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.

    The number of people with the issue is probably not that high, specially in US and most parts of Europe, but still could be an issue for some.

    I wonder if the Switch 2 actually work with Hotel or similar networks that require sign-in. I’ve always had trouble getting the Switch online while travelling abroad because of this.

    I’ve bought games and consoles during work trips and it would suck hard not being able to play them until I got home.
