You could just put it in airplane mode to get the same effect.

How do you play any new game? You need an internet connection to download games as the majority wont be true physical games anymore (the cartridge is a "key-card").

Your console is banned from connecting to Nintendo's services (apparently not for the console updating service, as users from gbatemp.net have figured out), so you won't be able to play the majority of the Switch 2's library, even when purchasing a game legally.

How you play online until then?

You don't, unless there are unofficial servers to connect to. This hypothetical console is banned anyway, so you're being forced to pirate to actually use it.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
