Nintendo Switch 2 Banned for Playing Used Games?
2025-07-13

A Nintendo Switch 2 user had their new console banned by Nintendo after playing used Switch 1 games. The user purchased four used games from Facebook Marketplace, updated them, and the next day their console was blocked from Nintendo's online services. Luckily, they were able to resolve the issue by providing proof of purchase. This highlights the risks of buying used games, as unscrupulous sellers could copy games, leading to false piracy accusations. While Nintendo is known for its strict IP protection, this shows a willingness to rectify mistaken bans.
