We see this question all the time.

Q: Is it reasonable to upgrade from <console version here> to the latest?

This is always a question that depends on what matters to you. In general, I'd say a there are a few heuristics that help to make the decision:

  • I'd never upgrade a 1.0.0 console-- these are a rare firmware version with software that's filled with delightful issues. If you have one and want a latest-firmware version now, I'd suggest selling it and buying a new console-- currently, this appears to be profitable.
  • Versions below 3.0.1 but above 1.0.0 still have some pretty neat value to them-- they have a very powerful vulnerability that allows access to most of the system. However, it's up to you if you want to hold on to these versions. I'd suggest it, but it's entirely possible that it is worth more to you be able to e.g. use your switch online right now than it is to have the possibility of using those software exploits in the future.
  • Versions between 3.0.1 and 4.1.0 still have vulnerabilities that we've proven to work, but they don't give you the immediate fun that switches in the previous two categories do. There's still a case for holding onto these until all details regarding Fusée Gelée are released, so you can understand what the advantages and disadvantages are of Fusée Gelée before upgrading.
It's always up to you whether you want to upgrade. We've used the mantra "lower is better" for some time, and I think that still generally applies, but the situation obviously has a lot more subtleties than can be fit in a three-word phrase.

Eh i want games more then i want my switch hacked.
If you truly want indie games more than having your Switch hacked the solution is pretty simple.
There are alot of amazing indie games in the Switch, sure you can get them elsewhere but playing Celeste on my lunch break from work is amazing.

I'd say update, why even think about it if you want to buy those games?

It's the facebook generation, better get used to it (or like me, hope you die before you have to).

It's kind of sad. Everything needing validation from a warm body, doesn't matter who. A "pat on the head/participation trophy for everything" has made this an odd generation indeed.
