Nintendo patches a Switch 2 jailbreak exploit after reports that the system could be hacked using SmileBASIC. Nintendo Life says the “SmileBASIC 4” programming software was removed from the eShop, and that the ability to jailbreak via that route is no longer available after the latest update.
Other coverage focuses on the practical impact for people attempting to modify or dump games. My Nintendo News reports that a patched system update (Version 23.5.0) blocks the prior exploit and prevents dumping and modding again. Kotaku similarly frames the change as Nintendo shutting down the jailbreak, describing it as ending the SmileBASIC exploit.
Across outlets, the shared theme is that Nintendo takes action through both storefront and software updates, reducing the viability of previously publicized hack methods. Differences mainly relate to emphasis: some lead with what changed in the eShop, while others stress the specific update and what it blocks for users.
