1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Idea:
Can you return it if is dead? Or displaying on screen something like, software was modified, warranty void,?
It gives error only when you try to login, the inspector would need to create an account and login. Possible but they barely do "it turns on, it works, can be resold", it takes too much time, Amazon many times just disposes perfectly fine stuff just because they don't want to pay $5 for someone to check it
I seriously doubt Amazon has improved its systems since that Motorcycle guy bought a 6 thousand dollar camera and got a box of rocks...twice.
edit
Correctino, 6 thousand dollar camera
For such a short timeframe you can return it because you just don't want it anymore
the MIG Flash (formerly MIG-Switch) is a specialized, reprogrammable cartridge that's designed to mimic a real Nintendo Switch cartridge, but allows you to store your own game ROMs or backups on its microSD card. This essentially enables you to hold multiple game copies on a single cartridge, letting you conveniently switch between them with the help of a button.
Which is ideal for someone who is constantly on the go/traveling/etc and don't want to risk losing all their carts. Just dump'm, put them on one flash cart, and have all your games in one thing you never have to take out of your console.
You know, like the kinda of people the switch is geared towards
Nintendo gonna Nintend
Road to hell is paved with good Nintentions
Correction:
It's not the account that's banned. It's the device that's banned. You can factory reset the Switch 2, completely wiping all data, and it will remain banned. This means that none of the games you've purchased legally will function, as cartridges no longer contain games and Nintendo's services are required to play them.
It essentially becomes a useless flat tile.
As a British citizen I am starting to get ideas. The following is about distance selling which includes online sales.
You must offer a refund to customers if they’ve told you within 14 days of receiving their goods that they want to cancel. They have another 14 days to return the goods once they’ve told you.
Is it still usable as in it boots?
Because then it's a prime piracy machine because it will never get patched again.
From what I've seen from the videos of people with banned Switch 2s:
Yes, it still boots.
There are active discussions already going on on GBATemp.net about Switch 2 bans and whatnot. I'd keep an eye on that forum to see how things develop.
It's not useless. You can still sell it to people without telling them about the ban then ghost them
looks up from steam deck
wait what?
Pretty sure Valve encourage people to do fun things with their steam deck. You want to run some custom OS on it? Go ahead!
Looks up from one of my hacked switches which are not banned
Heh, someone (the banned person) wasn't paying attention.
PC gaming just need a solid Mario Kart alternative and every other genre are covered.
Every Mario Kart except World is playable on PC...but of course the online is far more limited since the pool of players is much, much smaller.
Fuck Nintendo. No other company has as much active distain for their fans. And the damage they’ve done to game preservation is immeasurable.

Pretty sure Apple does.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here.
Apple is the company that brought us:
Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.
Don't forget the thousand dollar basic monitor stand. Or the assumption that their users were too stupid to understand multiple mouse buttons until like the mid 00s. Or making a mouse that was completely round (still with one button) so you'd have to look at it to be sure it's oriented correctly, though I guess that one was more bad design than lack of respect for their users.
Oh yeah. And the rechargeable mouse that needs to be flipped upside down to charge simply because the designers hated the idea of people leaving it plugged in constantly. Or the Mac Pro wheels that cost almost as much as an entire handheld PC.
Thar list is the lite version that doesnt include all the times theyve blocked open standards so their users can't interact with non apple things.
Worse than disdain, it's hostility. Their family-friendly image is at odds with their actual actions. Going after streamers because they dare play (and publicize) your games...? What the fuck!? Their attitude literally makes me reconsider buying their console and/or games...
Going online with flash carts on a new console is certainly a choice. The first Switch already hardware banned for doing that, so this isn't new.
I know people that got their Nintendo DS banned for using flash carts. This ain't new.
You sure about that? DS online was so basic that they actually didn't have the capability to do bans back then.
Yah, definitely not DS or DS lite. Playing online with pirated games on a hacked 3DS MAYBE, but certainly not flash carts.
That said, I hacked my N3DSXL AGES ago so I could back up my Monster Hunter saves in case something ever happened before XX was released and I could transfer my data, played online a shit ton (with my R4DS in the cart slot) and was never banned.
Yes, but it was only a few games when they were played/used on flashcarts before the game released :p
Happened with phantasy star zero iirc
It was also not nintendo's choice but the game devs. So it was game bound, not console bound
Despite the fearmongering going around about bricks, this is only online bans. Same thing they've always done, same thing Sony and Microsoft do too if you get caught there.
Frankly, if you try to go online with pirated games, you're an idiot.
Also it's impossible to make legal backups with the Mig flash. Yes backups for personal use are legal, but under the DMCA bypassing the DRM is not legal. And the Mig flash is seen as a DRM circumvention device. And before y'all come at me no i don't agree with this but Nintendo probably has the law on their side with this. Since players using the Mig are violating the EULA.
The only game series I still play from Nintendo are all on steam now I feel so smug with my steam deck :3
After 12 days, people still buy the Nintendo Switch 2, when a month earlier the price was to high for them.
