Knock knock, Nintendo.
Suprise!
Its the Consumer Protection and Defense agency of Brazil!
Yeah, Brazil is evidently not cool with the ‘we can completely brick your device remotely’ schtick.
I guess if the German “verbraucherschutz” hears this they might also pitch in once the German bureaucracy has run a few months for it
I read about Nintendo’s ability effectively brick them remotely yesterday and decided to cancel my order. I have had every Nintendo console since the NES, for better or worse, but I am definitely skipping this one.
The steam deck has been the direct replacement for the Nintendo switch for me.
I swear man there needs to be a big fan push nintendo to have some form of official pc ports
I know ‘canceled’ is the American spelling but it looks weird to me without the second L.
Oh my god, it does have two L’s. I’ve been losing my mind this entire time for like the past… Well since getting auto correct.
I thought I was just bad at spelling.
Both “canceled” and “cancelled” are correct spellings, but they are used in different regions. “Canceled” is the preferred spelling in American English, while “cancelled” is preferred in British English.
For whatever reason, even though I’m American, canceled just looks wrong to me.
I wonder if the EU can throw the book at them. Technically the port on the switch is not USB-C but a proprietary port with the same physical connector. But EU mandates USB-C especially so people can use chargers and things they already have. So I wonder if Switch 2 violates EU regulations.
it mandates it for charging, but i dont think the mandate technically applies for other functionality.
i wouldnt be surprised if as a device it charges normally with pd chargers.
Can’t believe they did it again.
While on the Switch 1 it might have been because the USB PD spec wasn’t fully finalized when it was made, on the 2 they’re being actively malicious.Can’t believe they did it again.
I mean, really?
I guess I should say I’m impressed at their audacity instead of suprised…
Nintendoesn’t
