data miner’OatmealI looked at what’s going on behind the scenes in version 18.0.0 and it seems… Bad word list has been updated.. The following were also mentioned:
“[Nintendo Switch Firmware Update] 18.0.0 is now available. Almost all system components have been updated. This is normal for major updates where the entire operating system is rebuilt with a new SDK version
If we hear anything else, we’ll let you know. This latest update follows version 17.0.1, which was released in December last year.
