From X: "Allegedly, putting the MIG Switch into the Switch 2 locks you out and ends up boot looping."

Looks like was already tested.

They are charging $80 for their flagship title. They aren't about to lose sales to pirates anytime soon...maybe eventually, one day.

I feel like Nintendo will go full El Brickador with any attempt to hack the console

 

[Deerock71]

I'd be super-cautious buying second hand from here on out.

A few individuals played around with pre release hard and software probing known exploits from the switch 1...
That means absolutely nothing except that Nintendo is aware of the errors they made the last time.
If they make it to year 2 without full blown homebrew I'll start believing that they actually got better.

They can always try

buying second hand is never a good idea in general.

If I do buy off that market, I pay extra for still wrapped as if brand new.

 

[VGA-Games]

Awesome!!!

 

[tanners]

IT IS A FLASHCARD
Mig switch was never considered successful even in pirate scene tho

 

[Seomel]

I love how people think online because of this switch 2 will be some impossible hardware to jailbreak

 

[Buggy Loop]

I'd wager Nintendo fine combed any potential hack after nvidia's fuckup on OV switch .

I really doubt it'll be fast this time

 

[Pelao]

I'm sure it will happen eventually, but it sounds like it will take a very long time.

It's gonna be hacked before the end of the year.

 

[Puscifer]

This is damn hilarious considering Mig has been talking about the fact it's been guaranteed and tested on Switch 2 LMFAO

 

[Robb]

I'm convinced Nintendo has implemented a ton of measures to prevent the next Zelda from being fully playable on an emulator 2 weeks before launch.

But some of these things sound strange. Consoles bricking due to minuscule voltage changes? Surely there's more than just hacking that could cause something like that. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

How would you insert a jet fighter?

It's only a matter of time before it's cracked anyway

Well, nobody would admit to being a hacker and mention that in a forum.

It's gonna be hacked before the end of the year.

Unless Nvidia messed it up again I doubt it.

On a similar topic, Nintendo has sent out Switch 2's to stores in factory mode

That's…amazing, holy shit!

 

[baphomet]

Lol, not even remotely true.

 

[simpatico]

Nintendo is wise to start these rumors with viral marketers. Probably more effective than actually trying to figure out how to outsmart the galaxy brained console modders. Just scare the general public away from doing it.

lmao bro
so the guy from gbatemp secretly works for Nintendo ? I doubt they give any fuck really.

 

[blacktout]

Title should probably be changed to reflect the fact that we now know that this is bullshit.

I highly doubt it, but I do think it's a viable strategy to at least slow it down with very little cost.

I've been watching and listening to Spawn Wave for years and he is pretty reputable. Plus, it was through him where I learned about Nate and MVG, who seem to know their stuff.
