(WHY IS THIS SUDDENLY POPULAR???)
If you read the title, you know what's up. I currently own a banned Switch and I had to reset it a while back. I reset it and thought I would be able to link my Nintendo account, but I wasn't. It would give me the "You are banned" error. This may not seem important, but it really is if you have no intention to pirate. I was fine with not being able to link my Nintendo account, until I tried to download and install a game from eXhop... It doesn't install. It'll give you an error. This is essentially forcing me to illegally download any games I own on my Nintendo account. I really don't want to, but there's no way to access that content now. I'm making this post to warn banned users from resetting their Switch. In fact, you can't reset it from normal firmware, it'll tell you you're banned, you have to go into recovery mode (actual recovery mode, not RCM) and reset it there. If there's any way I can link my Nintendo account that you guys can come up with, I'd be super happy. Take this as a warning, do not unlink your Nintendo account from a banned Switch or reset your banned Switch!
