In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely.

Nintendo is Nintendoing again!

    Groovy. All they’re doing is making me more certain that I will not move above my 3DS. At least, not until there’s a guaranteed CFW for Switch.

        i would rather by a tablet or a pc then buy a switch just to mod it

        Well, I wouldn’t buy anything but a used one - do you think I’m going to give any money to Ninty’s lawyers?

        This is the only thing giving me any slight of interest in wanting to get a switch 2. I have an early switch and its pretty cool what it can do when hacked

          We got lucky in 2017, I suspect it’ll be a good long while before the switch 2 gets hacked, specifically in an accessible way.

          A hacked switch (or even switch 2 really, looking at the specs) is really just a shitty steam deck that can run Nintendo games natively.

          I wouldn’t recommend forking over 500 bucks for something you may be able to jailbreak one day, when 400 can get you more out of the box.
