SX OS at the moment allows homebrew and backups. Everything else works as normal. So currently there is no way to download updates on any firmware besides 5.1. This will most probably change as we should be able to inject game updates in the future.

We do need beta testers for Nintendo online security. Please go online with SX OS playing backups as much as possible. Thank you.

I will be downloading game updates the day mine arrives. Don't use online outside of that though.

After Nintendo starts charging for subscriptions for online play, there will no longer be any free online play, at least using Nintendo's official servers. Doesn't matter whether you're using SX OS or not.

If someone develops something like Wiimmfi for the Switch, free online play may be possible. But that's a ton of work, and probably many years away.

However, X-Link Kai could possibly simulate a local wireless connection, bypassing the need to "emulate" Nintendo's servers. This sounds far more plausible and has been used to avoid needing to pay for other online services, like Xbox Live, in the past. I wouldn't be surprised at all if people started using X-Link Kai for Switch online after the subscription plans go in effect.

We can play paid online with backups too. The question is the same.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.
