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!

      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.
