Living in Japan, fell asleep, just woke up at 2 am, went to one of the 24 hrs game shop (love this about Japan), bought Mario Odyssey for about 48 USD. I could downloaded the game but wanted the physical version.

Will try on my 2.3.0 switch, I DONT want to update!!! but i want to play

It's hilarious to see so many people panicking over this.

Beggars can't be choosers, and the OP was obviously lying.

Bigger hoax than 9/11

 

[DbGt]

can confirm that in fact its NOT possible to play without updating, at least from a 2.3.0 Switch

I only get the following message, and the game doesnt even appear

Im about to update my Switch!!! Thinking very hard if I should do it

Unluckily that doesn't prove OP wrong because s(he) was talking about 3.0

Happily updated to 4.0.1 this morning.

Cant wait to play this tomorrow evening!

And yet blatantly refuses to show any screenshots or other forms of empirical evidence. Hmm, that's a mystery!

After much thinking of what to do, I just did a card update (Switch is not connected to the internet)

The card updated me to fw 3.0.1

I hope I dont regret it later on.....

I apologize for the mistake, I meant it runs on 3.0.1 without updating to 4.0.1. I'm extremely sorry for the inconvenience and typos.

no reason to stay on 3.0.1 now... join the 4.0.1 masterrace!

 

[TotalInsanity4]

please let this be real

EDIT: just thought of something , what if there are different cart revisions or will be in the future maybe the 1st batch will work on 3.0.0 but the next will for the update?

We know because of data miners that it requires 3.0.1. The OP technically isn't wrong but since the minimum software requirements are past 3.0.0 it really doesn't matter

That's not necessarily true. There might be unknown bugs patched between 3.0.1 and 4.0.1 that haven't been found yet.
