Are you talking about AliExpress? I've never had luck finding them on AliExpress because they usually do not ship it to my place.
@vvoden explained it well, 11.11 sale price and clip those AliExpress coupons now what are the good stores to buy such a device from, that I can’t answer as I haven’t done so.
no ban risk unless you play dumped games on two o more different consoles at the same time.
So each cartridge game has a unique serial number? Damn... Nintendo was really thorough this time eh?
Just don’t play pirated or downloaded games and you’ll be fine
Nintendo already did this with the 3DS, but forgot to check whether the serial number matched the game you were playing. So you could use a single secret serial number (a private header) across all your games.
That doesn't answer my question, also it's not pirating, I'd use a copy of my own game, which I'd happen to sell some time later and perhaps someone would use it online later and get banned themselves. It's hard to imagine they have serial numbers hidden on every cartridge data but I guess it's not impossible and there have been people getting banned for using pirated (not self dumped) roms in the past.
Crazy, thanks for the information, well I guess it wouldn't trigger in my case but if you use pirated ROMs you got from some site that are mass distributed they for sure are getting flagged. Begs the question though, why Nintendo wouldn't bake in that data into their firmware updates for "stability" reasons, so those pirated rom copies cause an immediate ban, even when you're offline/have the Nintendo IPs blocked. That's what I'd do in their stead
If you sell your carts, and somebody else is playing that game online while you are also playing online, then yes you both can be banned.That doesn't answer my question, also it's not pirating, I'd use a copy of my own game, which I'd happen to sell some time later and perhaps someone would use it online later and get banned themselves.

Begs the question though, why Nintendo wouldn't include a ban into the software updates for those pirated rom copies, so they can ban switches even when they're offline/have the Nintendo IPs blocked. That's what I'd do
From what I read from others it would be also a ban if you didn't play, by just having the game on the cart and inserted, so an IP block would be needed. It's more of a theoretical question, trying to understand how they do things. I'd use the mig switch for convenience reasons mainly, not having to take 10+ switch games with me on the go, which I could also lose. I have a launch switch which I can use for dumping my own carts, so I probably wouldn't need to get that expensive dumper from them.
No need to when you have telemetry. You play a pirated game, it's logged, and whenever you next connect the banhammer strikes.Begs the question though, why Nintendo wouldn't bake in that data into their firmware updates for "stability" reasons, so those pirated rom copies cause an immediate ban, even when you're offline/have the Nintendo IPs blocked.

Don't use public dumps, don't sell your carts and you will be safe.
not only a unique serial number, A UNIQUE CERTIFICATE, which can be traced down by the ninjas.
damn, so if they wanted to, they could even lock cartridge based games to your account, like they do with online purchases. Hope they don't get any bad ideas for the Switch 2 then, that would kill the used game market. But I guess they wouldn't go that far.
No because it is required to have the Disk inserted to play.
You are also required to have your carts inserted to play a switch game though? Yet they made those extra security measures. Seems like Nintendo learned from the past.
