Topic: A list of physical releases with zero post-patching.

@ophone
Yeah, you most likely have the rev002 cartridge then, which is technically content complete with all the DLC in place, but not accessible without the eShop data that securely confirms you've bought it.

So it's clear that different revisions of a game will has the same serial, but might not have any visible change on the cartridge itself?
I'm looking at the back of a handful of Switch cartridges nearby, and they have a printed ID, most of which end in 000, but some ending in 001, or in the case of my Ring Fit Adventure cartridge, it ends 005.
The exact ID is AL3PA41B005. This might be a unique serial for each manufactured cartridge, but the last few digits might indicate what revision it is?

Does your EU BotW cart have a serial on the back ending in 002?

No, it ends with 003.

@ophone
Huh, maybe that indicates you have a rev003 cartridge that hasn't been dumped or documented yet?

I just found this site which is worth a look, it lists what could be every switch game (I haven't taken a count to be sure) with:-

1. Current version
2. Release date of patch
3. Comments

For some games the current version column has "Unpatched" in brackets, if you discount the Neo Geo , Arcade Archives and Sega Ages games, there are 122 which are unpatched, but I don't know how many are digital only.

The comments column contains a comment about the physical version number for some games.

Aggelos
Another World
Battle Chef Brigade
Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon
Bomb Chicken
Broken Age
Cat Quest
Caveman Warriors

@MarioBrickLayer
That reminds me, checking through titles on my Switch seeing what could be updated, I saw that the version number for West of Loathing is v1.11.11.11.11.
They even managed to squeeze a joke into the version number, that's brilliant.

Go Vacation and Penny-Punching Princess are 100% on cart (EU). Not a single update ever.

@SKTTR
That reminds me, Kitaria Fables had an update yesterday, to v1.01.
It's a 524MB update, which also updates the home screen icon to match the expected product art.

It's a long weekend, I'll try to touch up the list a bit on Monday.

I believe Destroy All Humans will have to be pulled from the list, I read it got an update recently.

@Magician
Again, rather than maintaining a list of just games with no updates, it would be better to list the known status of as many games as possible, and have a column that just flags if a game has never been updated or not.

@Magician @RupeeClock I think someone has already done this! Have a look at this link:-

Have a look a bit further up this page to my posts from the 19th August.

@RupeeClock Certainly worth considering, but it would be quite the task maintaining a catalogue of all the Switch physical releases and their various updates, if any. Meanwhile, probably less than 20% of physical releases are content-complete on cartridge. In addition to that, I'm not sure how we'd discern between which updates are just added content (largely unnecessary for the game to function absent of the update servers) or a serious patch without which the cartridge wouldn't function.
