I know it's not N but imagine the flak if they did this ! -

Not Only Is the New PlayStation 5 More Expensive, It’s Also Worse

This is not how consoles should age over time.

Hi, I have been reading on the Nintendo anti piracy and a confused, can you buy second hand games for the Switch 2 and use them and not be banned by Nintendo?

As long as the games were not copied, yeah.

EDIT: Also as long as you don't plan on playing the game online (or being online) you can still play copied games.

Ah thanks, so it could be a risk buying second hand games as you do not know if they have been copied? Or will the original game just work fine if bought second hand?

That is the fear. As far as I know you can't tell if someone copied a used game and turned around and resell it. Both (for lack of better word) copies can't be played online at the same time. At least with the Switch 2 Nintendo is explicitly looking for MIG Cart users and banning the consoles. I don't know if they don't care about Switch 1. I haven't 100% been keeping up with all of this, maybe someone else here has more info.

Thanks, hmm understandable from Nintendos side I guess, but is bad also as Nintendo games are horrendously expensive now and VERY rarely go on sale.

Always nice to see N getting recognition and what are MS playing at ?

"Someone go tell Nintendo that": Former Blizzard president responds to Xbox boss saying exclusives are "antiquated," says "Nintendo has continually dominated with outstanding games"

I for one am shocked the company that doesn't make exclusives sees them as "antiquated"

They are probably flirting with Nintendo as a step toward proposing bringing Xbox cloud streaming to switch 2.
