Need update! Just bought Rayman Legends can run normally at my Switch version is 2.2.0.
Thanks for confirming!
So Rayman Legends is one of those <3.0.0 games, good to know :)
That leaves only Lego Worlds and Minecraft to be confirmed as to what version they come with.

I'm running a Mario Odyssey cartridge on 2.3. There seems to be no on-cart forced update for me like some people have mentioned. Maybe I got an earlier version of the cart or something?

Do you have the Switch connected to any internet network?
A pic of proof would help :P

Ah, the console has been offline since I put the game in for the first time. Is being online a requirement for this list? Also, I can post proof, but what's the best way to do so with a picture?

Hi. I'm on 3.0.0 I'm planning to buy the Zelda explorers edition. I read from a reply on this post that a Zelda game cart updated his system to 3.0.1. Anyone here tried Zelda explorers cart if it works on 3.0.0? Thank you

From what I've gathered, if you don't setup your Switch to an internet connection, you can bypass the required update for certain games, though Im not sure which ones.

One clear example of this is Doom.
You can run Doom without the 7.7GB update if you dont have an internet connection setup on the consome.

Very strange things that I read here... some I really don't buy a 100%.
Doom does not run on a Switch lower then 4.0.0.
Zelda does run (unpatched/ not updated) on any version of the switch. However: when you install a update that also means you install the check to require at least 3.0.1.

I tried Sonic Forces today on my 3.0.0 out of the box switch and it is working. My unit was never online since unboxing.

Also tried Doom, fire emblem, just dance 2018, all requiring update.

Xenoblade 2's the game breaker for me. Hopefully it doesn't require certain FW versions - I'd get the cart version just for homebrew.

Today I also bought a physical copy of Zelda BOTW together with a Switch, it had fw 3.0.0 and when I inserted the game a message appeared saying that I must do an update before play (didn't do it so don't know what version it needed to run).

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
