[UP: Probably Fake] Rumor: Video of Switch Firmware Version 5.0 Surface

[Deleted member 864]

Damn, would've been amazing if true.

 

[Effect]

Hope it's real. This has been really needed!

Edit: Damn. Would have been nice if it was real. :(

 

[Deleted member 249]

I have no official stance personally. This guy just makes a logical point.

I just wish this was real :(

 

[Majiebeast]

Fake

 

[Llazy]

Nice way to set up huge disappointment for the next Direct.

Dont worry it will be hype

Well that was fast...

Under 30 minutes, and the rumor gets debunked.

[LoyalPhoenix]

If fake: how does someone fake this?!

If real: how the hell does this get leaked?!

Click to shrink...

Could be just a video with good edits.

With a camera

:P

 

[Uno Venova]

Guys, I mean come on, lol.

 

[SalvaPot]

lol

[Joqu]

Yeah I just read that cloud logo thing. This, the usernames and the youtube logo are pretty suspect I'd say.

Spoiler

But still, I want to believe so badly :(

I hate math now.

This. Ignore the tweet. HYPE RESTORED

Click to shrink...

Gamexplain hasn't made a video about it yet so it's 100% fake.

Don't do this to yourself. That's the epitome of grasping at straws. It's clear that this is fake, from the inconsistent storage usage to the outdated YouTube icon.

 

[Jahranimo]

Super duper fake y'all

 

[Skittzo]

I guess I don't recall seeing that cloud (I have a few games archived) but yeah if so then nevermind.

The YouTube icon proves nothing, it could just be a placeholder in a beta state. The storage issue does.

 

[Reinhard]

Obvious fake with the YouTube logo and Mario Kart not taking up enough storage. Plus, I don't think Nintendo is stupid enough to include a full web browser due to exploit potential.

 

[Bigg]

Yeah there was no way this was real.

Too good to be true, plus why would the dude not blur out the test name? If it was real Nintendo could've easily traced it and he would have been possibly litigated for breaking NDA.

 

[Mark H]

Bbbbut, Nintendo could magically shrink MK8D size with the new update, right!?

 

[Dinjoralo]

Click to shrink...

Yup, it's fake.

 

[Plankton2]

Conspiracy theory nintendo posted this themselves

 

[AkimboChainz]

To those saying games still show up if you delete them, I just deleted a game and it disappeared.

EDIT: I'm a dummy who didn't know what archiving was :P

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm going with "too good to be true" stance for now.

 

[VanWinkle]

I want to believe so hard.

But I cannot.

 

[Nintex]

For testing it seems you can just throw in whatever Icon you like. Nintendo used the NSMBU one.

Regarding the cloud/cartridge or empty cartridge icon, that's not really necessary for testing software

 

[Deleted member 3017]

Oh well. Pretty good fake regardless.

 

[BoTalksGames]

I thought it was weird how Odyssey and Zelda didn't show up in the chatroom creation menu.

Click to shrink...

If it's real it'd make sense if they only had online games. I'm more surprised at the lack of Pokken Tournament DX but considering it doesn't even have video recording yet I guess it wouldn't be included.

 

[Alaxend0l]

Maybe Nintendo could watch this video and take notes? It looks fantastic, even if it's fake.

thank you

We didn't even need to examine the trees this time.

You can change user names at any time.

If you archive it rather than delete it it will stay.

'Archive' a game and the icon stays

The video explicitly shows the cartridge icon, it makes no sense to not show the cloud icon if it shows the cartridge one. It can't be one or the other lol.

 

[Neiteio]

It's remarkable that for as detailed as this fake was, it didn't take into account the file sizes

 

[Kaizer]

Shame that it's fake, all of the features in the video should already be standard facets of the Switch.

 

[Kouriozan]

Let's see, if the video mysteriously disappear, then it's legit lol

 

[Jessie]

Why would you go through that much effort for 5 minutes of laughs?

 

[Smiles]

For a Firmware test the real game probably wouldn't be on there but just a dummy icon.

Nintendo had New Super Mario Bros. U logo's for their first version of the Switch firmware (Which also appeared in the SDK manual)

Click to shrink...

this is a harder path to believe, but I like it

 

[LoyalPhoenix]

you have to archive it. A cloud will appear tho signaling you have to redownload so it doesnt matter.

 

[Richietto]

I wish. Would be a great start to the year.

Professional amateurs.

 

[Atheerios]

A possibility is that this is a debugging unit and the titles are actually dummy titles. Just the icon to add content to the menu.

Just like the multiple noatest account. Also see how both MK8DX and ARMS support the lobby system, but they would need updates to do so.

 

[Llazy]

this is a harder path to believe

Click to shrink...

believe it to be true

 

[Captain of Outer Space]

Folders would be huge. I'm still waiting on Xbox One to add that.

 

[Deleted member 249]

If nothing else, the video shows us how the Switch UI's simplicity might be maintained while additional features are added.

 

[SuperFakerBros]

If it really is fake, that was one very convincing fake. Honestly looked legit

 

[Regiruler]

The theme doesn't have audio?

That's disappointing enough to be true.

 

[Joqu]

Huh, the youtube account is called NOATEST #063 too?? That's a... bizarre name to leak your shit with innit
