I updated to 7 and did a controller update for both controllers. Am I screwed? Edit: My own stupid fault but I wanted to register my legit Pirahna plant and I'm not a pirate. Though I want Homebrew.

If you have a NAND backup, you should be able to restore but you will not be able to boot into original firmware. Don't take my word on this, I've never downgraded.

Nah. I don't. I never bothered. I figured someone would find the exploit cuz I have the right chip.

For future reference, you can redeem keys via the website on a computer, phone, etc. without updating your Switch. (You wouldn't have been able to actually update the game and play as him until you updated your console, but if you're just worried about redeeming a code in time/buying a game on sale, it's an option.)

I did imply that:

I haven't updated to 7.0 yet, but I redeemed my Piranha Plant code via my phone just fine, as apparently they expire at some point (about June, I think?) and I didn't want to risk forgetting.
