Nintendo Switch 2 is already in some people's hands, but it's a brick until June 5

The Switch 2 is a giant paperweight until launch day

This is bad. Because,

a. Switch 2 can get bricked when Nintendo wants you to upgrade to the “Switch Tree.”

b. If you discover a purely unused switch 2 decades later it will be useless. It’s bricked unless you get that Switch 2 update.

c. It all ties to that Nintendo bricking terms of service terms.

    Considering they have never done this with any of their previous consoles, and the fact that the original switch launched in March 2017, they have no excuse in terms of “being rushed.”
