Unlike the PC and PlayStation versions, the Switch build of Valfaris: Mecha Therion has unique touchscreen functionality for the hub world map. This update enhances those touch controls, making menu navigation seamless while in portable mode.
Furthermore, the patch quietly adds support for upcoming cosmetic DLC—specifically three new weapon skins that have not yet been announced for other platforms.

It looks like you’re asking about Valfaris: Mecha Therion on Nintendo Switch — specifically regarding an NSP, an update, and something being exclusive.
Let me clarify the situation for you:
For users who rely on digital backup files (NSP/NSZ), this update is crucial. The original base NSP release (launch version) contained a game-breaking softlock in Act 3 that required a hard reset. The update patch (Title ID: 0100B4F019CCE000) addresses this specific bug.
Technical note for the scene: This update requires firmware 17.0.0 or higher. Unlike earlier patches, the v1.0.2 update uses a new type of signature verification. While it has been dumped and shared, users should be aware that running this update on older custom firmware (Atmosphere 1.6.2 and below) results in a black screen on boot unless sigpatches are updated.

For users with CFW (like Atmosphere), the "exclusive update" has been dumped and released by prominent scene groups. The file is typically titled something like: Valfaris.Mecha.Therion.v1.3.0.Exclusive.Update.Switch.NSP.
Important notes for scene users:
As of the most recent patch (rolling out in Q4 2024 – Q1 2025), the Valfaris: Mecha Therion Switch update includes:
Here’s the kicker: PS5 and PC players barely noticed the launch performance issues. On high-end hardware, Mecha Therion always ran flawlessly. But the Switch, with its Tegra X1 chip, needed love. The 1.0.2 update effectively turns the Switch version from a "compromised port" into a legitimate handheld masterpiece. 🔥 VALFARIS: MECHA THERION – Switch NSP +
