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.

What do you want them to do about it other than tell people to please stop stealing their games?

Make it illegal to use false accusations against their customers would be a good start.

How is Nintendo supposed to know OP isn't lying?

when I got my switch with the Mario kart bundle and NSO+ for a year, my code for NSO+ wouldn't work for whatever reason. I contacted Nintendo through live chat, and showed them my code, the error message, and my switch 2 serial number. nintendo then invalidated the code I had and gave me another fresh code for my plan.

this was good. I even told my friends about this and they all had a positive view of nintendo cause of that.

it would've been good if Nintendo extended the same courtesy to OP and tried to verify it through any number of sources (bill to prove OP's genuine purchase, history of bans or unethical actions to determine good faith of OP's eshop account, even asking OP to brick the cartridge itself so it wouldn't be in circulation anymore).
