Whoever did these stability updates could be a very well-paid servant if they kept a mansion as tidy as they do the switch updates. And servants do get paid six figures with free room and board in a mansion easily.

we got a whole new console and still all switch 1 gets in updates is stability improvements

Appears to mostly be updates to the system browser stuff

The switch has already had more updates than every other Nintendo system, and the funny thing is it has the least to show for it

The switch updates have never really improved any experience on the system

How did the thing retire and we never even got themes

 

[slaphappygamer]

No really! I actually just updated my switch a few days ago. Lol

Must be a slow news day

Nintendo really just letting the Switch retire

 

[Moe87]

Whoa, too many updates? Nintendo isn't stable. I do think Costello should intervene in Nintendo to reduce the number of updates.

I got awesome cat treats for you and Nintendo of America headquarter in Redmond would be your place to play.

Now we have to see if this new update requires a new Atmosphere or if the previous one will continue to work.

The more they are figuring out how to prevent Switch 2 from jailbreaking, they are updating Switch 1's to brick all the CFW models. It's very obvious what they are doing.

@StarShooterX as always,i wait until there's a new version of Atmosphere and the games require the update before updating, otherwise i'll stick with the previous version.

 

[hippy dave]

Is this needed for USB mouse support for Mario Paint y/n?

Edit: maybe not

Oh wow, that happened to me with 20.2.0 until someone released a quick fix, so hopefully it will be quick fix instead need to reverse engineer that take 1-2 weeks.

 

[DeadSkullzJr]

Neat, I'll update now .
