Nintendo has always cracked down on violations. In the latest wave of Switch2 hosts banned on the entire platform, in addition to regular violations such as using burn cards, some users have encountered the host brick just because of their "slightly offensive" usernames.

Nintendo Switch 2 is experiencing the first round of large-scale bans, and the banned host will completely lose its networking function.Although the ban is mainly aimed at using MiG to burn cards, according to a Reddit user, its host was permanently banned just because it was set to "Twink Link" (a joked name for the protagonist Link of "The Legend of Zelda".

According to Nintendo customer service, such bans are irreversible.The banned host will not be able to access eShop, obtain system updates, or even run game cartridges that require network verification, and will completely become offline devices.Unlike Sony and Microsoft banned accounts, Nintendo directly banned the Switch2 host hardware, and the user account can still be used on other hosts.

Nintendo's Americas Community Guidelines clearly stipulate that the use of obscene, illegal or inappropriate user names is prohibited, and violators will face penalties such as content deletion, service suspension or permanent ban.The recently updated user agreement gives Nintendo the right to terminate the service at any time.

The user involved said that his family member immediately triggered the ban after modifying the username, and he could only return the goods through GameStop.Given the current policy stance, players should avoid using any suggestive or controversial usernames—Nintendo obviously adopts zero tolerance for Switch2 violations.
