Have you ever done one of these?
Nope
No, because I only have one and its already expensive enough.
Why would you say that
@THE KID OF LINK AND ZELDA *because
Yes I got free games I play offline because I'll get system ban oh wait I already did because I wanted to. Nintendo Online sucks. Playing a 1st party Nintendo games online sometimes lags a lot. Nes and Super Nintendo games line up is ok, but using Homebrew can open that and have more options. You can play online still using a mod can hide your're serial number. I could've of done that, but I was like nah. I don't play online. Its fine
Also using cheat codes in some games. Even the new Pokemon sword and Shield have some stuff at max and Infinite 0
its easy to "break the region lock" because there is no region lock... you could import physical japanese games as well and play those

jesus christ, stop using so many emojis
@@CG-ej8nu talking to a ghost bot eh?
"It's astonishingly easy to break the Nintendo Switch region lock"
Yeah... That's because the system isn't region locked you mook.
Yeah I was facepalming there too
Lmao
This channel is total garbage
ikr... Also you don't even need a second account, all you have to do is go on Nintendo website login with your profile and change region and State. 🤦♂️
Most of these videos are stupid and not even true
how is making a custom gamecube shell ''hacking?''
Brooke Dawson true doe
Brooke Dawson@ or a single piece of plastic
He means like life hacks
A second definition of hacking is physically changing something. That’s what they’re doing right there
They did hook up the Game Cube controller ports to work with the Switch... that's pretty cool, and I'm not really that into the Switch.
I don't even know why I'm watching videos about it.
Hacker: This is art
The art: *Windows XP on a Nintendo switch*
XP was a decent OS, I feel it was faster and more efficient than windows 7 🤙
@@ungabunga9249 it was definitely better than vista.
@@ungabunga9249 my favorite windows OS, honestly.
@@Dreamstrangely Vista was underrated, specially on that era

Hajo Kan what do you mean one? You’re obviously a bot
Hajo Kan used for what lmao??? u ok??
@@BeatACVR ???
Rarely any of this was actual hacking, especially 3D printing a joy con holder.
I would be hard pressed to call the switch being region free ‘hacking’
It's mainstream media journalism what do you expect? Lol
The one that I used : instagiftcards .online (whithout space) 🔥
I bet the one-handed controller is especially useful when playing certain games Nintendo hasn't approved.
I'm tired so this took me a while but damn
they approve them all right
That's not XP running on the switch, that's just virtualization software handled by a Linux host. It doesn't have native input directly to the VM os.
Death trooper He’s right, though. I run QEMU on my own system for creating safe, virtual environments for me to break things in (I’m a software developer) without affecting my actual system. QEMU includes tons of routines that emulate whole systems (processors, RAM, GPU, the whole shebang). Most of the time, those virtual systems never see your actual hardware. This would definitely be the case here unless the guy knows Windows XP kernel development and wrote Windows drivers for the Joycons.
@@christophernugent8492 tostitos are the most common kernel development
That’s deep
Actually Atmosphere doesn’t really install anything on the console itself. You can easily revert to stock and trade it in if you want.
Yea to me it also sounded like he had no Idea how CFW for the switch works... (to run that you firstly have to Jailbreak your Switch etc... 😂)
They didn't virtualize the switch's hardware, they were already on a switch, they virtualized generic pc hardware, to be able to run xp, and also an x86 cpu, while the switch uses an arm Tegra X1
Man, how weird is it that hackers went onto the eshop and bought games and spent a lot of money?
So weird, right?
Some of these aren’t even hacker hacks. Some of them are life hacks (example: accessing google via menu and internet settings messing) and others are things people have made (example: GameCube into a Switch doc, device for holding two Joy Cons in one hand).
Why did you call playing any region games on your Nintendo Switch hacking? The Nintendo Switch is region free. If you did a video about Nintendo 3DS hacks hackers have done and put playing any region Nintendo 3DS title on your (for example) American Nintendo 3DS, that would be different. The Nintendo 3DS is region locked, the Switch isn’t.
While you might not need a Japanese account on your Switch to play physical Japan Nintendo Switch titles, you’ll need a Japanese account to access the Japan Switch eShop. You might need a Japan account to update Japan physical Switch titles.
The video title is quite misleading.
