What Bricks a Nintendo Switch 2?

2•DinoGoRawr•1h ago

So I've heard of the whole thing of the Switch 2 getting bricked with MIGS and game dumping, but what about just normal game mods? Does it still get bricked if i want to play TOTK with a mod that would change his hair color? Is there a line for mods? Whats the deal here, I know im not doing ANYTHING until i get a good idea of if its okay. And it states in the agreement thing "without nintendos consent" so if i email them for consent will it be all good to add game mods?

Consoles don't allow mods and trying to get your Switch 2 to run one would very likely be violation of TOS, for which they can and do brick devices.

I can see that, I was just actively watching a modding for TOTK early on youtube, and I guess theirs ways to have a mod running software, i think it was atmosphere or somthing like that, and I couldve only assumed it was not okay, but if so why make youtube videos about modding a switch 2 if its not legal with there terms? whats the point?

Hackers do quasi-legal stuff and publish it all the time. It's a part of the hacker ethos. But it's risky and if you want to do legit business under your brand or identity, not recommended.

Do you think Nintendo would respond to a email i send and give consent to just some normal game mods? or would it most likey be a hard no?
