A new Nintendo Switch firmware has arrived. System software version 17.0.0 is now available to download. According to the official patch notes, there's not much of substance to the update, despite its new milestone version number; it's simply the traditional stability updates. It does, however, patch Atmosphere, with the CFW not working on the latest OFW. SciresM is currently working on support for 17.0.0, though a new update may be slightly delayed.

I'll be working to get Atmosphere updated for 17.0.0 as soon as I can.

This may be a little sketchy/touch-and-go -- I'm traveling this weekend without access to my normal PC. https://t.co/nOt31dlOcQ

Nintendo continuing their long standing tradition for having the most boring and pointless updates possible

Damn, I hate when it happens. I hope at least Sonic Superstars won't have this mandatory yet.

and for what? weeks/months of works to make it "more stable" just to become "unstable" again within few hours...

I feel like June 15th is around the corner. So soon.

that thing is becoming more stable than a three leg stool.

Nintendo doesn’t know how versioning works..

 

[NinStar]

Nintendo's versioning never makes sense.

 

[nWo]

Hot damn! They don't even care anymore.

This update is not a significant one, it's just a patch. There are no major or minor changes included in it. Although I'm unsure why they labeled it as 17.0.0 (major update), it should have been 16.1.1. Nintendo is just doing their thing, I guess...

Mario wonder leaks tomorrow, YHIHF!

Must be a whole new level of stability if they went to the trouble of upping the version number
