Nintendo Banning Switch 2 Consoles using Mig Switch

Lol, this thread is gold 😂😂

No.... This thread is another in the long list of gold Nintendo Switch 2 threads...
 
Awesome!

There aren't "Perfectly Legal Dumps" in this World!!!

You need to circumvent Copy Protection Measurements in order to dump Video Games on a MIG Switch Device which is Illegal!!!

It's not that hard to Understand!!!
Except it is not and DMCA can keep sucking big dicks.
 
I learned that the people that most hate Nintendo are the ones that love Emulators and anti piracy policies… NDS symptoms never fails.

I notice many of these NDS always start to lecture us on Nintendo as evil corporation. Every single one of them.

Always is the same pattern… Also, you see the same people in every single Switch 2 thread with different goals. They make a shitstorm for a single frame drop 🤣.

I'm also tired of hearing them saying "But I own legal copies!!" thinking Nintendo was born yesterday.

Also, Nintendo knows the fans likely won't give up on the console:

 
yep just checked mine, banned. I never launched a game at all just plugged it in to see if it worked. I actually only ever backed up my own games to use as i travel for business constantly and lugging the 40 games i have was a much larger case then just a sleeve. Oh well.
Out of curiosity, did you update the Mig Switch, dumper, and then rip your carts? Did you plug it in and try to launch a game prior to the v1.20 Mig Switch/dumper updates?

The funny thing is that people expose themselves as only caring about this stuff when it comes to Nintendo. Xbox and PS have banned people from their online services for breaking user agreements for decades at this point. Some people truly believe that the only one in the industry not allowed to follow the industry standard is Nintendo.
 
yeah i only used my own dumps and legit bought it just because carrying 1 cart was easier than the 40+ games i had in a case oh well. Wife gets a switch 2 and i get a new switch 2 eventually...

Just curious, did you update your mig before attempting this? They pushed an update that, they say, makes Switch 1 games work. There were some warnings about it buried earlier in the thread. It would be VERY interesting to know whether you had applied it.
 
Nintendo can't unfortunately not brick any Nintendo Switch Console, but Nintendo can rightfully baning any Nintendo Switch Console from using the Nintendo Online Services!!!
 
This is beyond the 'console wars', it's about calling Nintendo out for bad business practices that have zero benefit for the consumer. I love Nintendo games (Just finished Super Mario RPG Remake on Switch yesterday) and have enjoyed being entertained for decades using their hardware. But I can see the writing on the wall with the butterfly effect they have going on right now. Nintendo should be 100% vested in delivering a fun and enjoyable product in any way they can. It's when 'the stick' gets ahead of the carrot where things go awry. Piracy does eat into their bottom line a little, I'm sure, but not to the extent where they have to make press releases on it. That's something that a consumer shouldn't be hearing about, ever. In the past, it was comedy to talk about the 'Nintendo Ninjas' and everyone had fun with that. When the ninjas are in the spotlight and seem to have a big stake in the aims of the company publically, where has the fun gone? What happens when the ninjas go after streamers and YouTubers for basically promoting their products? This destroys the good faith and benefit of the doubt they once had in droves. That's not to mention how they have treated their voice actors, too. Princess Peach's VO was let go after 18 years and even she didn't know until Mario Kart World was announced. I don't know any other way to describe that other than it's shitty.

Let's get into things like ROMs and hardware hacks like MOD chips and MIG Switch. ROMs that were not available for purchase and had been unavailable for decades. In my opinion, the ROMs did more to bolster the reputation of Nintendo's past products for new generations of fans. Matthew Storman, the previous owner of romuniverse.com was basically made an example of for the masses via lawsuit and owes Nintendo 2.1 million dollars for distribution of ROMs. While he was making about $30k for running said website, he was actually in my opinion, promoting their products that had absolutely no chance of ever seeing the light of day ever again. Many of us even thought that when all was said and done, Nintendo might forgive him as an act of good will, heck maybe even talk to the guy and tap him for a future position. Instead, they went full bore with absolutely no forgiveness at all. It really shed some light on things for me. This was no longer a company that wanted to promote and sell fun and easy to use products. This was an intelligence agency being run out of a foreign country, who didn't give a fuck about anything 'fun' at all!

