to reformat?

Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
Yeesh, well if the new model is just a Switch-Lite and not an upgrade power wise (like a Switch Pro or something) then I won't bother upgrading anyway.

Re: Nintendo Switch: Building a New Generation of Hardware from Scratch
We've all been conditioned to expect Slim consoles by now.. if this does come along next year and they get it right, this is when I join the Switch company.
