    The first Switches with a patch for Fusée Gelée have been spotted in the wild. There is only a hand full of confirmed serials that are known to be patched, but I will try to find all information in the next days and update with new informations.

    Serial:
    Serial on device matches serial on box:
    Region:
    Firmware:
    Color option:
    Store:
    Was a bundle (if yes, which):
    Purchase date:
    Fusée Gelée works:

    If you know with which Firmware your switch came out of the box, please fill in those fields. Shout out to @gnilwob, who created a tutorial to check if your switch is able to run a Fusée Gelée payload. You can view it here.

    According to CTCear, here are some information about the Switch serial numbers:

    For example: XAJ70002712345

    X: Product of NX line
    A: Switch Hardware
    J70: Assembly line
    The following numbers are probably a consecutive number. So the Switch in the example is Switch number 2712345.

    Here is a quick guide on how to check the Firmware without going through the initial setup.
    Where to look for the serial before you buy a Switch: There is a hole on the underside of the box where a sticker with the serial is placed.

    The spoiler has a pic with the location.
    Warning: Spoilers inside!



    TL;DR. Compare your serial here to know if your Switch is patched or not:

    Serials beginning with XAW1:
    XAW10078XXX and below are safe to buy
    XAW10079XXX and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAW1010XXX and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAW4:
    XAW40011XXX and below are safe to buy
    XAW40012XXX and above not not safe, possibly patched
    XAW40013XXX and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAW7:
    XAW700178X and below are safe to buy
    XAW700179X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAW70019X and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAJ1:
    XAJ10031XX and above not safe to buy, possibly patched

    Serials beginning with XAJ4:
    XAJ40050X and below are safe to buy
    XAJ40051X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAJ4006XX and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAJ7:
    XAJ70042X and below are safe to buy
    XAJ70043X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAJ7005XX and above definitely patched



    Serial numbers of unpatched Switches. Serial number in orange are reported as unpatched, but should not be used to determin if your Switch us unpatched. These Serials were reported as patched by others.
    If you just want to know if your Switch is patched or not, refer to the TL;DR section. The spoiler blow is only useful for people how want to buy a Switch an a specific firmware.

    don't give the full serial number.
    only the beginning should be enough (like we did on Wii)

    you never know what could be done to your console/account if you publicly provide your full serial.

    2.2.0 installed, I think that is the idea of this post

    — Posts automatically merged - Please don't double post! —

    So, in USA regions, we can say XAW1000 is 1.0.0 ans XAW1001 is 2.2.0

    Man, this breaks my "theory", are you sure is 7000 and not 1000? :( Or maybe XAJ7000, like the EUR consoles? :/

    What does XAJ70006 mean?
    It came with version 1.0.0 since i didn't have any internet when i unboxed my switch. As soon as i connected it wanted me to update to 3.0.0.

    Uhm, I don't know?
    Is that your serial number?

    It looks for me like only the first four numbers matter, after that the serial number is probably console unique.
    I will edit the OP to only include the first 4 numbers.
