Playing personal game “backups” could get your Switch 2 banned by Nintendo

Nintendo seems able to detect use of Mig Flash carts, which can also help enable piracy.

Banning someone for using their own backup would be a violation of the law. Should be interesting to see Nintendo dragged into court over this.

Nintendo certainly thinks they are in the clear here

The number of people who are using a MIG like the people supposedly are doing in this article are in the extreme minority. Like lets be frank here and acknowledge that MIGs are generally used for piracy in some capacity.

The fact that MIGs are universally looked as piracy tools by Nintendo shouldn't then shock anybody.

Also I find it funny that the usual anti-Nintendo trolls are out using this as another data point against Nintendo. As if Sony and MS let you make "backups" of physical discs and use them on their consoles right?

While piracy is probably the overwhelming use for Mig Flash as a whole, I think there are a significant number of people who like owning physical Switch games but don't want to have to carry around/swap a bunch of game cards on the go, and the Mig Flash would be legitimately useful for that use case.
