So will Nintendo just stop selling the Switch 2 in California or actually pay someone to add a prompt and mark those systems specifically for California?

Doesn't the switch already ask for your date of birth on account creation? It seems one of the cases were they don't care, it's already there. I'm not going to factory reset a switch to test, but in don't think you can't even play without at least a local account, but I don't know for sure.

I don't know about the Switch 2, but I've been using my Switch offline since day one without issue. I think you do have to create a local "account", but I don't think it asks for age or anything, just a name and avatar.
