Nintendo extending Switch Online library beyond NES Also talks about Switch revision Rumors

I can get Metroid, Metroid II, Super Metroid, and Metroid Fusion on the Switch to prepare me for Metroid Dread (Metroid 5) when that releases on the Switch.

NES Online is garbage, just install retroarch and play GB, SNES, GBA and PS1 on your Switch right now.

But I don't have a 2017-2018 switch...

>NES online
>have to pay a subscription
>can't toggle the ugly border so you have to see your avatar hovering at the corner the whole time

ipatched switches are hackable now so long as you're on firmware 4.1
otherwise you need a Switch produced before Let's Go Pikachu, so if you bought a console to play Mario Odyssey then you can hack it regardless of firmware.

I just want them to buff Bayonetta on smash so she isn't so predictable and weak. having to smash people out with a slow ass hit at 140% is ridiculous. et they can smash me out at 80%? WTF fix this!

Won't the portable one be even weaker. fuck that the rumor about there being two models better be true

>>can't toggle the ugly border so you have to see your avatar hovering at the corner the whole time
exactly why I havn't bothered with that shit. nintendo never heard of burn in?

>so long as you're on firmware 4.1
fuck

>"hacking" a console while it is still alive
I have like other 10 devices where I can play anything that I could get by modding it, I can wait until the next console to play anything I refused to buy.

You seem like you're having a good time

CDI games or no buy

Literally no reason not to hack a switch.

>considering

Nintendo is so slow about their rereleases that Pokemon Snap didn't hit the WIi-U VC until the switch was about out.

This is your penance for her being stupidly OP in Smash 4

>Considering
Are...are you trying to fucking tell me they weren't already gonna do this? They intended to let us just have shitty NES games forever?

>“We acknowledge that there have been reports [about this]. Answering to rumours and speculations would end up stealing surprises from our customers and also be unprofitable to all of our shareholders, so we have no answer to that.
>“As a general theory, we are always performing development of new hardware.”

fuck the mini garbage is real

on the switch itself it won't happen because it's just a cheap shitty lcd but yeah if you have an oled tv avoid that shit like the plague.

It's too fucking complicated

>put file on SD card
>put paperclip in the right side
>connect phone's usb cable to your switch
>boot
how is that complicated?

Youtube app

It's literally one of the easiest consoles to hack in history.

>use youtube tinfoil method to get into RCM
>connect console to pc and load hekate payload
>make backup
>drag and drop shit to your SD
>load hekate again
>start CFW
It's that easy.

I'm hoping they'll pull a Microsoft and announce a Mini version AND a stronger "pro" version (no handheld)

I don't want to revoke my permission to connect through p2p to other players. Besides, there's not much that I want that I haven't bought already.

It doesn't matter what irrelevant shit they try to bribe you with, it's still not worth it when you have to pay every month to access online features.

They are absolutely never going to offer that game as long as they're selling the remake for $60.

yeah switch is far easier than say the 3DS or PS3 or Wii.
The only negative about it is you have to push the payload on every reboot, which is extremely easy if you have a dongle and keep your system in sleep mode when not using it.

You can still play legit online games in sysnand (which would be clean and untouched) and have all your cfw stuff in emunand.

Honest question, how fast do you get banned for having CFW? Or is it just a method of not being retarded and going online too early with leaked games like the Sun/Moon 3DS bans? I'm dying to hack mine and fully abuse it's power but I play online too often and fear being banned.

>it's still not worth it when you have to pay every month to access online features.
yeah but who cares about online?
Smash is only worth playing locally and Mario Maker 2 has already had a method of downloading custom levels to the pirated copy made available.
Until Pokemon comes out the only people playing Switch online are in it for Splatoon 2.

Nah, not bothering with that shit, I can wait.

>hacks my Switch
>just in time for Nintendo to announce the biggest library backwards compatibility announcement ever.

Real talk, how's the homebrewing scene with the switch? The 3ds was such a pain in the ass. Had to buy a cartridge off some chink off PayPal and do a bunch of shit that makes me surprised that it didn't brick the thing. Of course a few months later freeshops gone. Can you really do anything on the switch homebrew? What are the repercussions if any?

see If you want to hack it right away and still go online you gotta pay for an SXOS license cause the free emunand is currently experimental. If not, just wait. Or stay offline and set up 90dns to prevent you from connecting to nintendo's servers and make a clean nand backup so you can revert whenever.

