- Nintendo Switch 2 users report online prohibitions on the console due to the use of the Flash Mig tool
- The tool allows players to save legally purchased games
- This raises the question of the console and the possession of the game in the middle of the gap in the industry of copies of physical games
The accumulation of the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 has been wrapped in controversy, due to the price of the portable console and its $ 80 games in the first party – and he now went further in the aftermath of his arrival.
As Tom’s equipment underlines, Nintendo Switch 2 users report online prohibitions on the console due to the use of Flash MIG, a tool used to allow players to save legally purchased games, essential to keep several copies of play on a single cartridge.
Before the launch, Nintendo essentially suggested through the user agreement, it can “brick” the 2 devices that have been modified. The agreement prevents users: “Nintendo can provide Nintendo account services and / or the Nintendo device permanently applicable unusable in whole or in part”. Based on user reports, “in part” seems to be the case, because access to all online services for prohibited users is no longer accessible.
This means that multiplayer and access to eShop to buy digital games (the two fundamentals in the use of a switch 2) have disappeared, making the console a single brick only. This is a measure very similar to the accounts of account of the exercise of Sony to the players taken in jailbreaking or modding PlayStation Systems – The only difference with the Switch 2 is that the users declare that they do not use a pirated rom, but rather legal discharges of games purchased.
This also adds to the controversy of players who fully lose the property of the games; The physical copies of the games disappear slowly, and the players can ensure that their games eliminated them at any time, even if the hacking is not involved, as Nintendo has just shown it.
Analysis: Do you really have your Nintendo Switch 2 at this stage?
Although I reprimanded Sony and Microsoft on this subject with their PlayStation and Xbox consoles, respectively, the Nintendo Switch 2 case is absurd for me.
Piracy is real, and I am aware that Nintendo tries to eliminate it from its switching ecosystem, but when the measures also affect those who use legal game backups, this asks the question: Really Have your Switch 2 portable console?
The simple answer is no, because if you bought equipment at $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 $ 699.99.10, and you can no longer access online services or be restricted (especially when you haven’t done anything illegal), then you do not have a complete owner.
It is almost The equivalent of the purchase of a play PC and the use of an Asus or MSI motherboard, and to make it be broken because the seller did not like what you did with the system. Yes, I know that you can have steam, epic games or Bataille.net prohibitions, but the chances that this happens are slim, and you can easily create a new account.
With Switch 2, the Ban message indicates: “The use of online services on this console is currently limited by Nintendo”, which actually means even if you create a new account, you cannot still use online services on the same device. Not only does it affect the owners, but it also ruins the value of the resale. This adds to the Nintendo anti-consumption collection, and I expect it to continue for a long time.
