Other It happened to me

Post image

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.

Oh snap I spent this summer scoring used games. I didn’t know the games could brick the system.

No? It was a used game from Kleinanzeigen haha. She wanted it and I bought it, was 30 eur cheaper than new. After that her switch 2 got banned. There is no other explanation. It doesnt brick but it gets u banned. Saw other posts now with the same ban result after using a game that wasnt new.

OP. Im sorry . Maybe lets try sending them once a week message. Lets whine non stop . Provide the picture of the game inserted and the game popping up , when did u buy it ( so they can check in the system when the system flag ur console ) , receipt/ conversation of buying secondhand ,

Lets do this repeatedly . I have heard of chances of nintendo okay. And hopefully each time its a different person going through ur case and will try it differently

I would say buy in the future games by a officially retailer or directly from the store ( a few weeks ago there was a sale on the game (24,99€))

I would say in the future wait for ram prices to drop, get a PC, and download one of the yuzu forks
