Curious if this affects Nvidia future with nintendo considering the exploit is found on their X1 tengra, now on the switch (literally a paper clip)

Im not surprised tbh that the switch was gacked in such a short time.

I just hope this doesnt have any major downside to it for us that plan on playing legit.

CurbStompin2610d ago

Someone gacked your keyboard.

mikeslemonade2610d ago

hacked to play what. It can't even handle dreamcast games.

Kerplunk802610d ago

@mikeslemonade

You try too hard.

majiebeast2611d ago

the most surprising thing is that its done by using some type of custom lego block that pushes 2 pins inside the switch.

luckytrouble2610d ago

You can short the pin without the tool, but the tool exists for the non-technically inclined.

Qrphe2610d ago

You need to do it asap. The original batch of switch consoles will be priceless after this get taken out from newer models.

cell9892610d ago

Now I’m coy to buy one, before they fix that hardware exploit

superchiller2610d ago (Edited 2610d ago )

Me too, I would never have bought one due to Nintendo's lame eShop, anti-consumer policies, and overpriced games, but if I can just pay for the system by itself and not worry about all that, it might be fun to play around with.

Sirk7x2610d ago

You mean, "now that you don't have to pay for games."

cell9892610d ago

I was thinking more about possible home brew classics

I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2

OtterX14h ago

I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.

I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.

dmonee3h ago

My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.

Lionsguard3h ago

Give me my RDR2 Undead Nightmare already.

yeh i can see that.

bk then, nintendo was rly successful with the wii, and they just did their own thing.

now nintendo is a juggernaut when it comes to first party games ; selling in the 10s of mio.

hiawa238h ago

Good interview. I mean I see Nintendo in their own lane.

Kneetos7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Not sure how he came to that conclusion of Japan
PlayStation has been in decline since the PS2
Aside from the Wii U Nintendo pretty much outpaced Sony in Japan, and not by a small margin

goken4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Huh?
Saying playstation is in decline since PS2 is like saying Call of Duty has been in decline since black ops 3… the point is COD is still selling gang busters everywhere every year

Nintendo undoubtedly doing better than PS in Japan owes at least in part to Japan’s preference towards handheld gaming.

ZeekQuattro4h ago

The PS3 was actually the start of Sony's hardware decline in Japan. It's only gotten worse since then for Sony.

Gex Trilogy (Switch) -A Happy Throwback That Couldn't Be Any More '90s| NintendoLife

"Gex Trilogy is a happy throwback. The first game is a little clunky and occasionally laborious, but its sequels do better in their 3D expansion of its themes and idea. The main point of appeal is its connection to the period in which they were made. It’s full of comic quirks, zinging dialogue, and visual gags that scream MTV Generation. Across all three entries, the media hook and its tropes — from horror to Christmas to 1930s prohibition gangsters — work well to keep things fresh, fun and engaging.

That said, while there's a simplicity to the games themselves, the yesteryear technology and the sensibilities of many gamers may have moved on, making their baked-in fetch quests trying at times. Gex Trilogy’s value is bumped up by its invention and still very playable design aspects, but whether or not you can pit yourself through them really comes down to how much your nostalgic mileage varies, dude." - Tom Massey | NintendoLife

Take me back to the 90's, please! I'm sold.

azedean13h ago

It still does not work on switch 2...

OtterX13h ago

Yea Limited Run didn't get their dev kits until a couple weeks b4 launch. Something to do with Nintendo shunning Embracer Group companies. They're working on a fix, but yea I'm not buying it either until it works on Switch 2.
