In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely.

Nintendo is Nintendoing again!

    Been thinking of getting a used Switch Mini exclusively to solder in a chip and use it as a nice emulation handheld. As long as it doesn’t rat itself out over Bluetooth or something to its older brother gathering dust behind the tv (which has never been touched by the light of piracy), I should still be good I guess.

    It’s unfortunate, but what I’m actually worried about is that world where different devices will report on each other.

      Just get a proper emulation handheld. It won’t have Joycon’s that will drift in 12 months. The Switch doesn’t do anything special versus an emulation handheld. There are a million to choose from at every price point.
