Don't bother trying to mod the Nintendo Switch 2, unless you want to risk bricking it

It seems like Nintendo has placed extreme barricades against modding of the Switch 2, taking a very different stance from the original Switch.

It's not even out yet it will be softmoded but give the community time.

They cracked the Wii with a paperclip after all never count out the community's ingenuity

That goes for literally every piece of hardware released. Eventually people will jailbreak it, it's inevitable. Nothing to get your panties in a bunch either, people can do what they'd like with what they own.

Best to wait for the games to be cracked and on torrent sites. I'm sure there will be Switch 2 emulators. You can then play Switch 2 games on a handheld PC lol.

The tone of this reply seems to come out of nowhere. Telling people the Switch 2 has taken more drastic measures to make modding the hardware harder isn't people getting panties in a bunch.

That was more for the fanboys

For what Nintendo did, rising the market prices and sell a keypass console, this time is personal for the hackers.

PRIMORDUS1d 14h ago

It will be modded give it time, not a soft mod, most likely a chip to bypass that security which would need to be soldered. If you buy something you have the right to mod, hack, whatever you want to it, no one or no company should even get involved, only thing is the warranty would be void which is fine, not make it unusable after. There needs to be laws for this, to stop companies from doing what Nintendo does.

Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are available at Argos and Asda right now

If you haven't pre-ordered a Switch 2 console ahead of time, several UK retailers have stock available on launch day.

Confirmed beyond doubt that the Switch 2 did not sell out. People should vote with their wallet and not support £75 games imo.

ZycoFox1d 7h ago

I have one being delivered today, god only knows why, I also guessed it wouldn't sell out completely. The chip has been ready for years and Nintendo purposely held it back, unsurprisingly.

Not only is it late but Mario Kart looks mostly more of the same.. And the key cards piss people off, I shouldn't be supporting them at this point. I don't know but I just miss Rare's games from the 64, they consistently delivered top notch games better than Nintendo's efforts just about every time.. Sigh

Or, maybe they just made a ton of extras like they said they were going to in an effort to combat scalpers. Making sure there was enough stock for everyone. I am a big Nintendo complainer. I like their games but really dislike a lot of their company practices. (Just go look through my comment history on here...) I don't think this has anything to do with lack of sales though.

This was exactly what they planned. Launch day was already set up with the following day being restocked.

good luck getting on here in NA if you didn't preorder. Also lots of retailers secured some extra stock for launch day for those who didn't get preorders. Guarantee those will sell out within a day or two.

Hope Switch 2 will sell well despite the price.
