Contrary to the Title, this is not what most people expect. A little click-bait, yet non-the-less I have managed to gain all my friends games through this technique.

Once again, this is not extremely reliable but once it is accomplished, Nintendo cannot fix it from their end unless you connect to the internet.

I've held this off for an extended period of time because I do not have regular internet connection and therefor this technique works well for me, yet I still wanted to wait to make sure any hassle I caused would have calmed down.

The technique overides the fact that only one console can have the same account activated at a time. By ensuring that Console B dosent reconnect to the Nintendo servers we can have two consoles with the same account activated, therefor allowing games to be played on both. (Apologies if I haven't explained this the most efficient way, I'm not the best)

Simply, the method is as follows; Deactivate Console A (whichever console is the one which has the games you with for Console B to have), Activate Console B and Download all Games from the Account, Disconnect Console B from the internet, Call/Mail Nintendo with the pretence that Console A cannot connect to the account. If you've played your cards right Nintendo should reactivate the account on Console A and deactivate the account on Console B. So long as Console B dosent connect to the Nintendo servers you will be free to play the games on both consoles.

I'm aware this isn't the best exploit or what most people are looking for, but is useful for those that don't have as much money, wish to have two consoles with the same games or no internet dosent bother them.

Please let me know if I need to elaborate or clear anything up. Hope this was useful.

I don't see the reason the word "hack" is used. But I guess this would be a decent way of game sharing on the switch.

If this is indeed true, then great bro

Can you post some pictures and explain exactly what you did. (You shouldn't have bricked it, but I'll help anyway I can)

Sorry but nothing new.
The same thing happen with the 3ds.
Also this isnt something you do over and over.
And really not worth the time imo

Couldn't you just use DNS to block Nintendo's servers?
How do you do that cause I'm trying to?

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
