Verified Evidence: resolved · Fact Lock: locked · QA: pass
TwistedVoxel reported that Nintendo was blocking access to SmileBASIC 4 and Civilization VII on Nintendo Switch 2 devices running firmware version 23.0.1.

The outlet characterized the reported restriction as an apparent remote blacklist affecting both games. The supplied report does not establish how the alleged blocking works or how broadly it applies.

TwistedVoxel’s report does not provide a reason for the alleged restriction, and the supplied material includes no official confirmation from Nintendo. The status of the report therefore remains unconfirmed.
