So my CFW switch was just banned, it might’ve happened a bit ago and I didn’t realize, but I noticed it today. I’m not really sure how it happened as I did use tinfoil to install Mario Wonder but it was all done on Emummc with Nintendo servers blocked (using the custom DNS method). I’m not too upset about it though, but I do need some help, specifically in understanding the fate of my account. I know that only the console was banned, not the account, and I now plan to use this switch exclusively for offline modded use without worrying about what I’m doing, which includes installing more games through tinfoil. I just want to make sure my account won’t be banned by continuing to do these things since I can’t find any way to unlink my account officially; I tried contacting support but they were unable to help, and I tried manual methods such as deleting my user account and formatting the console but both don't allow me to do so because the account can not be unlinked. If it’s not a risk to my account then I will just keep it on the console, but I do plan to continue using this account as my main one if I got a new switch.

Tl;dr Is keeping my Nintendo account on my banned switch console a risk to the account itself getting banned, and is there any way to remove it without further risking my account getting banned.

You should be able to log into your account in a new switch. They typically do system ban when go online with pirated content. You would get account back if you do like chargeback.

I see, so even if I continue using the Switch to pirate games I won't get account banned, and then I can just link the account to a new Switch later on without issue?

Another way to get account banned is to try tricking Nintendo support into giving you free games, according to Reddit. But yeah, account bans are not for homebrewing your Switch.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be

    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
