Yes, there is an internet web icon on the lower left.

Mmmh where ?

Yes, there is an internet web icon on the lower left.

That's a LANGUAGE icon not internet browser...

Anyways, the UI looks horrible and plain, doesn't say Nintendo at all.. and no web browser? WTF, what about youtube? Twitch, Netflix and Hulo and all the streaming apps? my guessing is that all of them including the WEB BROWSER are going to be separated apps available on the eShop, that's better for Nintendo because if you hackers/developers exploit the console thru the browser Nintendo wont need to update the whole system, but just the web browser app on the eShop and force the others to update it in order to keep using the app.. they will update the browser app everytime you guys break it xD its just gonna be easier for them to block exploits...

That being said, yes I think there will be a web browser, but is gonna be a standalone app, not integrated to the system.

Cant wait to see more of the UI and the changes it will face day 1.

wouldnt be surprised if it gets hacked easily though. from what i was told, it used some of the same architecture as 3ds, which took just about a year and 9 months to hack

I'm guessing by the icons on the top left, it has multi-user integration? :o

I have a feeling this isn't the final UI. And if it is...well let's just say, that's not good.

blocking said updates would be no diffrent then what we do now though. nintendo apps have to call home before it can block you because of an outdated browser
*proceeds to block their update servers like we do on wiiu/3ds*

 

[pietempgba]

yeah lol

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

oh and somebody found nintendo switch files for just dance 2017 by changing wiiu to nx on ubisoft's cdn

but i also expect them to have better security though, with all the extra revenue from their paid online services to put extra funds into it

System update and app update are not the same, blocking the DNS wont work lol xD IS NOT LIKE the app will update itself, but you wont be able to use it until you update it.

thats not what i mean, i mean you can block it anyway, because to check for an update, they MUST connect to a specific url.
block url, and mission accomplished.

edit:
dns wouldnt, yes, but we block specific urls on our routers

 

[spotanjo3]

Mmmh where ?

Actually, that's a language icon according to huma_dawii. Sorry.

I bet the system is gonna know anyways you are using an outdated version of the app... somehow.

well, it cant exactly tell, it cant connect to the server to verify that it actually is, even if it feels like it is

Given that it's using a different manufacturer for processing and graphics, I don't believe it's using the same architecture as the 3DS.

makes sense.

It most likely is. The future is here, flat is amazingly good looking and popular. Deal with it.

Hope we can with homebrew change the theme to a custom theme

The Nintendo Switch is not going to get homebrew.

The Nintendo Switch is not going to get homebrew.

Why not? there's going to be a subscription service so.... somebody needs to figure out how to break it unless the switch runs on a modified version of android
