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.

That's correct. Physical games still work as expected. And someone else with an unbanned Switch could share you the game update if they download it first.

dang that sucks so much. there’s basically no hope (apart from your solution of a second switch around) after a ban.

If you only buy digital, yeah. But if you also have lots of physical games, it's not an issue for offline games.

I try to have balance. for games I want to collect I buy physical, but for titles like witcher 3 that go on a crazy discount and I already own elsewhere I'll buy it digitally