I agree with your opinion with the video title being misleading. The Nintendo Switch is region free which means you can play games from anywhere in the world. (Example: you could have an American user and buy a physical game and play it on your American account and it would still work)
And this is why I never watch TheGamer
Life hacks arnt real
maybe they'll give you some of the check for this video then
The second “hack” isn’t even a hack
These guys are becoming the five minute crafts of gamimg
Most of these Require Jailbreaking the switch, not just running android, Windows XP too, and how is the 3d print something that hackers did? this goes way out of the definition of hacking.. do you guys even do research? or are you trying to become the next 5 minute crafts but for gaming?
you don't understand that the video is 10min long exactly?
@@retroke6560 what does video length have to do with false information?
@@furball_vixie the green
The GameCube dock could've been perfect if this guy made GameCube Nintendo switch controllers
dat be true tom nook
also IM NEVER PAYING BELLS TO YOU
@@TheMonaamohammed Frick you say I'll make you regret that crap the next time your log on
he's so annoying
"awww i want to install windows xp on the switch!"
The 0 second mark seems to indicate 3d printing equals to hacking, also the video is 10 minutes, which i wouldn't trust.
I had a caller call into tech support at my work having trouble with our app.
After asking them a bunch of troubleshooting questions I asked their device OS and Model thinking it was a phone and the guy said "funny story about that" he was calling in trying to use our app on his switch.
I'm actually glad that there isn't a browser on the switch cause I personally feel that the 3ds and Wii u got a LOT of browser use in comparison to games
One of the main reasons the web browser was hidden is because of nintendo having a long history of poorly coding them. There have been a number of browser/webkit exploits that allow hackers to run homebrew, which nintendo doesn't like it when their systems are exploited in any way, even for just userland.
"it's always nice having more options" haha
Nice vid. I think you may have to look at the compressor settings on your audio. I think it may be clicking? Maybe it's just me. I dunno...
Imagine GeForce now on the android thing
0:18...the switch doesn't have region lock...
4:55 it’s fake the joy cons are connecting
Jay Mac 22 actually when connecting joy cons to another device e.g computer and android (not iPhone) they do that symbol to make sure you know what ur doing
You can actually Bluetooth them to a computer at hone
Home
Because when you connect a joy con to a phone or pc that happen
@@Creatic58 t
Why would you need to search something on food with your switch when you have a whole entire phone 🤦🏾♂️
Loving George Ezra in the background
The ONLY reason I have not bought a Switch is the lack of web browser. Other than that it's pretty hard to sit back and not buy one
2:55 uh- eh- umm...
It’s very easy to mod your switch lol, it makes everything so much better. The only downside to it is that only switches before a certain date can be modded, but it adds so much more replayability to any game.
how is done ?? i wanna mod mine
@@kayodesteele9130 did you buy it in 2018 or before?
@@savakujundzicyeah 2017
@@kayodesteele9130 well you have to flash a software on an SD card and touch some pins on the switch and that's basically it there are tutorials on the ut
With the Switch being so much like a tablet, why can't they com up with a method of locating it like a tablet. People that accidentally leave their Switch somewhere and someone else lifting it, would be nice to find the person who has it.
#3 is easily bypassed: nintendo Eshop cards. it does leave the remaining balance of unspent funds vulnerable but atleast no credit card is compromised.
1:15 nintendo could fix fix those vulnerabilities by reading the thing that the hacker wrote
Hey the scrabble letter holder lolz
Hacker: *getting my account and trying to buy games*
My account and my friends account: hehe there ain’t a credit card in there
6:29 what about Pokemon Lets Go Eevee/Pikachu?
I thought I was going to see the Pokemon hacks and your video.
They should have warned us of them drifty joycons😊
Yeah instead of making an oled screen on the new switch they could’ve fixed the joy cons
2:58 john doe was a ROBLOX account
SMH
Well hi robot
John Doe is an example email.

Hi nice video dude!
This video is further proof that modding the Switch is pretty pointless
I got a advert about why you should choose Nintendo e-shop while watching
After they talked about Nintendo e-shop hacking
0:40, what game is that??
Damn it’s real easy to say “hackers”
4:01 My man sounds like Courage the Cowardly Dog lmao
This video is called 10 Weird Things Hackers have done, not 10 ways to hack your switch! ☠️
"so that other people could exploit them" Why not patch those vulnerabilities and thank the hackers for bringing it to attention? Oh yeah, its Nintendo.
Is it easy to get banned if I jailbreak my nintendo?
