Oh boy, Reddit is at it again—this time with a juicy scoop about Mig Flash. So, this random user, let’s call them… I dunno, Alex, claims that the new update 1.2.2 works like a charm. No bans from Nintendo’s online funhouse. Apparently, Alex went all out—”ripped 20 carts,” whatever that means, and flaunted them all online. Yet, not a peep from the Nintendo ban hammer. But hang on, other folks are whispering that this luck won’t last. They say Nintendo’s just biding its time, ready to pounce. Reminds me of when my cat stalks imaginary prey. But anyway.
Here’s the thing: Mig Flash is this third-party cart for the Switch and Switch 2. You can back up your games legally—sure, makes sense—but isn’t it just serving piracy on a golden platter too? Nintendo didn’t take long. Just a couple of weeks after the Switch 2 debuted, they slapped down any consoles using these flash carts, even if you’re just backing up your stuff. Talk about harsh, right?
So, Mig Flash dropped a firmware update on July 1, claiming it made them “virtually undetectable.” Sounds like sci-fi, huh? Then, bam! Another twist: they throw out update 1.2.2, saying they patched some bug from 1.2.1. There’s even a bounty in the mix. Someone snagged a juicy 0.2 ETH for finding the glitch. No clue about ETH? It’s some crypto thing. But anyway, that’s over $600. And yet, the company’s all, “Use it at your own risk.” Feels like walking a tightrope blindfolded.
Meanwhile, people are getting burned left and right. Someone grabs a used game off eBay, plays it, and bam! Account banned. Imagine buying something fair and square only to get punished. Some content creator bought an old game, and suddenly it’s ban-ville. Nintendo bans but, thankfully, reverses if they think you didn’t mess up on purpose. Not so for Mig Flash users, though, ’cause, you know, rules are rules.
So, whether this bold Reddit user is onto something or just skating on thin ice… it’s all a gamble. Best not to poke the dragon, I say. Or the cat in my case.
