Sure, so here’s the deal. There’s this whole drama brewing over on Reddit about this thing called Mig Flash. Honestly, never thought I’d be deep diving into game cartridges, but here we are. So, a user over there claims, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, that since update 1.2.2, they haven’t been kicked off Nintendo’s online services. They’ve been using this third-party game cartridge, like, a lot. Apparently, they’ve “ripped 20 carts” and no problems so far. Maybe they’re just lucky? Or maybe Nintendo’s waiting to pounce. Who knows?
Mig Flash, by the way, is this nifty gadget for the Nintendo Switch and its sequel. It lets you cram multiple games onto a single card. Handy, right? But—surprise—it makes piracy easier too. So Nintendo’s been on a warpath about it. They started axing Switch 2 consoles that used it pretty soon after the console hit the market. I heard it took them only about 12 days. Those guys don’t mess around with their stuff.
Anyway, there’s this shout-out to a Reddit post. Gloriously anonymous, someone still gloating about being ban-free. There’s a firmware update from July 1 they’re talking about, claiming it makes the cart blend in with real ones. And wait, they found a glitch in update 1.2.1, and there was a follow-up fix on July 9. Sneaky updates everywhere!
Listen, someone found that glitch and scored 0.2 ETH as a reward. Not bad, eh? That’s over $600. But hey, even after forking over the cash, the folks behind Mig Flash are like, “Use at your own risk.” Seems a bit, I don’t know, sketchy?
And oh boy, people have gotten slapped with bans for using this or selling games they backed up with Mig Flash. Worse yet, innocent buyers on eBay have gotten caught in the crossfire. Banned accounts? Just for buying previously flashed games? It’s a bit of a mess. Nintendo might swing the ban hammer if they catch you with Mig Flash, even if you prove you’re innocent. Some dodged the bullet, like our Reddit friend, but they’re walking on thin ice. I mean, one wrong move, and they fall right through.
So, just a heads-up if you’re thinking about pulling a fast one with the Mig Flash. Better be ready to play by Nintendo’s rules or deal with the consequences. Fun times in the gaming world, right? Who knew cartridges could be this thrilling?
