Ahead of the anticipated launch of the Switch 2, Nintendo has updated its user agreement and privacy policy, introducing a significant new clause regarding unauthorized use. The US version allows the company to make a user's console "unusable" if any rules concerning bypassing or modifying their products are breached. This measure appears aimed at tackling piracy and emulation. In contrast, the UK clause is more specific about the implications of unauthorized use. Nintendo's reputation for protecting its intellectual property remains strong, as evidenced by recent lawsuits against various entities.
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.
In comparison, the clause is different for people with a UK Nintendo account, as it specifically states that 'unauthorised use of a Digital Product may result in the Digital Product becoming unusable.'
