This, evre console that sold over 100m was very easily pirated and all had great software sales.

Saying that, there are already some leakead informations that Nintendo will most likly do silent revision of Switch where will be patched this Tegra exploit, its expected that those consoles will hit market in very near future.

The main problem here is Nintendo being too slow to add functions to Switch, like a Virtual Console, Web Browser and easy save game backup. People are going to hack switch for backing up a salve file, and this is all on Nintendo for not providing its users ways too do Basic stuff.

This is why having an app store, an Other OS functions or other interesting things to keeping homebrew comunnity happy whitout having crack the hardware the best thing.

Well, this was rather fast. At this rate we might have the first R4-like Switch cartridges before 2020.

I hope this won't lead to an influx of cheaters/hackers, as that stuff can kill competitive online multiplayer games.

Apple had the same problem with the first iPhone, Steve Jobs refused to put an app store until jailbreak proved to be popular.

I don't understand the hate concerning jailbreaking, a person has the right to make modifications to their own device and Run wichever software they feel like running, wich is a complete different animal from piracy.

Wont be long until Switch runs pirated Switch games now...

A hacker already worked out a way to back-up game save's to a pc, and restor them to a switch.
So if you damaged your switch, you wouldnt lose your save games (if you had to buy a new switch).

Apparently it took him less than 2 weeks, of playing around with the switch to figour out how to do it.
Makes you question why nintendo doesnt already have a solution in place.

Run linux and run a android emulator for linux, and done.
most of those mobile phone games arnt too demanding, so it ll probably run fine on the switch if thats your goal.

And if thats your goal, yeah you need to get one of the current Switch models, not wait a years time or so, until a revised switch version comes out.

If you want to be able to play homebrew, use linux, and run pirated games yes.

Wouldnt be surprised if a year from now (so in 2019), you have R4 like thingy for the Switch.