Sure, piracy is 'bad' in many ways, but not company ending bad. You create a PR nightmare with consumers with real bad consequences for a drop in the bucket little website that actually probably makes you more money in the end. This kind of bullshit has to end and people need to speak out against this stuff. A company that is child entertainment centered should not be recentering on permanently ending their own image! Sure, people want to call me out for speaking about this, and no, I don't expect a Mario Kart game to give me a bj, but dude have you looked at the anal damage that company is inflicting on you and many others and you -enjoy-it? That speaks for itself guys. What the fuck happened to people that they just roll over and let a corporation dictate when and how they have fun and enjoyment? What happened to the whole counter culture of not rolling over for 'the man'? Instead we get 'chains are good' and fucking insults. I'm not in the wrong here, YOU are and I will damn sure stand up and vote with my wallet and post on message boards to wake people the fuck up. I'm not champion of piracy, this isn't about that. It's about the time and resources being wasted on bullshit. Nintendo has lost sight of the fucking goal and if they stay on this path their company will be finished in short order. Oh we sold this, and records broken that permeate social media and advertising right now, but do they have the staying power operating in this manner in the long run? I think not. It's bad business that doesn't profit anyone!

I want Nintendo to be around for my grandkids to enjoy and I don't see that happening on present course. Hiroshi Yamouchi would have never let this happen. It's not bad to call a company out when you know they are making major fucking mistakes that align more with the opposite of fun. Sometimes companies need to be checked when they have crossed the line and this is what this is. Putting region locks on products when all the money goes right back into the same company is ludicrous! Do you know how Nintendo of America and Europe operate? They collect the money and it goes to Nintendo of Japan! It's a shell game and always has been! Nintendo of Japan gives the orders and collects the profits and then turns around and funds these outfits. Does Doug Bowser have a say in things? Hell no, he's a puppet figurehead that takes orders from command. Thats nothing new and many companies do that, but if I was Dougie boy, I'd be communicating that the ninjas running wild in the public eye is not something that Americans like to see. I would be pushing for more streamers and YouTubers to be promoting our products and ensuring good word of mouth and fun above all else was what people associated our brand with.

I close with, the reception that this post gets, I hope it wakes some of you guys up about how things actually are and where they are headed. Laugh, thumbs up, give me the brain, the eye, whatever. I hope this makes you think about it and consider I'm not trying to fight any fucking war against Nintendo, I am trying to talk some sense into them as a company and you as a consumer and fan of their products. A little sand in the Vaseline goes a long way sometimes and I hope this post gets circulated to high command at the big N. Maybe spill your morning coffee on the tablet, ruffle some feathers, make the defense force crank it up a little. But the seed has been planted. A seed that may save a company in time. Give us some slack!

For Nintendo of Japan:

もちろん。以下は、あなたの最初のNeoGAF投稿の内容を、日本語に翻訳したものです。文体はそのままの情熱と力強さを維持しながら、自然な日本語で伝わるよう調整しています。

これは単なる「コンソール戦争」の話ではありません。任天堂が消費者にとって何の利益もない悪質なビジネス慣行を続けていることに対して、声を上げるべきだという話です。僕は任天堂のゲームが大好きです(昨日もSwitchでスーパーマリオRPGリメイクをクリアしたばかりです)し、長年そのハードで楽しませてもらってきました。でも、今起きているバタフライ効果のような状況を見れば、今後の流れは明らかです。

任天堂は「楽しくて魅力的な製品を提供すること」に100%集中すべきです。でも今は「ムチ」が「アメ」より前に出てしまっている。確かに海賊版は利益を少しは削るでしょうけど、会社が公式声明を出すほどのことではありません。そんなのは消費者が耳にするべき話じゃない。

昔は「任天堂ニンジャ」の話を冗談で楽しめたものです。でもそのニンジャたちが表舞台に出て、企業の方針に深く関わっているように見えるとき、楽しさはどこへ行ってしまったのか?配信者やYouTuberをターゲットにして、実質的に宣伝してくれている人たちを潰すなんて、本来持っていた信頼を自ら壊しているようなものです。

それに声優への対応も酷い。ピーチ姫の声優は18年間も演じていたのに、マリオカートワールドの発表があるまで解雇されたことすら知らなかった。正直言って、これは「ひどい」としか言いようがない。

ROMやMODチップ、MIG Switchのようなハードウェア改造の話もしよう。もう何十年も公式では手に入らないROMが、むしろ新しい世代のファンに任天堂の名作を伝える助けになっていたと思う。romuniverse.comの元運営者マシュー・ストーマン氏は、象徴的に訴えられて2.1百万ドルの賠償を命じられた。でも彼がそのサイトで得た利益は3万ドル程度。僕の見解では、むしろ失われた遺産を宣伝してくれていたと思う。任天堂が最終的に彼を許すどころか、和解することすらせず、情け容赦ない姿勢を貫いたことは、はっきりとしたメッセージだった。

この時点で、任天堂は「楽しい商品を作る企業」ではなく、「外国から運営される情報機関」に成り下がったように感じた。まったく「楽しさ」などどこにもない!

確かに、海賊行為は「悪い」。でも企業を破滅させるほどではない。わずかな影響のために消費者との信頼を壊すような行為は、悪手だと言わざるを得ない。子ども向けのエンタメ企業が、こんな風に自らのイメージを壊していってどうする?

