Switch firmware update version 10.0.0 seems to include preliminary support for a new hardware model
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo issued a major update for Switch last night, upgrading the firmware to version 10.0.0. You can read about all of the new features here.
Aside from what Nintendo officially shared, version 10.0.0 also appears to make some notable additions behind the scenes. Dataminer Mike Heskin, after poking through the update, reports that Nintendo has added preliminary support for a new hardware model, which is known as “nx-abcd”. Heskin further states that “3 of the 5 new DRAM profiles are for this new hardware type and there’s evidence of a secondary display of sorts being added exclusively on this model.”
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said earlier this year that there are no plans to release a new Switch model in 2020. The company has somewhat struggled to keep up with demand for the system as of late – particular in Japan – in light of the coronavirus.

Rumor: Pokemon Yellow source code leak references scrapped Pokemon Pink, audio files for anime cries
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
If the latest reports are to be believed, there may have been plans at one point to create a companion game for Pokemon Yellow. Source code for the series’ original games have appeared online, and in the header of Pokemon Yellow, there’s a reference to “Pocket Monsters Pink and Yellow”. The code also has other references to a potential Pink version as well.
The thought here is that Pokemon Pink, had it actually released, could have starred Clefairy or Jigglypuff. Of course, that’s just speculation.
