Man, so Nintendo’s in hot water again—a Brazilian consumer group is shaking their legal fists about some EULA stuff. Ever read those? Didn’t think so. Apparently, Nintendo’s decided their fancy license agreement’s got some pretty wild terms. Like, “Hey, screw up and we might just turn your console into a paperweight.” Seriously?
Anyway, spotted this juicy bit thanks to Dexerto. The whole thing’s like a telenovela—Procon-SP, this Brazilian watchdog, is barking at Nintendo to tweak some sneaky clauses. Surprise, surprise! If you don’t play by Nintendo’s strict copyright rules, they might just snatch away your online magic and turn your console into a very expensive doorstop.
Now onto the fun part. So Procon-SP’s all about this “unilateral and unjustified cancellation” drama. They’re basically like, “Hey, Brazil’s got jack for protection ‘cause Nintendo’s not really hanging around here.” So, they had to holler at the U.S. Nintendo HQ, and now some Brazilian lawyers gotta untangle this mess.
Oh, speaking of messes, here’s something you’ll love—Nintendo’s already been zapping Switch 2 accounts. Why? That pesky Mig Flash card rears its head. It’s like, essentially a digital smuggler’s toolkit. And folks are getting the boot even if they’re supposedly just using their own game backups. But hey, that’s a gray zone the size of the Amazon.
Nintendo says they’ll mull over Procon-SP’s gripes for a bit—20 days, to be exact. Meanwhile, Switch 2’s selling like the hottest pão de queijo in town, smashing records like it’s no biggie. It’s scarce enough that the president himself had to say, “Sorry, folks.”
Totally wild ride, right? Keep your eyes peeled for the next episode of the Nintendo saga. And yeah, go hit that follow button on Tom’s Hardware if you want more updates, because who doesn’t love a rollercoaster?
Catch you on the flip side.
