They come with 9.0
Seen a lot today (i bought an xl tho)
Look for s/n on the box side, you will see:
YEF (white) or YEM (black) then the numbers, you will be surely ok with 100xxxxx x; 101xxxxx x; 102xxxxx x

Thanks. Bought one in EU. Black YEM1008x. Came with 9.0.

Unfortunately no, would be nice if a Mod could edit the 1st page.

From what I understand only the limited edition ones are 100% safe to buy (MM and MH), since nobody reported having one of those above 9.2

i read someone got the JPN MM console and it was 9.4, so mostly safe, not sure about the MM JPN console though

Were there any black consoles above 9.2? I thought it was only the red ones that were not safe.

Not sure about black systems, but I ordered Australian Majora's Mask, just in-case, hopefully no surprises xD

also worth mentioning here incase someone reads this in a few weeks time that there was a second batch of MM console that where being shipped for march, so they will most likely be 9.4 MM consoles all around, so if anyone reads this after march even new MM console *may* not be safe

Can you take pictures of it? Be sure to delete the later parts of the barcode, too, since they're equivalent to the serial number.