A lot of people have different stances on this but just hear me out.
If you ever install pirated eshop games on your system nand you will get banned when you go online, regardless of whether you delete the pirated games.
However, if you keep your system nand clean by either using emunand or restoring a clean backup, you can go online and not get banned.
Pirated cart games don't leave a trace like pirated eshop games either, so as long as you don't go online with those pirated games, you can have them on your system for offline use.

tl,dr use emunand and set the emunand to airplane mode.

>Can you really do anything on the switch homebrew?
Everything other than going online with pirated games. Though you can still play online with your legit purchased ones.

>What are the repercussions if any?
None, really.

OMGWOWZER WOWOWOW GAMEBOY!!!!! WOOOOOWOWOW NO WAAAY!!
THEY DID IT, THEY WON!

can't wait to re-re-rebuy the same games for the third console in a row

>TFW I already play on Airplane mode anyway all the time
Your logic is sound. But do I have to go through hoops to turn on EmuNAND every time or is it just a click of an app and it turns on? I keep my switch docked and asleep 24/7 anyway so it's not like I ever turn it off

>what is an emulator

>anything being easier than ps3's literal 2 step cfw

>The 3ds was such a pain in the ass. Had to buy a cartridge off some chink off PayPal and do a bunch of shit that makes me surprised that it didn't brick the thing
you didn't have to do that, 3DS had many free methods of installing CFW and currently literally all 3DS/2DS models on the newest firmware are able to be exploited for free using frogminer.
> Of course a few months later freeshops gone
freeshop was nintendo's utter negligence to close their fucking door to the cdn servers, you can't blame the community that it didn't work forever.
>Can you really do anything on the switch homebrew?
Retroarch allows emulation of all games up to and including PS1 and N64 at full speed with all the features of the PC version.
There's also a save manager (utterly required since Switch cloud saves require a subscription and don't even work for half the games).
There's mods (you can literally mod the Switch version of Skyrim if you want), and cheats and so on.
There's even a homebrew to emulate amiibos in software so you get all the content without paying for shitty toys or buying NFC tags off ebay.

>do I have to go through hoops to turn on EmuNAND every time or is it just a click of an app and it turns on?
I don't know how the free version that just released works, but in SXOS you have a recovery screen that shows up the first time you boot into recovery mode that lets you set up your backup and emunand.
Once in that screen you can select emunand and from that point forward every time you boot it will boot into emunand until you manually get back into that recovery mode.

I get vietnam flashbacks when I think of early a9lh days.

Basically a new model Switch would be using one of the later down the line Tegra 1s mainly because a 2 would probably jack the price up to like $500.
Still both a mini and a pro would use it with the mini clocked down meaning it could hit original switch clock speeds but with no need for a fan.
As long as the Switch Pro isn't a literally dumster fire of an OC it should be good, since a moderately OC'd Switch can force Doom and Wolfenstein to run at their highest possible resolutions and framerates.

a9lh wasn't that bad if you did it slowly, the problem was the seemingly complete guide wasn't accounting for everything.

For example on my first attempt I softbricked my 3DS because they didn't know at the time that dsiware could brick the system, so Super Mario Bros Deluxe fucked up the process and forced me to use Nintendo's recovery (which forces you to update to the newest firmware).
Had to wait months to try again when the newer firmware was exploitable.

Well with the information given to me that was the way I thought would be easiest. Also I am not blaming the community I have nothing but respect for people taking their free time to get me free games. Might just homebrew for the emulation then, switch is perfect for 64 games

I kept on running into so many issues and had so many scares. Took me the course of 3 days to get through it but fuck man that was more satisfying than any game on the system.

enjoy it, they raised over $1000 to get someone to write an N64 recompiler for Switch and now we get fullspeed emu without overclocking.

>that was more satisfying than any game on the system.
it does feel good.
I recently bought my sister a 2DSxl because she has depression, I installed b9s with frogminer and filled a 64GB sd card with 3DS, DS and GBA games before reboxing it and surprising her with it.
Was happy with myself but surprised how easy it is to get full CFW installed now.

This but unironically

Would it be able to handle the Remake?

Actually there's a decent chance it could now considering Square managed to get another large scale UE4 engine game on Switch.
There was a point where Square actually regret not putting FF15 on UE4 because that was the biggest hurtle when it came to porting to other systems.

maybe at 404p on low

newer versions of the Switch fixes that hack I believe

I guess I'll look into it. As long as I have no fear of being banned from online play, I'll run the risk. Thanks, user.

