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.

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.
