Nintendo apologists are already denying the undeniable

"It's not bricked, because you can still turn it on and browse the settings app, see the available WiFi networks in your area and other fun options like that. You just can't play game key cards or all the games that require a day one patch, but except that, it's definitely not bricked"

Been seeing some of that as well, so I looked it up myself. The actual text of the EULA states:

"You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.”

That's a brick. They haven't actually done it to anyone yet, but they've reserved their rights.
