No system has been bricked. It simply doesn't let you access the Nintendo servers. If you put in a game that doesn't require an update or access to online it will work.
And that slight difference is how they'll most likely get around most court cases.
I really don't like game covers (and movie posters) that have regular characters in the foreground and then these giants in the back, so Europe/Japan for me.
If I'm remembering my internet personalities correctly Maya has been collaborating with Ludwig and his girlfriend QT for many years now. Mango screwed up big time.

Don't buy crap on Facebook market. Pretty simple.
Re: The FBI Has Seized A Switch ROM Site As Part Of A 'Law Enforcement Operation'
Don't steal current gen games. It's simple as that.
Re: DK Bananza Devs "Needed To Know More About Donkey Kong," So They Went To Miyamoto
This is another great example of why Nintendo is smart not to get into what the others do, buy and then in time, close multiple studios.
You lose all that knowledge.
Re: Nintendo Will Discontinue Switch Game Vouchers Entirely In 2026
Never used them and know nobody that ever did. No great loss imo.

Re: Mega Man Is One Of Capcom's "Most Important IPs" Despite No New Games In 7+ Years
To quote The Brady Bunch Movie:
"Sure, Jan"
It's sad how little they do with Megaman.

My older sister has the soundtrack.
"Don't you say you love me, you don't even know me..."

Nintendo is just as bad, shuting studios and firing people... Oh wait.
Re: Talking Point: With Bigger GameCube File Sizes, Should Nintendo Let Us Download Individual NSO Games?
We want Game Cube Games!
Oh, no like that!
Re: Switch 2 Users Are Reporting Instances Of Their Consoles Overheating
"Without a fan, you can’t play for long" on modern technology? Really? 😮

Re: After Croc, Argonaut Games Wants To Remaster This N64 Cult Classic
I see that Ubisoft logo. That ain't happening.
Re: Star Fox Designer Was Relieved To Leave The "Amazing People" At Nintendo
@JohnnyMind I can already picture the click bait YouTube channels salivating at that one quote...

Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed
As bad as the update is it in no way makes it a 0 score game.
These people live sad lives.
Re: Look, Maybe We Should Stop Asking For A Sonic Adventure Remaster
Things like this is why Sega will never rise above it's current station. If people want it ported, then port it.

I really don't like game covers (and movie posters) that have regular characters in the foreground and then these giants in the back, so Europe/Japan for me.
Re: Nightdive Studios & Atari Announce Physical Edition of Remastered Turok Trilogy Bundle
I can see this costing a lot in the future. Definitely picking it up.
Re: Nintendo's President Apologises For Not Being Able To Meet Switch 2 Demand
Great sales in Japan = more Japanese designed and created games coming to the system. Which is only a good thing.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
@SplatRay001 Melee will never happen.
Re: Fantasy Life i's Success Due To Changes Made Just A Year Before Launch
The game is fantastic. Congrats to Level-5 for an awesome comeback.
Re: Fans Reckon Nintendo Has "Killed" Mario Kart World With Its Latest Update
People who post on Famiboards and have youtube channels are not the majority of people who are and will be buying it.
In fact Nintendo is probably over the moon these people don't wanna play it anymore.
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
Weird choice. Not that it matters. This game will be forgotten this time next year. Maybe even sooner.
Re: Missed Out On Castlevania Anniversary, Advance & Dominus Collection Physical Editions? Fear Not, As Pre-Orders Have Gone Live On Play-Asia
@Tasuki I've brought games coming up to 10 years with them and never had a single problem.
Re: Dbrand Admits Its Joy-Con Detachment Response Was "Spectacularly Terrible"
Even if you end up paying more this is why you sometimes should buy the genuine article, not crappy knock offs.

Re: Man Busted After Allegedly Stealing "$10,000 Worth Of Nintendo Switch Games" From Public Libraries
What a selfish assh*le. This might be the only way some people on a lower income can play a certain game.
Shame on him.
Re: Smash Bros. Pro Loses 11-Year Sponsorship After "Inappropriate Conduct" At Mario Kart World Tournament
If I'm remembering my internet personalities correctly Maya has been collaborating with Ludwig and his girlfriend QT for many years now. Mango screwed up big time.
Re: Nintendo's Strict Policy On MiG Carts Is Creating A Problem For Secondhand Switch 2 Buyers
Oh well, like with any product but from a reputable seller and you won't have this problem.
Re: Back Page: Every Game Should Have A Cow
Even Cooking Mama?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Donkey Konga 2
The spay painted 2 on the NA is eye roll worthy. Though NA is the home of "Angry Kirby" so I shouldn't be surprised.
Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"
Digital Foundry has nothing but hate for Nintendo and in 2025 is nowhere near relevant as it once was.
The way people take their opinions as gospel is pathetic.
Re: Forget Switch 2 Game Key-Cards - "Full On-The-Cart Physical Releases" Are What People Want, Says Publisher Lost In Cult
They are living in a dream world. The majority of people want games fast and now. That means not leaving the house and downloading it.
Re: Switch 2 Has Already Overtaken The Combined Lifetime Sales Of The Entire Xbox Series Family And PS5 Pro In Japan
@Mana_Knight I wish.
They just flat out lie and still are despite these numbers.
Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"
Really? Something that was released almost a decade ago and something already available on OG Switch didn't sell well?
Re: PSA: GoldenEye 007 Rip-Off Removed From The PSN Store Resurfaces On Switch eShop
I wanna see the supporting characters in this: N, R, and of course everyone's favourite: Pennymoney.
Re: Gallery: Here's What You Get In The 'Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma' Limited Edition
This is actually a good collectors edition. At least to me.
Far better than the crap Limited Run gives you for 3 times the price.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida Says Sony Doesn't Really Consider Nintendo As Competition
LOL. Don't know what world Yoshida is living in but Nintendo won Japan, there is no "versus" about it.
Re: More Than 2,800 Switch 2 Consoles Have Been Stolen From A Semi-Truck
Why would almost 3000 consoles be going to a single store?
Regardless, clearly an inside job because you would need certain info on where the best place to take them would be.
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Controversially Cuts War Of The Lions Content
Modern day Square Enix thinks the "original version" of their games are the best for whatever reason.
Re: Random: GameStop Tries To Make Light Of Switch 2 Staple Fiasco, But Lands In More Trouble
Game Stop is that kid who sat up the back of the class, never learned anything but still think they know everything.
Re: Pokémon Fan Loses "20 Years Worth Of Data" After Performing Switch 2 Transfer
Pokemon Home has been out for years. Zero sympathy.

Nah. Just having fun at this point.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Cyberpunk 2077 Tech Review On Switch 2
@Fiergala LOL. The argument equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?"
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Cyberpunk 2077 Tech Review On Switch 2
@Fiergala because they coast by on former glories and are a shadow of their former selves these days.
Re: Hershey Teams Up With Pokémon For New Collectable Chocolates
American chocolate? Yuck. Why don't I just eat some mud? It will taste about the same.