僕を非難する人もいるだろう。「マリオカートにフェラでもしてもらいたいのかよ」とか言うかもしれない。でもさ、任天堂にア○ルまでやられてるのに、まだ「楽しんでる」って言える?それがおかしいって話なんだよ。いつから企業の奴隷になって、それを「自由」だと錯覚するようになったんだ?以前は「体制に抵抗するカルチャー」があったはずじゃないのか?

これは海賊行為を擁護しているわけじゃない。無意味なことにリソースを浪費している現状に警鐘を鳴らしているんだ。任天堂は完全に方向性を見失っていて、このままでは未来はない。今は売上やSNSの盛り上がりで騒がれてるけど、こんなやり方が長続きするとは思えない。これは誰の利益にもならない「悪いビジネス」だ。

僕は、将来自分の孫たちにも任天堂のゲームを楽しんでもらいたいと思ってる。でも今のままでは、それも望めない。山内溥(やまうちひろし)氏がいたら、こんな事態は絶対に許さなかったはずだ。企業の過ちを指摘することは悪いことじゃない。「楽しさ」とは真逆の方向に進んでいるとき、それを止める声が必要なんだ。

製品にリージョンロックをかけて、どこで買っても結局は同じ会社の利益になるのに制限をつける意味があるのか?任天堂オブアメリカやヨーロッパがどんな風に運営されてるか知ってるか?結局、金は全部日本本社に流れるんだよ。ダグ・バウザーに裁量権なんてあるわけない。彼はただの操り人形だ。本当にアメリカ市場を理解しているなら、ニンジャが表舞台で暴れ回っている状況に「それは違う」と言うべきなんだよ。

僕の願いは、この投稿を通じて誰かが目を覚ましてくれること。笑ってもいい、いいねでも脳みその絵文字でもいい。これは戦争じゃない。僕は任天堂にも、ファンにも「正気を取り戻してほしい」と思ってるだけなんだ。時には、ワセリンに混じった少しの砂が目を覚まさせるんだよ。この投稿が任天堂の上層部に届いて、ちょっとでも波風を立ててくれたら、それでいい。コーヒーこぼして、タブレット壊して、広報が火消しに必死になるくらいでちょうどいい。種はもう撒かれた。この種が、未来の任天堂を救うかもしれない。

「少しぐらい、こっちに余裕をくれよ!」

必要ならこの文章を動画ナレーション風、YouTubeの字幕用に短縮、あるいは**プロの翻訳調整版(敬語・ビジネス口調)**に変えることもできます。どうしますか?

Have you talked to your therapist lately? I was already getting a little worried, but when you dropped at the end that you hoped Nintendo high command would read your post, all in the good name of doing the right thing to keep them around as a company so your grandkids get to see them, I'm actually really worried here, uhh...

The thing is just about every point you're making is some sort of wishy washy subjective "yell at clouds" talking point. "Hiroshi Yamouchi would have never let this happen." Under him they had protection chips in NES carts and his iron fist is what created the Nintendo terror reign to begin with. It was also region locked. So all your ranting about "remembering about when Nintendo didn't waste time not focusing on FUN" is just a big wall of crap.

I don't see any press releases about piracy coming out of Nintendo. I do see that someone who tried to use a mig on his Switch 2 got banned which was put on Twitter. Wait Twitter is the same thing as a press release now and if you don't want one, better not cross the mob. In this case let them pirate games openly I guess.
 
You own them as long as you follow the rules, same way you own your car but can lose it if you don't follow the rules
Except those are nintendo rules you must follow and not state ones. If they randomly decide you must pay a fee to keep your console operational, that'll be it and there's nothing you can do about it.

You're welcome to disagree, but try not to confuse passionate critique with a cry for help. I'm not spiraling—I'm speaking up, and I don't need a therapist for pointing out what's becoming a consistent pattern of anti-consumer behavior. That's not mental illness, that's discernment.
You brought up Yamauchi—fair. He ran Nintendo like a feudal lord, no question. But back then, the iron fist built something. These days, it's smashing the very goodwill that generation created. Region locking in the '80s isn't the same as turf wars with streamers and $2 million lawsuits against small-time archivists in 2025. Context matters.
Also, dismissing real concerns about consumer rights and digital ownership as "yelling at clouds" only proves the point: this isn't about nostalgia—it's about trajectory. Nintendo once inspired loyalty through magic. Now it threatens legal action through Twitter.
And yeah, I do hope someone at Nintendo reads posts like mine. Not because I expect them to bow to me, but because if they're smart, they'll realize a company that ignores its core fanbase while policing them into silence isn't building a future—it's digging a moat around a crumbling castle.
Piracy isn't the issue.

