Players Banned for Using Pre-Owned Switch 2 Games

Alright, so picture this. You just got your hands on the shiny new Nintendo Switch 2, and you’re all excited to dive into the gaming world, right? You pop in one of those used games you snagged—maybe from a friend or your favorite game store—and then, bam! You get hit with a ban. No clue what’s going on? You’re not alone. Turns out, there’s this thing brewing that’s giving Switch 2 owners a bit of a headache.

So here’s the scoop: people have always loved used games, right? It’s like a gaming tradition. You finish a game, you trade it in, someone else picks it up—it’s been happening since forever. But, get this, things aren’t as smooth sailing on the Switch 2. Why? Some folks, apparently, have been copying game cartridges before passing them on. Sneaky, huh?

Now, let’s say you innocently buy one of these used games, thinking all’s good. Insert that cartridge, do your update, and then—hold your horses—you come back the next day to find your console banned from online stuff. Ouch. One guy even said it happened after he borrowed a game from a library. A library! Seriously?

Nintendo, trying to curb piracy, sees two systems playing what looks like the same game copy. Boom, both systems get banned. It’s like they’re saying, “Hey, play fair!”

Luckily, if you’re hit with the ban hammer but swear you have the legit copy, Nintendo support can sort it out. They might lift the ban if your game’s the real deal. The fake ones, though—those stay out in the cold.

Honestly, this whole situation sucks for gamers who shelled out big bucks—especially if they got their console from a scalper for, like, double the price or something. But hey, at least there’s hope if you find yourself caught in this tangled web. Talking to Nintendo? Yeah, it’s worth a shot.

Anyway—yeah, I know, tangents—but where was I? Oh, right. It feels like a game of cat and mouse. They’re just trying to keep everyone playing fair, I guess. Plus, those who really did nothing wrong might not have to worry about losing their stuff after all. Crazy times in the world of gaming, huh?
