Wow, so, NWS2U.com got zapped off the internet by U.S. authorities, you know, one of those popular hangouts for getting pirated Switch games? Imagine this place where folks went to grab games without coughing up cash, sticking ’em onto those hacked Switch gizmos or maybe emulators. Kinda wild, right? Now if you wander over there—it’s like, boom, there’s a big ol’ message with government logos shouting about the FBI and some Dutch service called the FIOD jumping in on this. Quite the showstopper.
The notice is all “Hey, we grabbed this site under some fancy legal mumbo jumbo—18 U.S.C. §§ 2323, if you’re keeping score—authorized by a court in Georgia. Thanks to all this, downloading those juicy ROMs just got trickier for anyone with a tricked-out Switch or whatever.” Gotta love how Nintendo fiercely guards its stuff. Like a mother hen with serious attitude.
Speaking of that, if you’re dabbling in something like, um, Mig Flash, you’re on their radar. Even those cheeky USB-C hubs aren’t safe—only Nintendo’s own Switch 2 Dock or some Antank S3 Max TV Dock gets a pass for now. But hey, watch out, a firmware update could crash that party anytime. Even the Brazilian government’s poking at their strict rules in some agreement. But Nintendo’s been lenient if you’re just tangled in some scam. Fingers crossed, right?
Oh, and the Switch 2? It’s a runaway hit, zipping past the original’s launch sales by over a million units. It’s like everyone wants in for those exclusive games, like they’re the coolest thing since, I dunno, everything? Sure, it lacks the muscle of a heavy hitter like the Steam Deck but who’s counting, really?
Anyway, if you want to hang with Tom’s Hardware on Google News, go on, hit follow. Keep your finger on the pulse, as they say.
