Man, so there’s this whole thing about NWS2U.com getting yanked down by the U.S. authorities, right? If you haven’t heard, it used to be the spot for grabbing pirated Switch games. Like, if you wanted to play without coughing up cash, this was your destination. Now, you visit and bam! You’re greeted by logos of the FBI, DOJ, and this Dutch thing called FIOD. Didn’t expect that when you woke up today, huh?
So the page basically screams, “This site’s toast,” and mentions something about a seizure warrant tied to some U.S. code, I think. And for folks into the whole jailbroken Switch scene? Yeah, finding ROMs just turned into a wild goose chase. Makes me wonder who’s next.
Now, let’s talk about Nintendo. Oh boy, do they protect their stuff. Rumor has it they’ve booted folks caught with “Mig Flash,” and they’re super picky about what plugs into their gear. Only official stuff like their dock and a few others work. I heard they’re even eyeing a Brazilian court showdown over their strict rules. But hey, they’re not all bad—if you were just caught in the crossfire, they might even lift a ban. It’s like getting a second chance, only this time without the shady downloads.
And have you seen the Switch 2 sales? It’s nuts. Outselling the first one by a million units over a weekend, no kidding. Sure, it’s got its charms and exclusives, but not without competition. Steam Deck, ROG Ally X—they might flex more power, but there’s something about sticking with what you love, isn’t there? Like wearing your favorite old sneakers over the fancy new ones.
Anyway, if you want the latest scoop or reviews, they say you should follow Tom’s Hardware. It’s one of those things you tell yourself you’ll do and then forget about as soon as you close the tab. Still, could be worth it.
