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!

We got lucky in 2017, I suspect it'll be a good long while before the switch 2 gets hacked, specifically in an accessible way.

A hacked switch (or even switch 2 really, looking at the specs) is really just a shitty steam deck that can run Nintendo games natively.

I wouldn't recommend forking over 500 bucks for something you may be able to jailbreak one day, when 400 can get you more out of the box.
