A new Nintendo Switch firmware update is available to download. System software version 20.3.0 has been pushed out to systems and adds the general stability we've grown accustomed to. The finer details within the update are noted on Switchbrew, which includes changes to SystemData and Applets.

I expect more updates. Mainly for bad words list. I saw someone with the name 'butthole' in Mario Kart World.

I was surprised seeing that.

I hate Mario Kart World and I refuse to buy or play that game.

I did played MK8D for abit to mod it for someone for $300

"Another stability update, nothing major this time. It’s good to see Nintendo continuing to refine the system, though it would be nice to see some new features alongside these improvements."

This is like the third time I decided to finally update from FW 19 and a new 20.X.X came out.
I always wait for things to settle a bit before updating, of course.
Let's see if everything still works, I guess.

Another HorizonOS update... So many of them lately

 

[RopeShooter9000]

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

They kinda did that with the 3DS when the Switch 1 originally came out. Pretty sure they'll drop support for it in a few more years.

General system stability .. bla bla bla...

Probably It's about to transfer fake save files to SW2 stuff. I saw a lot of video on youtube and Nıntendo saw as well.

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

I ain’t falling for that one again

Smart, otherwise Doug Bowser could take you to his home.

The moment Nintendo changes the text from: General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience. to something else. I’ll buy a lotterij ticket

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

They did add some rather nice features over the years to be fair. Like groups I use constantly.

I'll make it a good morning:




Note: I usually wear three layers of baggy clothing, such as here. I no longer fit into my high school dobok unless I wear two sets of shorts/pants underneath it for padding (I don't want my uniform pants slipping off as I train), same for the top half. You can see how much thinner I am with one layer of clothing on in my other photos. The bag is around a support beam embedded into the building.

You didn't think I would make up that whole "defeated the best of the UFC the World Boxing Champions with only punches off-stage" Testimony, did ya? I have to back up what I say.

Move aside, Ryu from Street Fighter; hold my Hayabusa Leather Gloves and go knock yourself out from seeing what Tae-Kwon-Do punches do bare-knuckled when I've got an asthma attack going on in the middle of punching things.

Bluetooth availability for headphones is my favorite addition.

What's funny with NX firmwares numerous McStabilities updates (that do not improve UX/UI in any sense since it's the same exact bland slideshow as v1.0) is that it's kept atmosphere's dev efforts afloat over the years, thereby stimulating the increase of its stability. Kudos to Nintendo for this

Still not a thing on the PS5

No no no no no, that's too easy. Buy 500 $1 scratchoff lottery tickets. If you're broke, then steal them.

Disclaimer: Stealing is a crime, and stealing lottery tickets is useless because they aren't considered valid until scanned at a register. This post is purely satire, and should not be attempted in any way. Thank you for reading.

Lets see if it breaks Atmosphere this time around

atmosphere is most definitely broken

my system updated on me a few minutes ago and i've tried 3 separate times to load my switch after the update

but every time i click atmosphere in the hekate menu, i get a black screen and nothing loads
