Nintendo Switch 2 Account Bans Persist — Content Creator with 1M+ Subs Warns After eBay Purchase of Bayonetta 3

Okay, so here’s the scoop: Quinn Nelson, the brains behind Snazzy Labs (yep, that YouTube channel), just hit a bump with his Switch 2. And all because of an old game—Bayonetta 3, to be exact. Apparently, buying used games isn’t as chill as we thought. Anyway, Quinn snagged a copy from eBay, thinking it was a score. But nope. The console’s now on Nintendo’s naughty list.

His Switch’s basically gone rogue. All thanks to what was likely a pirated game issue. Gotta love when things blow up in your face, right? Anyway—wait, so yeah, Nintendo wasn’t amused. The Switch is blacklisted, all online access cut. Not just the game, mind you. Imagine having your fancy one-month-old console suddenly grounded. Ouch.

Quinn blasted a PSA on Twitter (you’re welcome, fellow gamers), saying, “Seriously, watch out buying used Switch games. My Switch 2 got BANNED ’cause of this eBay cart. Crossing fingers for Nintendo to forgive me.” And let me tell you, that’s a bummer. Heartfelt sob story right there.

Now, before you lose it, folks online reminded him that this kinda stuff’s not unheard of. If you’re innocent (truly, no shenanigans), Nintendo might help. Just show them the receipts—quick paper trail or some screenshots could save you from this tech nightmare. Who knew game shopping required detective work, huh?

Oh, side note! Quinn’s made headlines for dabbling in MIG Flash game dumping, trying to haul around his game stash conveniently. Mix of good intentions and bad luck, I guess. One tweet even came back to haunt him—“Hoping my MIG Flash dumps don’t blow up my Switch 2. Best way to cart all physical games without bans.” Irony’s a real kicker.

Anyway, fingers crossed for Quinn. Nobody should have to baby their brand-new console like this. Not when you’re just trying to stay above board. Moral of the story: maybe double-check game cart origins next time? Or just stick to official sellers. Probably safer.
