Whoa, okay, so here’s the story. Quinn Nelson, who does that Snazzy Labs stuff on YouTube, got their Switch 2 blocked by Nintendo after snagging a used Switch game. Like, imagine buying a game off eBay and then, boom, your console’s blacklisted. Seems like that copy of Bayonetta 3 or whatever was, I dunno, maybe tampered with or something? Anyway, Nintendo’s all like, “Nope, not on our watch.”
So, Nelson warns everyone — if you’re buying used Switch games, be super careful. Seriously. It’s not just about losing a game; it’s like losing access to your whole online gaming world. Imagine getting a console basically new, one month old, and then, suddenly, it’s like being exiled from the digital kingdom. Tough break, right?
Now, there’s a sliver of hope. Some folks on social media are like, “Don’t worry, mate, just chat with Nintendo, show ’em some proof you didn’t know it was a dodgy copy, and they might let you back in.” Apparently, it’s not THAT rare — so, fingers crossed for Nelson, I guess?
But wait, there’s a twist. Some people are poking around Nelson’s past tweets where he talks about using something called MIG Flash to dump games. It’s like, is this flash cart just a way to lug games around, or is it something more? Who knows? Anyway, Nelson’s clear: he ain’t into piracy. Just playing his own games, thank you very much.
So yeah, kind of hoping things work out for Nelson soon. It’s gotta be a nightmare, having your tech dreams squashed like that over a misunderstanding. Who’d have thought buying games second-hand could get this complicated?
And hey, if you’re as wired into tech as Nelson, keeping up with the latest is probably key. Like, that’s what Tom’s Hardware’s for, right? Stay savvy out there!
