The Switch 2 hasn’t even been out for a month yet, but Nintendo is already taking strong measures to make sure pirates can’t use the company’s new console. Switch 2 owners are sharing stories online that their systems have been banned after using a third-party cartridge that some players have reportedly used for illegal ROMs.
As reported by The Verge, Nintendo has been targeting systems that have used a MIG Switch cartridge, which can store ROMs that were either illicitly obtained or downloaded from players’ personal libraries. Nintendo doesn’t appear to have drawn a distinction about how the ROMs ended up in players’ hands. If Nintendo detects the MIG Switch, the consoles in question are banned from going online forever.
