Overview

• Procon-SP submitted a complaint on July 2 alleging that Nintendo’s updated Switch 2 EULA allows abusive, unexplained service cancellations forbidden under Brazilian regulations.
• The end-user license grants Nintendo authority to suspend online accounts, block eShop and multiplayer access or permanently brick consoles for suspected piracy.
• Brazilian consumer protections prohibit companies from cancelling services without justification, forming the basis of Procon-SP’s legal objection.
• With no formal Brazilian office, Nintendo of America has engaged a local law firm to assess the watchdog’s demands and prepare its official response.
• Reports of secondhand buyers receiving pre-bricked Switch 2 units highlight potential market harms and consumer risks posed by the console’s bricking policy.
