The next step is OAuth authorization with your Nintendo Account. From here
all requests require a client certificate, so a ban on a Nintendo Account
can be associated with any hardware that logs in with that account.
Next AAuth, or Application Authorization, is performed to ensure the console
actually owns the game whose online services is being connected to. Using a
client ID from DAuth a certificate is send to the `/application_auth_token`
endpoint. There are two possible cases:
Gamecards: `application_id=%016llx&application_version=%08x
&device_auth_token=%.*s&media_type=GAMECARD&cert=%.*s`, where `cert` is
retrieved using `GetGameCardCertificate` on the console [14]. That
certificate is signed at manufacture using a Nintendo-known private key
with RSA-2048.
Digital games: `application_id=%016llx&application_version=%08x
&device_auth_token=%.*s&media_type=DIGITAL&cert=%.*s&cert_key=%.*s`. Digital
game "tickets" contain the Title ID of the game, Device ID of the hardware
and the Nintendo Account ID that purchased it. Once again the ticket is
signed at purchase using a Nintendo-known private key with RSA-2048.
Finally, for us, BAAS is performed to ensure the console has an active
Nintendo Switch Online subscription. `id=%016x&password=%s&appAuthNToken=%s`
is posted to `/1.0.0/login` [15] where the `id` and `password` are located
in system save 8000000000000010 (Account) [16] and `appAuthNToken` is the
token returned from AAuth. The returned ID Token, as well as the 16 hex
digit user ID, is the final set of data used for authentication to the game
server directly. Both the DAuth and ID token have an expiration which
requires periodic reauthentication.
While some of these endpoints have changed since the release of the Nintendo
Switch in 2017, the set of data needed to forge console requests has stayed
the same:
* Unbanned and hacked hardware
* Purchased game
* Active Nintendo Switch Online subscription

At this point the Nintendo Switch no longer has a console-wide network
protocol. Luckily, however, most games on the Switch [17] use a protocol
released for the 3DS based on the licensed protocol Quazal Rendez-Vous [18].
The protocol, named NEX, operates off of a number of "protocols" which each
contain a number of methods. While Quazal Rendez-Vous provides a set of
common protocols that are shared between all games, and even some Ubisoft
games, the protocols with the relevant ability to query data are all custom
to Nintendo [19].
The protocol in use by my custom client is ID 115, or DataStore. This
protocol is largely about uploading, modifying and querying objects
(binaries), with some metadata as well as authorization checks [20]. Super
Mario Maker 2 adds many additional methods that return packed protobufs in
little endian.
