I suppose Europe is considered to be part of the Japanese Empire..... (as almost every European Switch I've seen is XAJ) /s
Or perhaps Japan provided all of the consoles for Europe? No idea...
PS: Well, I will update my serial number as you proposed.

Dunno either..
But as I said,
1. maybe it's where the factory is located
[hmm... debunked with the "made in china". If it was assembled in another country, they are obligated to write Made in _Country_]
2. maybe in the start was not meant to be region-free.
[more probable]
3 .maybe it's for what region meant to be released
[less probable than 2.]

Oh, I see. That makes sense. I guess we need numbers that are at least accurate to the hundred thousand.
Yes!
But we still want the XAW70. Because we don't know yet if the 9 digit number is global or if it's per "factory".

I updated the OP and inserted all the serials that already included the necessary informations. When I started the thread I
used the 3DS serial thread as an example, I hand't considered that the 3DS has sold much more consoles that the switch so
less digits of the serial were needed. Oh well.

Yeah, just mine came with Neon Blue and Red instead of Pink and Green, and its EU.
Also hm i cant seem to find my serial, where is it?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Yo found it,
Nintendo Switch + Splatoon 2 Bundle
Serial: XAJ4001 (is this enough?)
Firmware it came with: 2.1 i believe but it was below 3.0 for sure
System Color: Neon Red and Blue (not the new green and pink one)
Region: EUR (Germany)
Oh and it was purchased the day after spla2ns release which is 22/7
So for anyone who wants to buy the splat bundle, i think you are safe (i hope!).


the USA version of the Splatoon 2 cartridge has fw2.30 on it

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
