added Switch
The Wii U is easily hackable even on the latest firmware and does not even require permanent software mods to install or boot installed games. Simply accessing the homebrew launcher via the browser exploit is enough to get to installing and playing (but requires a wifi connection and can be unreliable. More permanent CFW hacks can be done by installing Haxchi, though this requires the legitimate purchase of a DS VC game). Through the use of injectors, you can install Wii and Gamecube games directly to your Wii U home menu. Injection of Wii homebrew apps is also possible, allowing you to install Nintendont to your Wii U home menu directly and therefore play GameCube games via Nintendont without any vWii modding (though launching Nintendont requires CFW to be running, and therefore Haxchi is recommended but not technically necessary). See [https://wiiu.hacks.guide/ the guide] for more details on accessing homebrew, and [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wiivc-injector-script-gc-wii-homebrew-support.483577/ this thread] for details on injection.

An exploit was found early in the Switch's launch which not only made it vulnerable but [https://www.ktemkin.com/faq-fusee-gelee/ multiple NVIDIA Tegra devices] also. Since then Nintendo has released patched versions of the Switch which are currently "unhackable" at the moment. You can find out if it's been patched by [https://gbatemp.net/threads/switch-informations-by-serial-number-read-the-first-post-before-asking-questions.481215/ the serial number]. Be warned that you will be at risk of being permanently banned, especially if try and pirate games, after hacking your Switch.
[https://sx.xecuter.com SX Pro by Team Xecuter] (~$60) - A dongle that launches custom firmware and attaches to the charging port of the Switch. Useful for launching backups and homebrew applications. It works on any Switch that hasn't been patched or was released before June 2018.
[https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere Atmosphère] - CFW for the Switch. Currently supports firmware up to 4.1.0, though an exploit has been found for firmware 4.2.0-7.0.1 no usable code has been released for it. [https://switch.homebrew.guide/index This guide] appears to be the easiest to follow to install CFW.
Switch hacking is still being worked on, so be sure to stay up-to-date on any new information.
