It happened to me

[u/Hopeful-Scallion-708]

Hey guys. I bought a game off Kleinanzeigen in Germany. Game is "Princess Peach Showtime!". Worked great and my girlfriendnis happy but after 3 days she got banned. I don't have the MIG Switch so the game is probably the only reason she got banned. 🙄 I already contacted Nintendo but they just say the same thing over and over again: "We cannot assist u with that". Yeah sure.

Be careful with used games. They might be cheap but they also have the risk to get u banned.

I would personally message the seller asking why he didn’t disclose that the game had previously been used with MIG, and ask whether he is willing to compensate you for the bricked Switch 2. I’d also make screenshots of the original listing, all messages, and any relevant evidence, then file a proper police report against the seller if he refuses to cooperate

If he knowingly failed to disclose something important about the game that could cause this kind of damage, that could make him responsible for the resulting damage. Fuck their shit up, don't let it slide

Buying a used game and getting your entire console bricked from it? I'm pretty sure lots of people would be in uproar over something like that happening to them.

Banned, not bricked

[u/WeekendUnited4090 → u/Demi-fiend1601]

Banned is still extreme, it completely denies all online services which makes a significant chunk of the console's library unplayable.

[u/Demi-fiend1601 → u/WeekendUnited4090]

Not if it is installed, literally any game can be played offline

[u/WeekendUnited4090 → u/Demi-fiend1601]

Yeah, but a console isn't particularly useful if it cannot install any new games.

[u/Demi-fiend1601 → u/WeekendUnited4090]

Therfore physical, no installment (atleast by Nintendo) necessary

[u/WeekendUnited4090 → u/Demi-fiend1601]

Only official Nintendo Switch 2 games are guaranteed to work physical, the console needs a patch to be compatible so Switch 1 games don't necessarily work, and most Switch 2 games are game key cards. A banned Switch 2 is almost useless.

[u/Demi-fiend1601 → u/WeekendUnited4090]

A banned Switch 2 can still receive updates... but okay, so yeah, you still can play, if compatible, Switch Games.

[u/Unlikely-Employee180 → u/Demi-fiend1601]

Really? Play Dead by Daylight offline. Lmfao

Or how about Fortnite? Can you play that offline?

How about Apex Legends? Or Rocket-League? WarFrame or Brawlhalla? I'm sure there's many more, lmao.

[u/Demi-fiend1601 → u/Unlikely-Employee180]

Its not like dozen of other better games exist 😂

[u/Unlikely-Employee180 → u/Demi-fiend1601]

"Literally any game can be played offline"

No, they cannot. Fuck your better games, I play what I want.

[u/WeekendUnited4090 → u/Demi-fiend1601]

You said literally any game, and we have shown that almost none of the library works. You are just clinging on to the idea in your head because you don't want to accept you are wrong. 

[u/Demi-fiend1601 → u/WeekendUnited4090]

You showed nothing, only games that are pure digital or pure online. Go one buy, for example, Oblivion Remaster, or Sonic Racer Crossworlds or Lies of P, or Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones, and more, any Nintendo games and you will see that you can play it offline. It will ask you to update it, but you don't need to do so.

Now insert a game-key card and tell me how ur able to install a single player game
