wait… does that mean if people buy a switch 2 and bord a plane right after to play it , they wont be able to ????
This is like the Xbox One, except Microsoft actually tested the Day One update on production so people could download it.
I’ve gotten my hands on first party Nintendo titles before street date before – they had a tendency to need a patch for online play – which conveniently would come out at midnight eastern on release day. They’ve gotten better as the Switch has aged but they are still the most hostile platform holder on earth for about nine million different reasons. Hate to think about giving them money.

People stealing/buying stolen Switch 2’s unable to use them shocker.

Might be to enable backwards compatibility. Said he was trying to boot a switch 1 game. Console could have been manufactured months ago for all we know.
Smart move by Nintendo but I’m sure someone will find a work around though
These hypothetical situations people are making to bash the switch 2 is honestly getting pretty annoying ngl
You get what you buy. They literally told beforehand that everything is in their hands. Not yours.
Race to jailbreak it and load Linux before the day one update comes out. Will anybody get a working Switch before everybody else does?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Im not the target audience, but cant say I’d like the idea of hardware being controlled like that.
So the internet is a must for this to work at all.
Nintendo gets another pass because it’s Nintendo.
That’s unreal, but smart play tbh
It’s in their hands but they don’t own it.
Good. We all get to enjoy together on the day! They should lock physical game release the same too.
Nintendo better be 100% confident in their servers if true. If they go down or the downloads are slow, people are going to be real pissed.
Got mine in my room….gamestop wife🫠🥰🥰 but I ain’t open it or move it im.not trying get bricked before I let a nut iff
Remember when to use a piece of hardware you just plugged the power in and it just…worked?
Consoles are so dead if always online crap becomes the norm
People will be mad that it can’t be hacked prior to release now, but for the 99.9% of us who don’t plan on doing that this news isn’t bothering
