Are you ready to rumble? The Switch sure isn't, because it's so stable. A brand new firmware update has been pushed out, bringing the Nintendo hybrid system to software version 12.0.3. As usual, the patch notes don't offer a single bit of insight as to what this update brings to the table, so if you're curious about what's going on under the hood, be sure to wait it out and get the all-clear from the usual knowledgable sources and devs.

Ver. 12.0.3 (Released June 7, 2021)
General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

UPDATE: SciresM has commented on the matter. It appears Atmosphere users will need an update, which will happen soon, likely sometime tomorrow.

Looks like atmosphere will need a (probably minor) update; I'm indisposed for the next ~12 hours, but unless something crazy happens I'll try to get stuff sorted by tomorrow. https://t.co/QqyeRLy1yt

UPDATE 2: Reports are going around that the update has been pulled, as it causes issues with downloading games from the eShop. Supposedly, the update is still live on Nintendo's servers, but Switch consoles now default back to seeing 12.0.2 as the most recent update. Be wary of any issues, if you did update, and share any experiences. Nintendo still has the 12.0.3 announcement post live on their official website.

This shit is becoming stale already.

This shit became stale with the 3DS at this point is just beating a dead horse.

For anyone wondering, this update does not break Atmosphere. I have a guinea pig Switch and just updated, all is good

When you have the ability to stab.

So close to E3, could there be something else Nintendo is planning?

The Switch is already way more stable than the 3DS, it's way harder to hack. I just updated, BTW.

 

[fvig2001]

Man I still haven't updated to 12.0.2. I hope it actually fixes something outside CFW.

 

[Brawl345]