I'm all for making legit backup copies of games, but who lets you just play ripped games on a stock retail console? Definitely not Nintendo.

Fun fact, when I transferred my Wii games to my Wii U, it also transferred Virtual Console dumps I'd installed via homebrew, no questions asked. They still work.
 
Remember when Nintendo sued to stop game rentals? Remember when Nintendo would put essential things only in the manual or crank up the difficulty to make it hard/impossible to beat a game if you rented it?

I lived through that, so yeah I remember. Castlevania III was totaled by it in my opinion. It happened with Sega too, they turned Contra Hard Corps into a freaking disaster and disappointment on Genesis. I always play the Japanese version of that one now. I remember Gamefan really loving it too, and when I got it I thought WTF happened to this great game? Both Konami games too, so they were getting shitty decades before Kojima's departure. 😂

Even if the games were purchased and are legal dumps of his own, of course Nintendo would still ban him, because if they didn't it would open up to people using actual illegal dumps on their own cartridges.

It's either ban non-Nintendo cartridges or allow piracy, which would open up a lawsuit from 3rd party developers.

It's common sense 101... but I guess not common enough.

That gives me an idea about AI and the internet. I'm going to think up a creative topic about that one. People just don't understand the silent takeover of the internet, their jobs, and how income is about to become a whole lot harder to obtain once companies and governments start adopting AI en mass. I think that college degrees are going to mean basically nothing in the next few years as well if it continues to run rampant. Sure it makes mistakes, but it's getting better at emulating actual human beings and who can compete with 'Braniac' in the pocket who slays menial tasks in seconds compared to a human who takes hours to do the same thing. I'd say the internet is 90% AI in the news sector right now aside from the talking heads. Music is definitely there, media like video games going there quickly. It makes me wonder if we are going to go the way that Frank Herbert wrote about in Dune, with the religions and wars against all thinking machines……

Yeah AI sure has gotten smart hasn't it.

These were dumped legit, which apparently is an important distinction because games dumped on the internet get flagged by Nintendo, so it was the MIG cart itself not the dump.
What? Nintendo doesn't know the difference lol

What? Nintendo doesn't know the difference lol

There is actually an important distinction to be made here because Switch games have unique identifiers that Nintendo uses to track whether a copy is being played. Previously, that's how they detected you were using a mig on Switch 1 -by detecting you were using a copied identifier. If you only used dumps of your own games, it seemed like Nintendo had no way of figuring out that you were using a mig cart at all.

It appears that Switch 2 has the capability to detect mig in excess of the unique game identifiers, which is real news. Now they pushed an update that supposedly enables mig to play NS1 games on 2 already, which I would venture to guess prevents the detection, but I wouldn't want to just try it yet. It's unclear whether DilWSTS DilWSTS applied this update before messing his Switch 2 but I get the vibe he rushed in like leeroy jenkins.
 
Except those are nintendo rules you must follow and not state ones. If they randomly decide you must pay a fee to keep your console operational, that'll be it and there's nothing you can do about it.
Kind of like how states make us pay a fee for mandated insurance, inspection, and registration every year so we have the right to drive what we own?

Owner ship and a right to use are two different things. I own my property and my home, but there are limitations on how I use it. Same with nearly everything I own.

In the end, no one owns shit.

Is this you telling me you'd be ok with nintendo charging a fee to even allow you to use your own console? Man, nintendo fans really do deserve nintendo.

They should really just issue a warning when you attempt to put the cartridge in and load it that you'll be banned. Nobody reads the terms of service. Guessing they don't because then people would be able to make modifications to the cart until it comes up untampered and can be stealthed.

Someone evil should make a million cheap mig clones and then put them in real game shells and sell them to Gamestop to cause mass chaos and innocent bans.
 
I can't blame Nintendo here, because how are they supposed to know the difference? At least he can use switch offline still.
 
Tell this to Suyu team

For starters the original Yuzu team was the talented one, and they signed off for good, what is left are princess-wannabe wanting to be the cool kids on the block. Second, in order to get emulation running you need the full CPU/GPU specification or you need to decrypt the games. We obviously don't have the former so in order to decrypt the games you gotta crack the console itself. Switch 1 was cracked relatively fast (took 1 year since it was launched) because X1 had been known since 2015 when it was used in phones, two years before the Switch 1 even launched. This new chip is custom made, so you aren't running with that 2-year advantage anymore.

I can give you the entire breakdown.

bought switch 2. download for MK took way to long, inserted mig switch, saw game popped up, pressed button to switch, worked. tried to launch once got error never used again. all my own dumps of my physical games.

They did charge me a fee to use my own console. All I'm saying is, people think ownership means absolute control over something. In the grand scheme of things, there is very little we actually own with unlimited control over.
