Overview

• A recent firmware update from MIG Flash makers enabled the cartridge to load Switch 1 games on the new console.
• Nintendo’s May terms of service revision grants it authority to render devices partially or fully unusable for policy breaches.
• Several users report permanent console bans from online services after using the flash cartridge, even when playing legally backed-up games.
• Banned systems remain usable for offline play but lose access to the eShop, online multiplayer, updates and cloud saves.
• Nintendo sued the MIG Flash’s parent company in June 2024 and has stepped up enforcement to protect its copy-protection measures.
