- Used second-hand switching consoles 2 were changed would have been broken by Nintendo anti-pirate policy
- Redditor Bimmytung says they bought a second -hand console from Walmart, only to discover that the Switch 2 is permanently offline
- Nintendo blocks access to online services on the console if the players have changed the console using the MIG Flash tool
If you are thinking of buying a used Nintendo Switch 2, you may want to think twice, because Nintendo’s anti-pirate policy would have left consoles permanently offline.
As IGN reports, Redditor Bimmytung shared an article explaining how they bought a Walmart second -hand switch 2, only to find that it was “ brick ” by Nintendo after starting it.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Nintendo had blocked access to online services on the console if the players had used Mig Flash, a tool used to allow players to save copies of the games.
Before the launch of Switch 2, Nintendo suggested in its user agreement that it had the power of “brick” devices that are modified.
“Nintendo can make the Nintendo account services and / or the Nintendo apparatus applicable permanent unusable in whole or in part,” he reads.
The persons concerned will be presented with the error code “2124-4508”, which will permanently prevent players from accessing online services, which Redditor Bimmytung has experienced.

“I am looking for Switch 2. Today, I was driving between the work sites and I stopped at two different Walmarts. In the second, I find a Mario Kart Edition sitting in the case and could not believe my luck, “said Bimmytung.
“Physically that’s good, everything seems there. Notice that the Mario Kart The code is scratched. Hmm. I naturally wonder if the original buyer exchanged the code and returned the system. They overturned $ 50 reduction on the price, so I thought that I would ride the dice and that I would have at least the equipment. I bought a professional controller 2 while I was there.
The Redditor continued, saying: “Go home and go to finish the configuration – quickly get the error code 2124-4508. A quick search on Google shows me that I am screwed up. FML. Fortunately, my local Walmart accepted the return without hassle but always … I want nothing other than the double gonorrhea enthusiast with the Lowlife tablecloth.”
Users with a switch 2 “ bricked ” could not mainly access multiplayer games like Mario Kart WorldThe eshop, the playing cat, and more.
Fortunately, stores like Walmart can accept reimbursements, but if you were to buy a second -hand console on Ebay without knowing if it had been changed, you are not lucky.
