Nintendo Releases Update For Switch (Version 14.1.2), Here Are The Details

@Caolan114 I get it, the constant stability updates can get a little droll

Ooh, I wonder what new bad words have been added. Although I still maintain that you can turn anything into an insult with the right phrasing. If you called someone a flobbertygruncher then they’d probably be offended despite that being a nonsense word.

I hope they update the bad word list to allow normal words that coincidentally contain bad words. When playing Shining Pearl, I tried to name my rival Grape (in contrast to me being Orange, of course), but the bad words list wouldn't allow it. I ended up having to use Graype.

There's a bad words list?

@N00BiSH @Caolan114 Personally I think the stability updates are the best part of the Nintendo Switch. It's exciting to see what the next stability update will have! Like the last one added more stability!

@HotGoomba Oh, don't get it twisted--I always look forward to stability updates, but I've noticed some in the stability update fandom getting a little fatigued

I CAN'T #$&%@ BELIEVE THIS #@$%! WHAT A ********ING LOAD OF [redacted]! 🤬

@N00BiSH Maybe one day Nintendo can win back the stability fanbase. Maybe with a new stability and not just an update. It'll be called STABILITY 2.

More stability!

Also is it just me or has the NA eshop been getting laggier by the update. I swear it's not my internet.

@nessisonett I really enjoy “gruncher” out of that I’m gonna take that for my own purposes.

has anyone posted the full bad word list anywhere would like to view it

Poor peoples who have name Matsushita 松下.
They cannot register their name in Romaji due to looks like bad words in English.

I agree that you can turn almost anything into swearing via phrasing. This is the kind of list that only gets larger through time.

I also agree that non-swearing words, and/or phrases containing combinations that could be interpreted as swearing, should be given a pass. Otherwise, certain legitimate words, and phrases can never be used. Nintendo likely wouldn't do this, because it would require complicated programming to take into account context of words, and phrases. (Edit: Also, said programming would inevitably be figured out, and people would be circumventing it.) An alternative would be have a person review each case, and decide if it was intentional swearing, or not. That, would require an extra paycheck, and I doubt Nintendo would go that route. Nintendo's perspective is to just target any, and all cases of certain words, and phrases

@nessisonett I am deeply offended you would say that 🤣🤣

@Anti-Matter what's the word?

@Emmerichcoal
The Shita word.
If you look it as English word, it looks like a bad word.

The list now includes:
****
****
****-****
**ups***
**oo***
and
Winnebago

I hate this as it renders a lot of innocuous words and phrases unusable by proxy. Weirdly enough, games prohibit me from using the Japanese transliteration of the English work “black”, which also happens to be the closest approximation of my first name.

Plus, it limits options in single-player games where one might be tempted to slip in a naughty word or phrase here or there (Animal Crossing and Miitopia spring to mind in that regard).

@MsMaestroon this most recent sale I’ve noticed a considerable downgrade in quality with the eshop. Kept freezing up

@Not_Soos You have been banned for speaking in all caps

@nessisonett "I do bite my thumb, sir"

@Silly_G Funny, Umbreon's Japanese name is "Blacky" which sounds maybe offensive.
I doubt Game Freak could care to fix it. I'm going to keep calling Totodile's final evoluation "feraligatruh" if Game Freak can't care to update it to spell it how it's meant to once they expanded the name limit from 10 to 12 characters in Gen 6.

@HotGoomba Ahh, a fellow connoisseur in the stability of the switch.

@nessisonett the only one that is an flobbertygruncher here, is you!

I use other languages' bad words ha! Checkmate Nintendo!

Lol, the first comment probably contained "bad words", wich are FORBIDDEN!!

Lol a lot of posts getting removed in this thread

@TheBigK

A lot of comments get removed lately for several reasons. I guess it is needed, this site should stay friendly of course. But sometimes I wonder, won't they go to far? After all we can never see those removed comments, so we have to just coast blindly on the judgement of the mods. I hope they know what they are doing...

@RubyCarbuncle banned in China lol

How about putting a messenger and chat option inside?
And putting in the N64 and Mega Drive apps in the regular Switch Online.

@nessisonett how could you say that!

I know what the bad words are for Nintendo.

Metroid Prime Trilogy Remastered
The Legend of Zelda 3d Allstars collection
Metroid Prime 4
Super Mario Galaxy 2 HD
N64 mini
XD

@pjzx Add ROMs, Emulation, Mods, Hacks to that list.

I want Atlus and Persona on that list if there is no Persona announcement in todays Partner Direct.

@nessisonett

I've been flobbertygrunching since before you were born.

@Not_Soos lmao

@Tangerine Yeah forgot about them.

@nessisonett I worked at a deli in Ohio and we used the made up term "Baba Ghanoush Bag" instead of the obvious Douche Bag. It sounded just as bad though. Lol

@Pk-glitch I wouldn't be surprised, lol. The loophole is that I wasn't speaking, I was typing. Heheh, got 'em!

@HotGoomba From the creator of HD Rumble comes...

Aw man, my switch just fell of a skyscraper because there was no stability improvements

May we please have more rebootless updates, Nintendo? I'm sick of losing save data from having to reboot my console each update since I heavily rely on sleep mode (speaking of, is there a way you could... I don't know... further optimize power draw from the battery on the software side for sleep mode? The Switch dies too fast compared to my PS Vita, even when in sleep mode)

@HefHughner guess what...

And the last annual player survey they sent out I literally BEGGED them for it on Switch and Xbox, too. Now my friends and family have no excuses.

@nessisonett The English language has an astounding number of racial slurs and even regular words that aren't slurs but have an ethnic component to them (e.g. "jewelry", "slave").
Even the word "boy" could be taken as a slur in a specific context.
Remember that "coolest monkey in the jungle" H&M controversy? The boy and his parents were Dutch or Danish IIRC and the company is Swedish. They had no idea "monkey" could be used as a racial slur.
Then there's languages which use a variant of n-word to simply mean the color black, like Romanian (a football match was cut short because of it a while ago).

People censoring profanity will always have a job, but it will always be a hard one.

@Not_Soos You_have_been_banned_for_using_the_space_bar,_because_by_using_the_space+bar,_you_are_quoting_the_song_4'33_by_John_Cage

So what language of bad word are they referring to now? There's more then one spoken language around the world.

@Pk-glitch Every time I get an e-mail notification for one of these replies that begins with "you have been banned," my heart stops for a second before I realize it's not from a mod, lol.

Darn, no stability. Hope we get it in the next update.