You don't have to break a GameCube there's thousands of shells lying in people's bedrooms because they made Portables or something, there's nowhere near enough people to buy them so they're cheap.
Wii U on other regions?
What the heck is that switch in the thumbnail? An advanced switch lite?
Uh there is a Windows 10 ap wich basicly is the original space cadet 3d with minor changes to the screen next to the field but the field itself is just the same...
What's that thing on the side making contact with 2 points lmfao
When I buy from Itunes or Playstation Store, I first buy their gift cards at Walmart.
Bro I love your vids!
finally! someone that dose NOT critisise the video!
TECHSPEX
What’s so bad about criticizing.
Like tbh they only did 10 to reach the 10 minute mark to get the ad revenue
U can use google on the 3ds I did it and I watched CZcams because my phone was dead :)
I shouldn't have given this channel a second chance. It's WatchMojo for gamers.
Windows XP is a good OS not a “OH GOD NOO” thing
4:58 I think I recognize that game..
You can download Windows 10 on Switch using a specific DNS server and a program
A little bit before 5:55 is where he's wrong. There are 2 versions of the switch a patch unit and an unpatched unit. The unpatched units are the ones people are after for because no matter how much you updated the console you can still always be softmodded, and to tell the difference is by serial number. Redbox switches aka codename mariko yeah that's a lost cause and the switch lite is a no go cause non-removable joycons. The patched units are the only ones that are firmware dependant on softmodding.
6:35 exept the lets go pokemon games
*Shigeru Miyamoto wants to know your location*
8:34 whats that game called?
I Have One Question. How Much Ram Does A Nintendo Switch Have?
probably like 1GB
JK it's 4GB
Can't wait till they get homebrew on Switch Lites, red box Switches and old patched Switches
Next is a way to instantly change the parental lock pin
2:00 Thats not a hack thats a mod
How can do it
Game cube one should exist
How does the GameCube hacking?
The internet was what got the Wii U cracked open. They removed it from Switch for that reason.
I just want someone to mod my Wii U to play hacks/homebrews.
Though I like the Switch's cartridge format, the Switch and games are way too expensive for me, and those JoyCon things are awful.
Same
@@quantum4cola395 Thank you. I'll be 36 next month (God willing 😃). People make it sound like I'm Amish or something because the most modern system I own is the Wii U.
There are more than enough games on systems prior to Switch, PS4 and Xbox One to keep me busy for probably several lifetimes (even in quarantine times, which I have been working mandatory overtime during).
If only I watched this video before yesterday lmao, my account got hacked yesterday morning and they bought $200 of V-bucks (almost $300 but paypal sent a text asking if it was me on the last transaction). Thankfully support was very helpful in getting a refund 💙
3D printing isn't necessarily hacking but ok
lol true
The 2DS has the internet in it
can you make a video on weirdest things wii hacker have done
I could see people playing Splatoon songs in Labo VR
I love switch and PC but wow
For everyone in the comments saying "Duhh there is no region lock". He's specifically talking about the e-store and downloading games, not physical cartridges from other regions
I made a super nes nintendo dock the eject button for the cart ejects the switch and all lol
My Nintendo dsi can search web too
I'm only watching this video because someone took the time to create a me character and add him to my list, but they did all this while I'm offline? How do I get rid of it?
if the switch just had a web browser that you can get without hacks then the switch would be the best console ever made
Dammmn that’s an expensive game 8:44
I mean yeah, it's like 85 USD.
Number 11: Copied PlainRock and accualy broke their switch.
They also might’ve helped Nintendo into patching the network
I still believe that the switch pro will come out, I’m desperate.
cant wait for a more powerful switch with better CPU to run games like FORTNITE better.
Wow, I hate the way they name things
Can it run doom tho?
Wait there is someone who made gamecube joy cons so what if you put gamecube joy cons on the Nintendo switch in the gamecube dock?
Everyone who watches Zero: THAnks TheGAMeR
So your telling me that I can play Minecraft dungeons on the switch right this instant?
Yes but it’s illegal if you hack it
Nice video
Legends Says They May Be Still Hacking.
In Brazil there is no console eshop
Wait what ive been meaning to get a switch are you sure there is no eshop
That's strange. I would recommend making a new user (google how to do it) and make the region "Amarica". Thanks for reading.
What if someone used their switch to get the Android os and got a switch emulator
