    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.

        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.

        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.

      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.
