Of course, this is very normal for major version updates, because the entire operating system needs to be adapted with the new SDK version.

Among other things, @OatMealDome discovered the following:

• Added new error code messages.
• Various main menu messages changed. For some reason, a bunch of its GUI files were updated.
• Time zone data updated.
• Added new harmony keyword.

In an interview with Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said: There is currently no comment on the specifics of subsequent models, but they are still continuing to conduct hardware research and development, and will continue to focus on until March 2024. Nintendo Switch Business.

 Whether it’s “after Switch” or whenever, the most important thing for us is whether we can deliver what our customers really want.

Regarding the life cycle of Nintendo Switch, Furukawa Shuntaro replied: We are still developing Nintendo Switch software for the next fiscal year (before March 2025).

 While the momentum is still maintained, we will be committed to continuing to expand the Switch business. This fiscal year, we hope that the momentum of "Zelda" and movies will continue, and we will have a successful year-end business war. As for hardware, it will not only maximize new demand, but also expand the demand for "second units" and replacements.

Regarding the increase of developers in the headquarters, he said:

 The resources required for individual game development are constantly increasing, and we must strengthen our own development system. If you want to develop a game that meets Nintendo's expectations, it's not just about increasing the number of people. Therefore, rather than shifting resources outside the company, we must strengthen internal development resources that deeply understand Nintendo's DNA and brand philosophy.

 Although I do not deny the usefulness of M&A (mergers and acquisitions), if an organization that does not understand Nintendo’s philosophy joins, it may not produce the expected results. On the other hand, if there is a company with a similar development concept to Nintendo, we hope to establish various cooperative relationships instead of simply acquiring them.

It is worth mentioning that Tom Henderson, a well-known whistleblower in the industry, previously revealed on the X platform that “in the next 12 to 18 months, many games will be simultaneously launched on the XSX, PS5, Switch2 and PC platforms.”

The first tool Denuvo is offering Switch developers is Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection, which Denuvo says is a “revolutionary technology that protects games released on Switch from piracy.” This new technology could be applied to Switch games, preventing them from running on PC emulators. “Even if a game has anti-piracy protection on its PC version, its version released on Switch may be run on PC through an emulator on day one, thereby bypassing the strong protection on the PC version”, the company said.

According to Denuvo, “By preventing unauthorized emulators from running, studios can increase their revenue during the game’s release window, which is the most important time for monetization. Nintendo Switch emulator protection will ensure that anyone who wants to play the game can A legal copy must be purchased. As with all other Denuvo solutions, this technology integrates seamlessly into the build toolchain without compromising the gaming experience. Also allows for checks to be inserted in the code, preventing games on emulators.”

Nintendo has been cracking down on Switch emulators on PC. It is noticed that in May of this year, the company sent multiple DMCA takedown requests to software hosting service GitHub, requesting the removal of Lockpick, a homemade tool designed to enable users to play Switch games on emulators.

In May of this year, the Switch Android emulator Skyline team also announced that it had received a DMCA takedown notice from Nintendo because of its use of Lockpick. The Skyline team chose to stop the development of its simulator “due to potential legal risks involved”.
