- According to the reports, Switch Switch 2 consoles that have been modified are being bordered by Nintendo’s antipiratry policy
- Redditor Bimmytung says they bought a second -hand console from Walmart, just to discover that Switch 2 is permanently offline
- Nintendo has been blocking access to online services on the console if the players have modified the console using the MIG Flash tool
If you are thinking of buying a second -hand Nintendo Switch 2, you may want to think twice, since Nintendo’s antipiratry policy has left some consoles permanently offline.
As Ign reports, Redditor Bimmytung shared a publication that explained how they bought a Walmart Switch 2, just to discover that Nintendo had “barking” after starting it.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Nintendo had been blocking access to online services on the console if the players had used MIG Flash, a tool used to allow players to back up the games.
Before the Switch 2 was launched, Nintendo suggested in its user agreement that had the power of the ‘brick’ devices that are modified.
“Nintendo can make the Nintendo account services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently useless in its entirety or part,” he says.
Those affected will be presented with the error code “2124-4508”, which will prevent players from accessing online services, which is exactly what Redditor Bimmytung has experienced.

“I’ve been looking for a Switch 2. Mario Kart Sitting edition in the case and I couldn’t believe my luck, “said Bimmytung.
“Physically is fine, everything seems there. Note that the Mario Kart The code is scratched. Hmm. Naturally, ask if the original buyer redeemed the code and returned the system. They hit $ 50 of the price, so I thought I would throw the dice and at least the hardware would have. I bought a pro controller 2 while I was in that.
The Redditor continued, saying: “Enter and go to finish the configuration: get the error code 2124-4508. A quick search for Google shows me that I am screwed. Fml. Fortunately, my local walmart accepted the return without any uproar, but still … I don’t want anything more than a double gonorrhea enthusiast to the low life of life that did this.”
Users with a 2 ‘barking’ 2 switch essentially could not access multiplayer games such as Mario de Mario KartThe eshop, the game chat and more.
Fortunately, stores like Walmart can accept reimbursements, but if you had to buy a second -hand Ebay console without knowing if it had modified, it has no luck.
