Exactly my thoughts, but I am waiting for the Steam Deck 2... Or something more future proof (that would be my 1st gaming handheld stronger than my overclocked hacked Nintendo Switch v1).

Super Tux Kart is pretty decent tbh

Keep an eye on Sonic Racing: Crossworlds.

Every Mario Kart except World is playable on PC...but of course the online is far more limited since the pool of players is much, much smaller.

Garfield Kart 2 coming soon

PC has literally every other kart racer in existence though.

I've been enjoying Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers. However, it's rather technical compared to mario kart, so I would recommend against using the cheat-code to skip the tutorial.

You sure about that? DS online was so basic that they actually didn't have the capability to do bans back then.

From what I've seen from the videos of people with banned Switch 2s:

Yes, it still boots.

There are active discussions already going on on GBATemp.net about Switch 2 bans and whatnot. I'd keep an eye on that forum to see how things develop.

You could just put it in airplane mode to get the same effect.

"Which Games Are Game-Key Cards?

Looking at the listings on Target and GameStop, I've noticed that many publishers decided to use the game-key card format. This is allegedly because Nintendo is only offering third-party developers the 64GB cartridge or the game-key card—there is no smaller, standard physical cart. This would explain why nearly every major (and minor) AAA release is on a game-key card, since publishers don't want to pay extra for the more expensive storage space.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD, Hitman: World of Assassination, Hogwarts Legacy, Madden NFL 26, Raidou Remastered, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Split Fiction, Star Wars Outlaws, Street Fighter 6 Year 1-2 Fighters Edition, and Yakuza 0 Director's Cut will all require an internet connection to download before playing. Civilization VII will actually just be a code in a box. I can image there will be more (of both) in the future; the Switch 2 only just launched."

That's only for switch 1 games.

It gives error only when you try to login, the inspector would need to create an account and login. Possible but they barely do "it turns on, it works, can be resold", it takes too much time, Amazon many times just disposes perfectly fine stuff just because they don't want to pay $5 for someone to check it

For such a short timeframe you can return it because you just don't want it anymore

wait, they brick the switch itself?? I thought they banned the account or something

lol first response is a personal insult because someone takes it personally when someone else speaks truth that is disagreement with how they want things to be.

It's like this:

You: "Apples are better for you than oranges"

An orange lover: "How dare you insult me"

It's not even an account ban, it's just the console. And that is what Sony and Microsoft do too.

If you're using a flashcart online at all, you're an idiot.

If you're already doing piracy with a flashcart, do you even care about that? You'll get your games elsewhere.

As it should.

The difference is that Xbox and PlayStation still allow you to access your digital games or completely reset the console and delete your accounts off the console.

Its different with Switch 2, because now you cannot acces the digital games you legally bought. You cannot even delete your account off of the console. If you bought physical cpoies of games that don't have the data on the cart, you can't play those either on Nintendo Switch 2.
