Gaming eShop on 3.0?

[YugamiSekai]

I don't have any games and my Switch is on 3.0.0, so can I download some demos without having to update?

 

[TheCyberQuake]

No

 

[YugamiSekai]

No

I'm screwed

Any access to any online content will require you to update the console. Your only way is to buy physical versions of games, and check beforehand if it contains an update, and if yes, be sure the firmware is 3.0.0 or less.

I've got a buddy I've known for almost fifteen years so I trust him completely. Today we exhanged nintendo accounts and tried to deactivate our consoles and reactivating on the other's to download and play games on each other accounts. It's very easy and for us it's great for trying out games. For example I'll probably be able to play through Steamworld Dig 2 since it's so short. None of us have issues about buying games but it's still a nice "feature" for the two of us.

I don't think thair will be a free shop like thing for the switch....

 

[Beerus]

why buy a switch if your not gonna buy games?

No kidding buy some games. First time in over 20 years they have very solid third party support along with their own. Buy something so it continues as they've been in purgatory long enough.

And speaking of version numbers, the eShop itself I think should still be consider a 0.X release. Idiots won't even setup a proper site so you can get to everything which is a disaster now into the 100s of releases on there already. As things age it falls off the page or group search to a point where you need to type the game name into search manually to find it. Not very good if you don't know what and just want to browse which can't help developers make some money. The 3DS/WiiU site weren't that great but they are fully functional at least.

I am not screwed because I dont care about the demos, lol. Therefore, I am very happy with 3.0.0 and leave it alone.

By the way, still loved your avatar. Loved it, man!

Spend $300 on a console just to let it sit and never play anything. Because MAYBE one day soon... free games.

lol

That's what we do for Nintendo Switch and it is about a month now. The same for PS4. However, it is still sit for more than 3 years now. Thats okay because we have PS3 jailbreak to enjoy for years to come. We still have PS3 jailbreak for about 5 years now.

I've got a great pc with fast loading on SSD and my ps4 is sitting in the closet. I want Dreams so I'm not going to bother hacking it. It's got so few exclusives I'll just buy them at this point I think.

Don't expect them to find one for 3.0.1+ anytime soon, either, if ever.

I bought a switch a couple months ago and the only games I have are sonic mania and golf story. The only reason I have those are because they were free. If you just spent $300 dollars on a console, you might not have the cash to buy games for it

you don't care about playing the latest games either like odyssey, xenoblade, metroid and shit ton of others too?
