Sure thing, here we go:
—
So, there’s this gadget called the MIG Flash. Used to be the MIG-Switch — who knows why they changed the name? Well, the big news is, it’s now apparently playing nice with the Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah, you heard that right. There was this tiny tease from some team on X (formerly Twitter? I can’t keep up). Their official blurb even says: “Compatible with Switch 2”. Sounds kinda mysterious because they’re not spilling the beans on how they managed it. Probably some firmware magic.
The MIG Flash dropped last year and it’s kinda like a chameleon. It pretends to be a real Nintendo Switch cartridge to make your console run game backups from a microSD. Handy for the folks who wanna keep their games safe or the budding devs trying to make Switch 2 dreams come true. But let’s be real here — pirates got their mitts on it too. I mean, not shocking, right?
Anyways, even though it didn’t work with the Switch 2 at first, they seem to have breached Nintendo’s fortress of protections. On X, they showed The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom running right from the MIG Flash, though man, did it take forever to load. They’re already shouting about a MIG Flash V2 on their site with a “plug & play” promise. Fancy, huh?
So, likely they jimmied a firmware update to slip past the newer checks from Nintendo. You can’t run Switch 2 backups yet, in case you’re wondering — not that I’m suggesting anything illegal here! There’s gossip about some sort of exploit, but it’s apparently as useful as a chocolate teapot.
Okay, elephant time. While pirates might fancy the idea of using the MIG Flash to play OG Switch games on the new hardware, it’s risky business. Every Switch cartridge has a magic sprinkle or something — a unique identifier, really. Nintendo’s got the tech to catch when multiple consoles dance with the same ID. Bam! You’re flagged for piracy and then, goodbye account, or worse — a bricked console. Yikes.
Anyway, follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News for the real scoop. Hit that Follow button. Or don’t, I’m not your boss.
