Reminder that all of this shitposting about "nintendo can brick your switch 2 at any time" is astroturfed outrage from snoys

they've been using that same language since the Wii and there are still zero (0) cases of them "bricking" a console.

isn't that the case with all consoles since the ps2?

i really dont know. i usually discount these console shitflinging as just random hate, but shit like this making the news really does make me a believer that there is a certain group trying to paint switch 2 in a poor light

Korean wiis and one bad system update. This is the only case I know of that's Nintendo related. I also heard Microsoft will brick dev 360s that try to connect to Partnernet in 2025.

Its not the same language. The first 2 say your device may become unplayable, but the 3rd is the first time it says Nintendo themselves will cause the device to become unplayable.

amazon bricked my kindle fire for trying to install a older update.
they also removed the store recently and when they did some intern removed all of my addons from my old side loaded firefox
amazon and kiketendo can fuck themselves.
im buying everything used lmao

Iwata personally came to my house and smashed my DS with a hammer for using a R4 cart

historically they banned 3ds for less

Finally the snoys are good for something

Watch this thread get deleted before all the other FUD Nintendo threads up right now.

There's no way they are allowed to brick the hardware. They can remove service access but fundamentally it is your hardware and they can't destroy it. The EU lawsuit will fuck even a player like Nintendo.

DSi:

If we detect (...) your access (...) may be disabled.

3DS:

After your (...) System is updated or changed, (...) any (...) unauthorized modification (...) will render the system permanently unplayable.

Switch:

if you fail to comply (...) Nintendo may render the (...) device permanently unusable

You could argue 3DS wording is less aggressive, but DSi uses "we" in the condition, implying their action results in a brick. Still, it all boils down to the same thing: you hack, you get fucked. It's been the norm since consoles went online, automatic updates on a CFW PSP would brick your system back in the early days of hacking too. The outrage is artificial.

What about all the PS3s that got bricked when players cheated in CoD4?

Sure, but banning a console from online play is not the same as bricking it.

Nintendo may render the (...) dewice permanently unusable

I'm fairly certain that destruction of property is illegal in most countries. Blocking from Nintendo's multiplayer network, I can understand. However, rendering the console itself unusable is criminal.

why are you shortening out the fact that the dsi and 3ds are talking about online access specifically, where the switch 2 says the device itself? it's a very big difference

Anon, "system" is lingo for the console hardware unit, not the online infrastructure.

the sonys are out to get us

that there is a certain group trying to paint switch 2 in a poor light

Yeah. It's called Nintendo.

yes yes it's always a grand conspiracy if Nintendo gets anything less than unconditional asskissing by the press or public

Who else shitposts about Nintendo?

Remind me, why are we so desperate for the Switch 2 to fail? Do we think Sony and Microsoft will magically become the kings of consoles?

haha yeah man it's not like a major video game sit would ever get black listed because they'd teach people how to emulate switch games or anything

oh wait that happened

The damage is already done, but Switch 2 sets a bad precedent for game prices. A 3DS situation would've been optimal.

Everyone? I haven't bought a console in over a decade and you ninteniggers are pathetic.
I like the switch pro controller though.

Cope, snoy.

lmao and nintendofags have the nerve to say anyone else is "mindbroken", look at you faggots shrieking about boogeymen and tinfoil bullshit when reception doesn't go entirely their way

people think the yakuza is just a funny video game premise until they actually have to deal with yakuza bullshit

Sony is gay as fuck too, their fans are almost as bad as nintengroids. Luckily there is less of them here so they're a bit less flamboyant with their blatant faggotry.

Sure bro.

What kind of fucking delusion do you have to believe that only one fanbase on the entire internet can hate the thing that you worship?

Tendies aren't the ones shitting up this board every five seconds. Spamming the same "nintendo le bad" threads over and over just shows how much this company mindraped all of you

Tendies aren't the ones shitting up this board every five seconds.

shitting up is when saying negative thing about your favorite company

Between like 2006 and I'd say 2012 or so it was basically IMPOSSIBLE to find JRPGs in retailers.
That was also the time where stations like G4TV went on... weirdly racist tangents that had nothing to do with a game and framed Japanese games as cringe for the sole reason of being Japanese, constantly displaying things out of context.

Yet, when JRPGs were stocked by retailers, they sold like hotcakes. Gee, I wonder why. Maybe these games being "outdated" and "out of fashion" and "cringe" was just completely fabricated by Western retailers and the Western game industry so that they could sell their shit more.
Especially considering that beloved Western RPGs like Mass Effect BASICALLY goes with JRPG tropes for their party members but would never admit it.

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 sold SO well that it was constantly sold out ion the retail version to the point it was temporarily 200 bucks on Amazon. Nintendo's 1st full game that they sold on the E-Shop (rather than just WiiWare or Virtual Console games) was Xenoblade Chronicles for that reason.
Even though the game sold like hotcakes, retailers ordered only small amounts of extra copies.

I now 100% think that this USAID money at work to manufacture changing tides of the market just by paying off the media to frame things in their favor and pay off retailers to primarily stock their stuff and stock lower amounts of competitor products, now the money has come to somewhere else funnily enough.

IT IS OK WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT!

Why does Anon Babble care about game prices when it pirates every game ever made?

