Homebrew I called Nintendo about 022-2812...

We're all allowed to be optimistic, I guess, but those of you thinking these bans are temporary really need to step away from the crack pipe. Think of how many Black Friday New 3DSes would be returned to stores at the start of the month if the bans were temporary? Nintendo would have some very angry stockholders and retail partners to answer to. If you have a purchase receipt from before you connected you might have some official recourse, but the other 99.99% of us need to suck it up and move on.

My brothers moon order just got sent out this morning from the actual nintendo uk store obviously its going to arrive well before the 23rd, does that mean he could possibly get a ban

Just have him stay offline til then

I have told him that

Just seems cruel for Nintendo to give him the game early and then ban his console for using it early :0

It is, but that's really an issue with that individual store for not taking into account shipping times.

Dear nintendo I'm currently banned on my n3ds for playing pokemon early I had a friend let me try his copy for a bit to be sure I wanted it and I did I didn't know I was going to get in trouble for it im very sorry. I'm currently waiting to pick up moon tomorrow. Plz find it in your heart to lift this ban I'm not rich and I can hardly afford a new n3ds much less games. If I must I will send a receipt and picture as proof. Plz reconsider times are tough..​

I can hardly afford a new n3ds much less games.​

Nintendo wants to sell games and nothing else, why the hell would they even consider unbanning you if you've admitted you're not capable of doing that in the future? No offense, but your "plea" is the kind of thing customer service agents share with each other for laughs.

that just means i can't afford it atm plus you don't want to sound loaded. either way it was worth a shot.

 

[Ericthegreat]

Wonder if I could blag an unban once my legit copy arrives, even though the date on the receipt will be after my ban date.

Photoshop Exist, maybe someone here will set up a service of sorts for people

im sure they can contact the store

 

[x65943]

im sure they can contact the store

And considering the backlash after several UK sellers released Pokemon X/Y early - they WILL contact the store

 

[SaffronXL]

plus you dont want to sound loaded

Why not? The only reason they would even consider unbanning anyone is the risk of missing out on future game sales to that person.

Also if your "friend" really loaned you a cartridge, you should send Nintendo pictures of that cartridge with a visible serial number and the purchase receipts showing a date before you connected, or if he's a reviewer I'm sure they'd appreciate knowing his name so they can punish him for being leaky. You gotta give them a lot more than just a promise to buy moon in the future.

they wont you can still buy the cart. and still use the internet eshop. either way we cant give a perfect story to cover ourselves mine was just to see what they'd say. it was a pretty bad story at that

 

[Ericthegreat]

im sure they can contact the store

I doubt they care that much.

 

[Raylight]

I doubt they care that much.

I wouldn't risk it

 

[Ericthegreat]

I wouldn't risk it

Risk what? Not like you distributed it.

 

[Raylight]

Risk what?

giving a fake receipt. If they do check the store and you come up they may take action.

What are you talking about.... There is no case there.

 

[SaffronXL]

Yeah sorry man it was worth a try, you're right there's no perfect story, I was working on a pretty complicated one involving a nephew in the hospital and it subsequently being stolen, but I realized the IP addresses would betray me.

yea we live in an age of information so one way or another they will find out.

you really not thinking this through are you? you really want to lie and risk the store taking action for you trying to get them in trouble?
