Alright, so here’s the scoop — kinda weird, and maybe a bit chaotic, but stick with me. Quinn Nelson, the dude from Snazzy Labs on YouTube — gotta love his stuff, usually super tech-savvy — got his shiny new Switch 2 stiff-armed by Nintendo. All because of a used game buy — that Bayo 3 cart off eBay. Seriously, who knew eBay could be so dangerous?
So, Quinn throws out this warning—like, be careful with those used Switch games, yeah? Apparently, his console, barely a month old and already costing him a cool $450, gets slapped with a ban. Man, if this isn’t a tech horror story, I don’t know what is. And it’s not just that dusty old cart — it’s the whole online service gig just gone. No more eShop, no multiplayer fun. Nada.
Now, here’s the kicker: some folks online are all like, “Yo, Quinn, you’re not alone. Lots of people get dinged for using secondhand carts if they were cloned.” Which, okay, doesn’t really help, but maybe a little? Also, seems like Nintendo might chill if you can show it wasn’t your bad. Screenshots, receipts — you name it. Might smooth things over.
Oh, but wait. Enter the plot twist. Centro LEAKS, those Pokémon whisperers, bring up an old tweet of Quinn’s. Yeah, apparently he’s into MIG Flash game dumping. Now, no judgment, maybe it’s for convenience? But, like, you just know the internet had a field day with that one.
Quinn’s all, “Hey, I use it for my original games, not this pirated nonsense.” Hope he’s right and gets his console back in the game, because, c’mon, paying so much for something you can’t even use properly? That’s rough.
So, there you go — a bit of a rollercoaster. Let’s hope for a happy ending here. I’m off to check my own game collection… just in case. Who knew gaming had so much drama?