Sony can brick the console anytime by blacklisting the console's MAC, Serial, etc.

Do you absolutely need to have fifteen different threads up at all times saying the exact same thing in each?

and here comes the martyr complex

It doesn't matter; they have an army of the best lawyers to sue you into oblivion.

Westoids are desperate to attack japan because vidya wise it means westoids have to actually put in effort and make good gameplay on top of having attractive females for the only market that has money to buy shit (straight white/asian males).

But how does this affect you personally?

Even the best lawyers can't protect a company from clearly illegal behavior. Pretty sure they'd be royally fucked if this ever went to trial in the EU

I love how the Nintendo defense force has to always deflect to "S-snoy!" because they know they don't have a single leg to stand on compared to PC gaming. Consolefags and their whataboutism is cute

If EU refuses to bend down, Nintendo will stop selling the switch 2 to EU. OBEY ME! OR NO GAME FOR YOU!!!!

macaco, these lies are getting way too fucking desperate
what big insider news you got that are such good news for da choods for you to be like this right now?

the people obsessively defending Nintendo for the past decade are ESL third-worlders

Now that's genuinely surprising.

"STOP DEFLECTING!"

They're literally doing the same thing you're complaining about, but you're just going to ignore it and continue saying "Durhur you guys are bootlicking billion dollar corporation"

compared to PC gaming

Are you saars prepared for the forced adoption of Windows 11 later this year?

NTA, After many patches and revisions, Windows 11 hasn't turned out to be as bad as some unfairly exaggerate.

LTSCs in your path

forced

Nothing is "forced" on PC, I have full autonomy over my system and in fact use Linux.

So now you're saying if something was wrong that was done in the past it's okay to keep doing it?

Are you just saying random shit to be funny?

Are you just saying random shit to be funny?

It's hilarious how anger, rage, and fury are the only emotions Anon Babbleirgins feel and know to the point they constantly project it on everyone else. You can't even ask a simple question without one of them spamming "U SO MAD!!!" wojaks and pictures.

Maybe don't seethe like a bitch and pretend to not know what an extremely simple post means then

It's basically been proven at this point that the fake outrage is coming from Chinese bot accounts.

Nintendo, Sony and MS can in fact remotely brick your console whenever they want but I've only seen it happen when someone finances a console and doesn't pay it off.

it's the snoys

it's the chinese

it's macacofag

it's eric

it's jimbo

it's barry

etc etc

No one complained about it back then but I guess we should start now because the internet told me

ask a simple question

HERE CUM DAH MARTYR!!!!!

what

U SEW MAHD!!!!!

huh

SEEEEEEEEEEEETHE!!!!!!

Stop being a fanboy, Nintendo's own words leave zero room for misinterpretation they can brick your switch 2 at anytime if you're violating thier tos

If that's true why has it never happened yet? All of those thousands of modded Wiis, Wii-Us, 3DSs, and Switches and yet Nintendo hasn't flicked the kill switch once.

By the time the Switch 2 becomes cheap enough to be worth buying this will be a nothingburger, assuming it isn't already

they can brick your switch 2 at anytime if you’re violating their tos

Then avoid doing retarded shit like going online on a modded switch console for an example. You guys are making it seem like there’s going to be people getting their consoles bricked left and right for no reason

The fuck are you talkin about? You can still use W7

It is a nothingburger, snoy has had this wording in their ToS since forever now and there's been no brickings outside like 2 corner cases unless you count the CoD brickings.

don't argue with stupid nintendo sub humans

they could brick all your consoles and handhelds for no reason for years why do you care now?

The absolute state

They did brick a bunch of 3ds not too long ago and you already forgot lol

Link?

People got online banned, not bricked.

Snoys have no gaems.

Have to rely on gachaslop and fortnite for their vidya fix.

Because of this they think an online ban is equal to a console bricking.

Lmfao.

The entire (((media))) is in the hands of snoys. They are desperate:

biggest launch ever

Loosing FFVII to its biggest rival, looking on par with the PS5 version.

All EA games will look nearly identical than the PS versions, with the benefits of it being portable.

FromSoft exclusive game.

Their only hope to not lose too much market share was GTA 6 and it will only launch next year. Even Monster Hunter, while had a huge opening, has terrible legs.

It’s no wonder why they’ve been seething harder than usual lately

I AM TRANS!

Sista... we know.

Uhh I'm PC mustard race ackshuuly

Even Monster Hunter, while had a huge opening, has terrible legs.

That one was truly pathetic, MH used to dominate the top 5 for almost 2 goddamn months each time it released.
And even after said 2 months they still stuck around the top 30 for almost half a year.
Now it topped it once then fell off a fucking cliff so hard that rise for the switch started charting on the top 30 again, like goddamn.

If they won't then why do they need the ability to?

We are reaching next level schizo babble tendie cope Holy shit

”Nintendo would do this evil shit because…they’re evil”

Again, you’re making up scenarios in your head

Didn't their old TOS also state they could self-destruct your system if they felt like it?

bamp

>they could brick all your consoles and handhelds for no reason for years

and it never happened, literally not a single time
yet all of a sudden, tons of news outlets are screeching that nintendo is gonna brick your switch 2 for no reason

It's mostly just an empty threat towards hackers
they never actually brick the console, they just ban you from the online services
