Alright, so picture this: NWS2U.com just went kaput. Boom. Gone. U.S. authorities stepped in like some sort of gaming superhero squad. This was the spot if you were sneaky enough to be downloading free games for your Nintendo Switch without handing over your hard-earned cash. But hey, don’t go typing the URL now, unless you really wanna see a fancy new page with those serious-looking logos of the U.S. Justice Department, the FBI, and the Dutch FIOD, which sounds like the name of a band I once saw at some underground club. Wild night.
So, basically, the official memo on the page booms, “Yo, this site’s been snatched up by the FBI under some official court mumbo jumbo from Georgia.” I mean, if you’re out there trying to pirate Switch games on a hacked console, you’re gonna have to do some extra sleuthing now. Feels like a scene from a heist movie, right?
Now, Nintendo, bless their hearts, they’ve got this tight grip on their games. Seriously, these folks have no chill. They even yank users for tinkering with Mig Flash, although they own the dang ROMs. I wonder if they have a special team just for this? They’ve blocked third-party USB-C hubs too, leaving only their official stuff working like some kind of digital bouncer. It’s so bananas that even the Brazilian government, yes Brazil, is side-eyeing their contracts. Classic Nintendo, right? Though, they’re not complete villains—seems they sometimes let folks off the hook if they can prove they’re not pirates. Like, oops, sorry for the misunderstanding, Nintendo!
Oh, but you gotta hear this—Switch 2? It’s killing it out there! Outsold the original first-month numbers by a million. Take that, nostalgia! The exclusives keep gamers glued to the screen, but let’s be real, in terms of sheer muscle, it’s still lagging behind those big boys like the Steam Deck. But who needs brute force when you’ve got charm, huh?
