Honestly, it’s kind of wild, right? This MIG Flash thingy or whatever—it used to go by MIG-Switch—has somehow managed to wiggle its way into working with the Nintendo Switch 2. Like, there’s no big announcement or anything from the folks at X. Just a little teaser sneaking in like, “Oh hey, compatible with Switch 2. No biggie.” It’s almost as if, I dunno, they want to keep it hush-hush? But then bam—it’s on their official listing. Go figure.
Now, rewind to last year. They drop this MIG Flash, which basically lets you pretend you’ve got an actual Nintendo game cartridge. So sneaky! You pop your games onto a microSD, slide it in, and voila—your Switch believes the lie. It’s kind of brilliant but also sketch, ya know? They say it’s meant for folks wanting backups of their own games, or those aspiring game devs dipping their toes in the water. Yet, somehow it’s sliding into pirate hands. Color me shocked (not really).
At first, when they launched, people grumbled about incompatibility. But now, somehow, it’s like magic! It works on the Switch 2. They even showed off a demo—booting up some Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom—but yeah, don’t hold your breath on the speed. It crawled. But who cares when you can now plug ‘n play with the new MIG Flash V2? Their words, not mine.
Anyway—wait, where was I? Ah, firmware update. Seems like that’s how they slipped past Nintendo’s new hurdles meant to stop such antics. Don’t get your hopes up on dumping Switch 2 games though. Legal or not, it ain’t happening yet. Rumors are flying about some userland exploit but, honestly, it’s limited. Like finding an oasis that’s… actually a mirage.
Can we talk reality? Sure, this MIG Flash might give pirates a leg up—playing OG Switch games on the new hardware—but at what cost? The lurking doom of a ban hammer. Each Nintendo cartridge has a unique ID, and if they catch you sharing… well, let’s just say Nintendo doesn’t play nice. Your console could end up as useful as a brick. And who wants that?
Oh, and if you’re into staying in the loop with juicy tech bits, following Tom’s Hardware might be worth it. They’re throwing news into your feeds like candy out of a piñata. But that’s a whole other story.
