The base game was released worldwide on December 7th, 2018 (December 8th in some time zones). Due to the presence of a day 1 patch, only the physical version of the game is possible to play on 1.0.0. To access this version today, delete any game data downloaded onto the system memory or an inserted Micro SD  card. Then, turn off any internet connections and keep them off while the game is inserted and save data is on the system to avoid update notifications.
The base game was released worldwide on December 7th, 2018 at midnight local time.
 
Due to the presence of a day 1 patch, the only way to play this version digitally is to have pre-ordered and pre-loaded the game, then have disabled automatic updates, then have rejected the incoming day 1 patch update at the time of unlocking the pre-load.
 
Accessing this version today requires a physical cart and a Switch that has never downloaded any ''Ultimate'' updates since the last time it was formatted. (Therefore, accessing it on a Switch that has downloaded any ''Ultimate'' update requires formatting the console, losing save data for any other games that have not been backed up through Nintendo Switch Online.) However, newer cartridges may have updates pre-installed—with some having versions up to version [[#2.0.1|2.0.1]]—which instead makes it possible to downgrade to that pre-installed version but not to 1.0.0 or any other version.
