GN Version 5.0

Last week news came in of Super Mario Odyssey players uploading inappropriate images to the game through hacked/modified systems. Nintendo was made aware of the situation quite quickly, and stepped in to squash those issues. The company has now released a statement saying they're outright banning people who take part in these activities.

A very small number of consumers have been using modified Nintendo Switch systems to display inappropriate or unauthorized material in certain online games. Nintendo always strives to provide a positive experience for all consumers and this includes continuously monitoring all threats to its products’ security and taking swift and strong action to prevent them. Modified Nintendo Switch systems have been banned.
