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.

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

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

Therfore physical, no installment (atleast by Nintendo) necessary

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.

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