this is really interesting to me. i bought a BOTW explorer's edition on black friday and the game did not contain an update. game is still on 1.0.0 and the console (which i also bought the same day) was a splatoon bundle that came with 3.0.0 firmware.

edit: i should say that this was in NA region and not EU.

At this rate, I think it is best that I buy the Switch when it is at/near EOL. I am actually not looking forward to playing BotW (not a fan of sandboxes), Super Mario Odyssey looks cool, but not good enough to buy a console for, and even though Metroid Prime 4 will probably be awesome, still not enough for me at this point, to buy a new console until I know I can mod it.

Just get it for BOTW anyway. You need to play it. It's also not a sandbox. It's open world and it's awesome.

Makes sense that they would work to close as many holes as they can. Saturate the market with updated carts, and make it harder for people to stay on older firmware.

Eh guess the next fresh release of Pokken will be over 3.0, buying it now is a smart decision imo.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Wait is it the new BOTW Bundle or just the 'normal' game? (although it doesn't matter ,I think)
it's the rerelease ver for holidays i believe

Hmm maybe he clicked the game software update? Which requires a console update to proceed the process.
Edit: oh nvrm if it came with 3.01 by default then that is a problem. Only way to counter this issue is buying used cartridges

Except when the used cart has been updated by the original owner. Then it should have update info and new game crypto. This will be interesting to see how this plays out. Would be awesome to find a way to update similar to the psp and the PS3.

No. The carts themselves can't be updated. They're completely read-only.

I bought Pokemon Tekken at black friday sell aswell (EU) for updating my second switch from 2.3.0 to 3.0.0 soon...now I'm a bit afraid if these games got updated aswell. Is there any information already how to check this? The game is still unopened so if I could figure out if this is a updated version I still could send it back to amazon.

All Pokken from EU Amazon are 3.00. Tried and tested last week.

The only question I haven't seen asked is did you put in your internet credentials? If so the cart itself may not have had the 3.01 update on it.. The only way to know if the update was on the cart itself is to have never put in your wifi/lan etc. I would say you put in your wifi password and you were asked to update which I have had many times on my 3.0 console.

That would have updated to the newest version.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