How do people OC the Switch? CFW allows that like it lets you crank of the N3DS clock speeds?

Yep, since the Switch is underclocked anyway you can hit a higher clock speed, in some games are effect more than others, Zelda just smooths out framerate while others just improve loading.
Doom raised both the resolution and framerate.

Is it even considered a leak anymore when people have been claiming "more powerful Switch" for years when it eventually drops?

nintendo has literally been ordering new screens for an upcoming switch model, it's well documented.
literally the only reason people claim it isn't happening is because nintendo said so.

>Also talks about Switch revision Rumors
They literally just said the same thing as before when asked; "we are always developing new shit faggot". Just fucking drop it already, there is no revision, these rumours were clearly false from the get go.

While the free NES games in exchange for a paid online service is neat...

You get what you pay for. That means, despite all these games being free, you get whatever Nintendo feels like giving you. Like, it would be kinda cool to have the Final Fantasy games. And with something like the Wii, Wii U, 3DS, I can have those. But not with Nintendo Online.

>before this years E3

>more revision rumors
>even more revision rumors
>E3 happens
>Nothing
>Nintendo's stock takes a hit with analysts being pissed off that they were entirely wrong
>Nintendo issues a statement "we aren't looking into a revision at this time at all"
>Nobody believes them
>Revision rumors again

It was already old before E3, but now, its beating a dead horse. But oh yes, you are totally right, there will totally be a revision like their last handheld right?! Except, it didn't happen right away. In fact, it happened after they had reached 50 million sales worldwide. So yes, you will be right. In three years.

Just be an SXOS Chad and cut the work by more than half. It's only $50 and more reliable.

How do you make a backup? What does a backup mean? Back up of what exactly? What file or files are you backing up?

I mean practically speaking they'd have to move on from NES games at some anyway considering they're already scraping the bottom of the barrel

How does it run N64 and above? And I thought using homebrew extensively fucks with your card on an exfat SD card.

>How do you make a backup?
When you get into hekate just go to Tools->Backup.
>What does a backup mean? Back up of what exactly? What file or files are you backing up?
The state of your switch before any modifications. The switch has a lot of telemetry and always records what you do on it so having a backup to completely wipe all the motivations you made clean is a must. It's a safety net. Just make sure you stay offline while your switch is modified so all that telemetry that built up gets sent to nintendo and they ban your unique console certificate (aka perma ban which can't be circumvented).

you don't really need to use exfat since you can install NSPs from a USB or over your local network, you can also mount XCIs from an external USB so I've been using fat32.

>motivations
modifications*

>telemetry that built up gets
telemetry that built up doesn't get*
I need to go to bed.

Is it something that gets saved or appears on the SD card though? What's it look like?

It gets saved as a folder on the SD card. It's recommended to copy it to your pc and keep it somewhere safe.

Do I even want to ask why they don't just let devs OC the console? If it can run everything at better speeds, why leave it constantly underclocked? Fear of over heating or is the CPU unable to handle it for long periods of time?

Overheating is already an issue with more complex games and battery life would go to shit.

alright that's simple then thanks

It's a nice alternative for complete retards who can't even assemble a 10 piece lego set and onlinefags but

To all the "hack your Switch" fags out there. Please wake me up when I can play online and NOT get banned

I don't have a MicroSD card slot on my computer.

No, she deserves to be trash tier

>not replacing your DVD-drive with a bay full of USB and SD card ports

There's no drive bays on my case, only USB 3.0.

>Switch Mini
>portable only

I mean, I get them not including a dock in order to keep costs down, but not being able to play it on TV at all would just be stupid. I assume there will be a mini dock available as a separate purchase.

Anyone here enjoying Virtua Racing?

Wake up!
I have been playing splat2 online since october with atmosphere, still not banned.

>muh shareholders

nintendo lost all soul, this new president will ruin them

>his switch doesn't have animated themes
>his switch can't run kickass homebrew
>his switch can't play anime
>his switch can't output bluetooth audio without a homo dongle

wait I have CFW, are you telling me BT audio is a thing now?
I thought the hardware couldn't do it because nintendo opted for an outdated version of bluetooth to allow for 8 controllers?

I just want pokemon crystal and emerald

>free
Quit saying that.
Free is when you don't have to pay for something.
Nintendo purposefully advertises this in the package.
