- Nintendo is banning Switch 2 consoles that use MIG flash carts to load games.
- These can be used for both piracy and legitimate game preservation efforts.
- Bans seem limited to consoles for now, with no account-wide bans reported.
Nintendo has been at war with pirates for decades, and now the battleground has moved to the Switch 2. A wave of users across the internet are reporting console bans after inserting MIG flash carts into the system, with no recourse available.
MIG flash carts are essentially third-party cartridges with a microSD card slot. They can play pirated games downloaded from the internet or legitimate backups of purchased games, but Nintendo no longer discriminates between the two when issuing bans.
