- Beat me to it. :)
I'm not interested in the Switch 2, but things like that are why I thought about buying one for like a second, just to have a low firmware one.
- Yup, my plan was to just buy one and let it sit until something was found. It was just too expensive, though; I can't warrant that price.
  
  Exactly. It’d be cool to have in a few months/years when the exploits inevitably get patched. But there’s no way for me to justify the purchase at that price point.
  
  I'm considering getting a Switch 1 now. I can find hackable ones for €100 in my area.
  But then again, it doesn't really do anything I can't do with my other devices.
- Yeah that's the only reason I've considered it. However, things have changed a lot since the Switch 1 came out. Existing Switch emulators will likely work well on Switch 2 soon given the similar hardware and the Steam Deck massively raised the bar on what I expect out of a portable system.
  Plus the controller still looks like it sucks for adult hands.
Now I get why they didnt want there to be physical Cardridges
This way, there is no way someone can boot it on a day one version if they didnt buy it right now and updated it to v 1.0, effectively making it impossible for normal to use exploits for older versions
- Oh so you can't buy the physical copy of game for Switch 2? That's lame.
  
  There’s a lot of noise and disinformation floating out there, here’s the simplest explanation:
  The Switch 2 will launch with three different types of physical cartridges denoted by serial numbers to describe their purpose:
  LB - The cartridge will work on Nintendo Switch 2 consoles only.
  LP - Game Key cartridges in which a digital download is required.
  LN - The cartridge will work on both Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
  
  If you didn't know, there are still physical cartridges, but these do not have the game, but only a „key” which you can download the game with.
