After just 12 days, Nintendo is already nuking Switch 2 console accounts for players caught using Mig Flash — popular cartridge allows Switch 1 games on the new console, but users say they're only using their own ROMs

Affected users are barred from using online services on the console, for now.

    Going online with flash carts on a new console is certainly a choice. The first Switch already hardware banned for doing that, so this isn’t new.

      I know people that got their Nintendo DS banned for using flash carts. This ain’t new.

        You sure about that? DS online was so basic that they actually didn’t have the capability to do bans back then.

          Yes, but it was only a few games when they were played/used on flashcarts before the game released :p
          Happened with phantasy star zero iirc
          It was also not nintendo’s choice but the game devs. So it was game bound, not console bound

          Yah, definitely not DS or DS lite. Playing online with pirated games on a hacked 3DS MAYBE, but certainly not flash carts.

          That said, I hacked my N3DSXL AGES ago so I could back up my Monster Hunter saves in case something ever happened before XX was released and I could transfer my data, played online a shit ton (with my R4DS in the cart slot) and was never banned.
