Hacking Kirby only needs 4.1

[eskinner3742]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I can confirm that Kirby Star Allies only requires 4.1 to play, however I read that later releases of the cart will require a newer firmware, this I cannot confirm.

So if on 4.1 and don't plan to update. Pick up Kirby today. That is all.

Too bad the demo won't download unless I update the system.

Thanks for the heads up. Will likely pick it up today, seeing as I don't plan on updating. Fingers crossed Runner 3 works on 4.1!

EDIT: Will we be able to apply their day 1 patch without it updating the system firmware?

Probably not. It's advised if you want Kirby, buy it now because I'm sure there will be revisions carts soon.

I have not

Yeah, also hoping Hyrule Warriors will work with 4.1. And I have deleted all internet connections for my switch so I can't say whether or not you can update. Sorry.

Let me add this, I have not been super impressed with the newer Kirby titles. While fun, I don't think they really did much to breath that new life into the series. But for some reason, Star Allies is a really fun and new Kirby title that I enjoy. If you like the classic platforming Kirby games, specifically Kirby SuperStar, you will love Star Allies.

Yeah it was obvious before release that the carts wouldn't require 5.0.0. That update didn't release until this week, and the carts had to have been shipped out by then. Just can't get the update from what I hear.

Just why do you make this? There is a tread about that... stickied and well...

what if it has a day one update (just thinking out loud)

You can't update anything now on a lower FW. You could cancel the update and still play without it however.

Most games don't come with a day one update that is required to play the game.

Not from what I recall (though for Zelda its been over a year so I may not remember). And even if they did, the update wasn't required to play the game, which is what I was talking about.

Zelda had a day 1 update on the Wii U for sure. I don't remember the Switch needing it, though.

To be fair I never bothered with the wii u version
