A Reddit user claims that update 1.2.2 for Mig Flash works, because they haven’t been banned from Nintendo’s online services despite using the third-party cartridge extensively. According to the Redditor, they “ripped 20 carts” and “played them all online”, and their Switch 2 console still works fine. However, other users say that it’s just a matter of time before they get banned, especially as the Japanese gaming giant is quite protective of its intellectual property.
The Mig Flash is a third-party reprogrammable game cartridge designed for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. It’s primarily used for backing up legally purchased games, and you can fit multiple titles on a single card, making playing multiple titles on the go much easier. But it can also make piracy much easier, and Nintendo cracked down on its use when the Switch 2 launched. In fact, it just took 12 days after the popular handheld console dropped for Nintendo to start nuking Switch 2 consoles that used the popular flash cart, even if users were dumping their own ROMs.
