You gonna need the japanese tetris cartridge to access the browser and get access to HB as of now.
Remember: other tetris versions do not work!

Well you don't really need the tetris game update since you can use Pokken Tournament DX to update from 1.0.0 to 3.0.0. Correct me if I'm wrong.

His question was whether he needs to update to get HB. So the answer was no.
To make it clear, he didn't say he want it instantly or even in the short term as he will be busy playing a game he likes.
As soon as there is CFW for which he should wait if he is on 1.0.0 he will be able to use any customized switch fw and play what ever he wants.

If you are on firmware 3.0.0 Lucky You!!! :) Turn off wifi-go to settings-system-turn off automatic updates-turn on wifi

If you are on firmware 4.1.0 like me I just tried to homebrew my switch however it does not work :(
The browser on the switchbru dns server is quite like homebrew however I'm looking forward to getting homebrew out on 4.1.0 soon!

1.00 won't be worth it because the time when the cfws better 4.10 will have it 1.00 users will get really basic cfw by the time it supports 4.10 it will be better thers like no good homebrew now anyways.

Sorry to clarify just I don’t want to screw it up after waiting so long, 3.0.1 will get it no sooner then 4.1.0? (Theoretically!) thanks

mario kart 8 deluxe hackers will be a thing the onlines peer to peer so idk if they will be able to detect it i've cheated on mk7 with no bans.
Unless Nintendo releases a new update which would most likely before a cfw is released. We would then have to be on the lastest firmware to have online access ruining the chances of having cfw

once a person has cfw they can use emunand to play games online and cheat. so if you can not update untill theres cfw nintendo can't patch it.

Thanks for this information. Recent progress on the NSW made me go out and buy one.

Purchased 01/21/18 off Amazon. Just plugged it in last night and it came with 3.0.0.

Leaving it there with Wi-Fi disabled until things unfold a little more.

Lucky you. Ordered mine on 01/18 from Walmart and got 3.0.2. =\ I was planning on having it in the closet for a year or more anyway, though. Updated to 4.1.0 today, but there's nothing on the Eshop that caught my eye. :P Back in the closet it went.

Seriously lucky. I got my gray switch from amazon 11/13/17 and it was on 3.0.2

I bought a 1.0.0 version in Føtex (Danish brick-and-mortar store) earlier this week. I have been staring at it since day one. I guess I am the first to buy from that particular store. I have ordered the Tetris game and I am eagerly waiting for the hack. I really want custom firmware, where you can disable accidental firmware updates. Damn it would be great for emulators on the go and at my TV.

Come to me, now!

My Switch is still on 3.0.0, and I have not really paid a lot of attention to the homebrew news. If I unedrstand correctly, however, I should be able to update to 4.1.0 (the current version) and have access to homebrew.

If this is true, then I will do so tonight because I really do want to play Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
