Some 3DS Modders Are Claiming That Nintendo Have Banned Them

It would seem that Nintendo have very recently banned some users in the 3DS modding community. Multiple reports on sites such as Reddit and GBAtemp.net have cropped up with modders stating that they’re receiving an Error Code 002-0102 — that says “access to online services has been restricted by Nintendo.” No official reason for the ban has been given. The Netflix, Hulu and Youtube apps on their systems are locked and cannot be used. Friend Lists have also reportedly been rendered unusable following the ban.

Although Nintendo are yet to release a statement for the recent banwave, the most likely reason for their action is to crack down on the use of unofficial homebrew and firmware on 3DS.

  1. Does anyone know if having a 3DS capture card installed affects this in any way? I’ve always thought of getting one and don’t know if they mod the actual code or anything to the system to make it work. If so, I guess I’ll pass on a capture card.

  3. im still not banned. yay! Doesnt matter regardless because no game is that worthwhile online unless you’re a big smash or MH fan

  4. I don’t when people mod things. It’s always nice to customize your devices. But when it comes to piracy and theft, then they are rightfully banned from using the 3DS. Piracy is such a disgrace.

  5. Can’t say I didn’t told anyone this would happen. Some people in a group having own Theme’s on their system and they said they can’t trace it in any way, I did warn them they eventually will, Well, Who doesn’t wants to listen has to see it for themselves then. Modding a system in any way not Permitted by the company is Illigal and this was to happen eventually. They are in their full right.

  6. King Kalas X3 {Greatness Awaits. This use to be something that awaited those for all consoles. It's sad it's mostly just a PS4 slogan these days. Maybe Nintendo will get back to that greatness with the Switch. Only time will tell.}

    Unless they are modding paid DLC into their games, this is bullshit on Nintendo’s part.

      This better just be a coincidence.
