They banned everyone. Reviewers, pirates, and people who got carts early. The literly took the entire list of people online and banned them.
damn! I better check to see if I have E-shop access then. I'm guessing they are taken down videos too pulling this stunt

As long as you didn't play online your safe.
I would recommend you backup your saves and delete the game until it comes out in your region
yeah im safe still can access Eshop only did a link trade to my other 3ds, but it doesnt have a Nin ID lol I wonder if my save will work with a cartridge game
Its the only thing preventing me from buying 1 now

I played it... While I was online... But I didn't play online modes in the game. No ban yet, I can access eShop and friend list fine.

Even if you didn't play online, you are NOT safe.
I NEVER played Pokemon Sun or Moon online at all. I never connected to any of the Sun or Moon servers. Just having the 3DS connected to the internet must have been just enough to warrant a perm-ban.

I DO have a NNID tied with the new3DS that was banned, so that could be what flagged the system.

If you have a NNID associated with the system, do NOT have your 3DS connected online AT ALL or you could be banned.

Are you sure no one else took your 3DS and played online? Afaik nobody that got the leaked game and didn't played online haven't been banned. I still can access online games / services (ACNL , ORAS, Youtube) and eShop with my 3DS and i haven't played online

Not a single ban from those with wifi on.
By safe I meant you are not banned. I stated to delete and back the saves of the games.

I am the only one that uses my new3DS.
I have no other siblings.
I never connected to Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon's servers.
My 3DS was connected to the internet when I was screen capturing Pokemon Moon when I was using NTR Viewer/NitroStream and sent the Memory Patch. Outside of that my Friends List settings was: Show Online Status, DO NOT show game currently playing.
I have a NNID associated with my 3DS. I cannot play any games online, and I cannot access Miiverse.

@xtheman166 I had my Wi-Fi on, and NEVER played Pokemon Moon or Sun online AT ALL. Yet I was banned. Care to explain? Perhaps Nintendo just decided to ban me out of the blue for no reason?

(I believe that you got banned btw, im just asking because im really curious)
Have you hacked online on XY / MK7? (Even through in MK7 you dont get banned, i say this as experience since i hacked FTL there).
Did you used Local Multiplayer ?

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And I also have my ps3
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
