Buyer Beware: Nintendo Switch 2 User Banned for Playing Used Games—Here’s What Happened!

Nintendo's flagging system seems to have been working overtime recently, as a player of the Nintendo Switch 2 found out the hard way. After purchasing a selection of previously owned Switch games from Facebook Marketplace, the user experienced an unexpected ban. Though the specifics of the incident remain unclear, the individual shared their story on Reddit, recounting how they meticulously inserted each game one by one to download updates before hitting the hay. To their dismay, they awoke to a message informing them that their access to online features had been restricted. Fortunately, after reaching out to Nintendo Support, who proved to be quite helpful, they were asked to provide the game listings and take photos of the titles in question. This cooperation led to a swift resolution, and the user was ultimately unbanned, restoring their access to the online services they rely on.
