 So the Nintendo switch 6.0.0 update has been data mined and you might be thinking how is that possible? You just talked about how hackers figured out that it was even coming Well, it turns out that Nintendo has already loaded the 6.0.0 update onto their servers and hackers have naturally Downloaded it off of their servers gotten it to run on their hack switches And thus have become to data mine the update to see what new features might be coming to switch Or we'll be coming to switch with this update and yes folks It this update is the one that is required for the Nintendo switch online service. This is not a big surprise It's what everyone thought the subject was going to be and as that Being such an important update you would figure that there is a lot of important stuff in this update and Well, you're gonna be a little disappointed. No, this isn't just a system stability update or something dumb like that Even those updates are very important. This includes the Nintendo switch online subscription support Which does apparently have a slogan for some reason and the slogan for this Nintendo switch online service is more games more features more fun But the only feature really discovered is Just the cloud backup data what you're seeing a screenshot of like you have an ability not to back up your games to the cloud That that's a feature. We already knew was coming. We still don't know fully how it works It's not active right now, but it is in the update. No big surprise there. Obviously more games We're talking to those NES games. What was interesting as they did uncover some new controller icons You know when you go to set your controllers and you see little icons for represented a joy con or a pro controller Or a wider USB controller Well now there are icons for Different NES controllers the old-school Famicom controller from Japan And there is what appears to be like a Super Nintendo controller potentially It's more of a classic controller because a Super Nintendo controller isn't shaped exactly like that. That's more I don't know like it feels a lot more like the classic that like the you know, the classic pro controller or whatever From the Wii U days Maybe even like an 8-bit dough style controller is actually what it looks more like to me But it could be a SNES controller. Whatever whatever the case may be They're obviously adding support for a controller like that and obviously some NES style controllers They're probably going to release that are Bluetooth and I think that's some a really neat thing especially for those classic games We can look at whether or not that's a SNES controller or The classic controller support or whether or not it's it's an 8-bit dough or whatever it is It could potentially hint that that Super Nintendo games are coming There's nothing in the code base so far the data miners have uncovered that seems to suggest that there is going to be anything else like that But that's basically it the only other thing this update has at least on the surface are some new icons For your profile. There are two of Captain Toad two of toadette one of Wingo and one of Dragadon All of these characters are from Captain toad, you know treasure trackers. So yeah, obviously you're adding more icons for games That are already out of great Would have been nice to see some autofat traveler icons if I'm being honest, but oh, you know the icons don't really matter that much to me I've got mine. I'm perfectly happy with the icon. I'm using right now Everything else that seems to be there is just stuff to deter Hackers from the current ways they are accessing the system You know, there's mitigations now included in this update against the deja vu method Which is an unreleased switch exploit There's also enhanced telemetry to detect exploit utilities among other things There really isn't much else other than that beyond, you know evidence improved that yes This actually exists people have actually downloaded it. This is from Nintendo blah, blah, blah And this seems to be what developers have been working with now for a little bit in preparation for this Suppose a massive update which essentially just turns the on switch on and the time to switch online Subscription and adds in the save backups now They have not found anything else in this update. There's nothing else There's no themes. There's no folders. There's no custom organization. You're not going to see things, you know If they're adding Netflix support, that's gonna be through the e-shop That's not something you would even really see in an OS update. That's an application. There's no messaging. There's no local backups Pretty much anything you could ever want Nintendo to actually do with a paid subscription service is not here It's just what they told us and this could be why we haven't really heard anything now We talked about several times. Maybe even some are complaining That we don't know enough about the Nintendo switch online service and it could just be that there really isn't anything to talk about The only thing arguably to talk about and show off are just how the NES games work, right? Like yeah, how to swap play work, you know, let's get a video showing that off Let's get a video showing off multiplayer and online leaderboards But that might be it and they might not think that's enough to really, you know, have a direct about it to that to me This sounds like or at least what it appears like on the surface and again This doesn't include any updates to the Nintendo switch online app on your phone Which could have messaging which could have lobbies and could have heck maybe achievements or whatever like all that could be handled To the Nintendo switch online app if they wanted to I think it's a stupid move I think there's a lot of people that just don't even want to load up that app when they're playing online But whatever it's there and maybe Nintendo is gonna push that but at least on the switch itself It appears that you're just getting exactly what Nintendo said you're gonna get and nothing more and nothing special You get cloud save backups and you get to play games online like you're already doing right now But it's behind a paywall. There's nothing extra And you get these NES games of extra controller support So if you're wondering why we aren't hearing anything else about Nintendo switch online service, there isn't anything else to hear about It's kind of disappointing to be honest now I have to note this is data mining It's potential that there is another Update to the 6.0 update. That's not on Nintendo servers yet After all this update is not fully public yet and it's subject to change It's possible that You know that nothing that there's something someone's missing in the data mining, you know It's been up for 13 plus hours at this point. There's a whole thread of reddit about it It doesn't appear that anything else has really been discovered of use to anyone in terms of information There's obviously, you know new new new security measures that they're finding all the time to try to deal with hackers But they're not really finding anything at all It's what it sounds like is if you were looking forward to paying to access Playing online games, then I guess You can look forward to having the exact same service you already currently have for free It's a little disappointing if I'm being completely honest. I want more I expect more We're approaching, you know getting close to you know year and a half You know thinking about the two-year mark on this platform coming up still can't organize our games I don't really care about the custom theme even organizing games to me is a huge one that just needs to be on the system It's fine if they don't believe in achievements and they don't really want to do anything beyond my Nintendo But how about some my Nintendo integration? I don't there's a zillion things I could think of that would be really nice to include on a major update like this for the Online servers instead folks. We're paying 20 bucks a year to or 35 with friends will about per year For access to games we can already play online for free with no additional extra services or guaranteed dedicated servers I think some people were looking forward to that. Hey, maybe we get dedicated servers No, everything is still peer-to-peer and we're paying for access to our own internet to do peer-to-peer multiplayer games not good they're you're getting those NES games and Cloud backups Bingo bingo bongo. It's weird that they even have like that. They're calling them to switch online service more games more features More fun the only new feature the only new feature is the cloud save backups They're not adding anything else, you know more fun You're not having more fun by putting up paywall between someone who buys platoon 2 and someone who who bought platoon 2 Now you have a paywall in between them playing against each other. That's not more fun more games I I'll give that to them fine slogan. It's just it feels incomplete if nothing else. I hope this isn't everything. I Am not impressed with this at all. I'm not gonna throw a lot of shade at Nintendo just yet because again, this isn't fully public It's not technically out there for people to download besides, you know, people who have hacked into the servers so again You take this all with a grain of salt in terms of what features may be added or aren't being added but This doesn't look good at all and I got to say Yeah, Nintendo's only charging 20 bucks. I'm not so sure the service is really worth 20 bucks But you know me I'm gonna end up having it so I can have those cloud backups And so I can play games online with you guys because Nintendo's now putting a paywall between my data and what you know Being able to back up my data and being able to play with you guys even though they're not providing any Networking or any server-side stuff to make my gameplay better I'm Nathaniel of a dance from Nintendo Prime Let me know what you think about this down in the comments below as always folks You could show a little love our way if you would like at patreon.com slash Nintendo Prime for as little as one dollar per month You can throw a little love our way and help support what we do. Otherwise folks I'm just gonna catch you in the next one
