Be aware this is Gary opa - same guy behind Gateway 3DS - expect piracy and a $100 dongle, and little homebrew so this isn't really good news honestly, maybe he became less of a fuck but I doubt it though.

CFW coming to ALL Switch consoles (Team Xectuer, probably piracy only)

Kind of doubt it. For whatever reason, all of Nintendo's recent consoles have been far easier to hack, even without any hardware modification, than all of their counterparts. I was astonished at how easy it was to install custom firmware or to sideload homebrew apps on the Wii U.
Anyway, we'll see where this goes. I would love to see modifications for the Switch that would allow it to run various homebrew apps like emulators. It might become a very worthwhile system if that's the case.
Source? Team Xecuter said in their forum theyre not revealing if its a soft or hardmod
Lack of region lock on Switch removes a lot of the use-case for rooting it, but if there gets to be a community-supported exploit (like B9S on 3DS) I'd probably install it just to have better control over my saves and the ability to dump my games/extract assets from them.
If this is just a piracy enabler like Gateway, then whatever. Not really interested.

Can someone give a bit more background? Why is this guy/whatever this is bad? How is this different than, say, the Homebrew Channel on the Wii?
Asking out of ignorance.

They are known for their hardmods. The 3ds guys haven't found anything this big so I doubt someone else would. It's most likely a modchip.
I was hyped but then not hyped. One of the biggest things I want from CFW would be shit like a web browser and some cool tablet style app things (maybe even a port of Osu!). Would also be nice to backup my physical games seeing as I for some reason bought a big SD card despite still buying physical because of how much cheaper physical games are here.
EDIT: Oh, and of course I'd want homebrew for emulators. I loooooove my CFW 3DS with a bunch of my roms running via Virtual Console injection.
Me too!
If he can do it then it wont be long for the rest of the scene can catch up. Playing panzer dragoon on switch would feel good.
"Probably piracy only"
Selling a lot of switches means nothing if people are buying them to steal games
It would be insane if we had access to some sort of Virtual Console before the actual launch of the Virtual Console.
.
I'm betting that video is just a youtube video using the web browser trick.
I hope its a software mod via the sdcard slot. I hate the hacks that require buying a piece of tech from some sketchy chinese site.
Also say goodbye to online games if this gets broken wide open. Sucks for Mario Kart and the rumored Dark Souls and Mario Maker games :/

This is gonna be like Gateway where it becomes obsolete in three months, right? Anyway, they're trying to sell people on "ANY FW VERSION" and then they'll tell you that you have to buy their proprietary bullshit that will become useless when somebody outdoes them.
Basically they are really at the beginning of actual homebrew and only on older pre-odyssey firmware.
But they are trying to do something everyone can do it, homebrew style.
These dudes are more modchips/flashcards kind of guys
The only reason I watched CFW was for region locking(which isn't a problem anymore), and I guess eventually for games that aren't localized and get fan translated... but piracy only? meh.
Did you see a different video to me? I don't remember hearing that quote. People who pirate weren't going to buy anyway.
Say goodbye to online games, how so? My last Nintendo console was a Gamecube so I'm not really in the loop when it comes to Nintendo + online.
Is video game piracy as relevant as it used to be nearly a decade ago?
I would imagine that video game piracy was relatively easy because of the small size of DS and PSP ROMs and such.

Why's that? I still played Monster Hunter 3U, Splatoon and a number of other Wii U games after it got broken open about as wide as any console could be, and there was no serious issues there from what I could see.
Hackers. Mario Kart was a shitshow on Wii and WiiU
Pokemon online on handhelds sucks because of hackers
Mario Maker is ruined now because of WiiU hacks.
Animal Crossing wii and 3ds, you could literally lock a person game by placing a house on a certain block in game.
Yeah, can't wait for dumbass to ruin online play like the whole nightmare it is to play MK 8 online on Wii U.
Piracy isn't a good news AT ALL on a early released console.
It is NOT a good news.
Enjoy your shit :

Damn this seems like a harsh stance. Why should anyone care if you're not interested in homebrew? Not like it's your console.
Edit: so online play is the concern? If Nintendo ever gets a paid network up I doubt they'll put up with hackers.
This is a bogus claim until they show something, I don't even know why people fall for such blatant marketing stunts.
Also, please stop fearmongering the online. There is no solution to the public keys on the Switch, one ban and your Switch is gone from their servers permanently.
Given this piss-poor marketing nonsense, they're probably intending to drum up excitement for an expensive and unstable-as-fuck hardmod.

I just want emulation of the Nintendo games I've bought 14 times on every console. Let me play LTTP, CT, and all the SNES, NES classic games on my Switch
Not true? 3ds you can change a small file easily and get around it. Nintendo's ban system is a joke.
For everyone complaining about how it will 'ruin online' : Would you not petition Nintendo to ban hackers? Every console and platform has hackers, none more than PC but with detection and player reporting it isn't an issue. Why would Nintendo not put in any effort here?
