Hey remember when Nintendo punished Europe for releasing X&Y early by delaying ORAS for a week?
Wonder what they’ll do to the shop that let this slip.

Come on people, we all called it

Lmao so if you don’t have internet your shit is bricked
Death_Metalhead101
So even if you somehow get it early you can’t use it until day one
Lordofthereef
I see the reasoning for this, but seems like requiring internet to first use the thing should be something that’s mentioned in marketing? Unless there’s just somehow an internal clock that unlocks it.

I wonder what this means for people without internet, or someone who buys the console in-box after the servers for it are shut down.

Hopefully the update is live at midnight on launch day and the servers can handle the stress of all the people signing in on day one

This guy has a single video of him opening the lid of the box and nothing else. And he is saying that it’s locked behind an update.
Just saying I’m not 100% sure I believe what he is saying is true

Dang, reminds me of the Xbox One. Friend got one around the holidays and his internet was out so he didn’t get to use it for a couple days.
The source for this seems to be the comments section of a 7-second YouTube video that has already been taken down, but if true I’m not a fan of Nintendo selling a device that doesn’t work out the box

It weas known since April, Switch 1 BC was gonna need a firmware update, this is basically non news unless one can actually test a Switch 2 title to see if that boots.

Good. No leaks
Ollidor
I’m glad Nintendo is doing that

Can’t wait until this ends up being misinformation like all the rest and the Reddit gaming community is going to assume it’s true just because a headline said so.

Won’t it just launch if your off wifi? Or is there a timed update built in?

Do we have any proof besides a random dude just saying it’s so? Did he record trying to fire it up?
maritoguionyo
does anyone have a video archive of it

So you can’t stash one of these away for 10 years and expect it to work?
MrGamePadMan
Some people can’t just be patient and do the right thing with this. Smh.

The entirety of the Nintendo board of directors could come round to your house and shoot you in the balls and most of this sub would be happy with that and probably thank them.
Before the Switch 2 was announced everyone was clamouring for leaks and images but now it’s close to release you all are “Good. No leaks”?
Euresko
Is there a backup link, that video got ninja’d
silverfaustx
So you need internet to start up a console? Fail
Pete_Iredale
If Nintendo is requiring a day one patch without saying as much, they are going to have plenty of really pissed off customers.
Wrong_Revolution_679
I’m completely okay with this, as long as it help stop thieves from stealing then It’s okay in my book
Same_Active_7076
Does anyone have the vid on Google drive or something? I always love this kinda shit
NonAdjustment
How did the leaker get it?
SparklingZone
Damn imagine if the unlock update fails to unlock them 🤣
hollowglaive
Bruh, the commenters, people stop, you are taking hypotheticals and blowing them extremely out of proportion and trying to use “how will the poor country boy with no running water and electricity in a 10th world back water bombed out shit hole use his new switch 2 day one?”
Miss me with that.
It’s probably a timed lock for the server as it’s trying to be accessed before “official launch day” like, who cares bro? None of you have it, and whoever this random internet unboxer is I guess sucks to be him, you have an expensive display piece until launch day lmao.

I can understand if this was a way to prevent people from using it early but If this were to be true that you need to access the internet to use it after launch to prevent leaks early would future manufacturing of the console be built to be able to work without needing this update to play games?

Why are are articles like this written so badly? It’s clear there’s nothing of substance in the prose and they’re stringing together buzz words for SEO. Frustrating to read as someone who can read above a middle school level.

Bricked if you turn on the Switch2, and your calender reads wrong. Yikes. Hope this isn’t true. Would Switch2 brick if you edit console time and date?
For the sake of older Animal Crossings, it was fun to change the date and time sometimes. Well, except for all of the weeds that would grow lol
I’ll assume this isn’t verified as truth until more information comes out
