Hacking unpatched Switch consoles is dead simple for the end user There is no software means to hack the console either, on any reasonably recent firmware. Referred to as “patched consoles”, recently purchased Nintendo Switch cannot be hacked through the dead simple “clip” trick that everybody else enjoys. Newly produced Nintendo Switch consoles, under the codename Mariko, as well as the Nintendo Switch Lite, do not have the same hardware vulnerability. That is, all consoles that were manufactured before Nintendo came up with a hardware revision, of course. All Switch consoles were exploitable at the time of the release, and will remain so forever. The simplicity of the hack (from end users’ perspective), as well as the huge tinkerer community, have made the Nintendo Switch homebrew scene the most lively of this generation. Based on a hardware vulnerability of the NVidia Tegra GPU on the console, the exploit was virtually unpatchable for Nintendo. In 2018, the Fusée Gelée hack for Nintendo Switch, released by hacker Kate Temkin, blew open the doors to Switch hacks for all users.
