I haven't worked in game console hacking since the Wii days, but I'm getting a Switch day one to do just that. I can't wait to be able to use this as a hackable game tablet and be able to throw it on the dock to play emulated games on the TV.

I really haven't seen anything like this before. I'm super excited to break it.

Edit: For those interested in working on this or following along, I created a Discord server for collaboration. Invite link: https://discord.gg/hSMpnuG

I'm excited about this too, esoecially after the recent boom in /r/3dshacks and /r/vitahacks

Hopefully it won't take long for a jailbreak to emerge.

Why not just do that with the Wii U then ?
