Nintendo Switch Flash Cart MIG-Switch First Review Highlights Some Critical Issues

The Nintendo Switch flash cart MIG-Switch has yet to hit the market, but if it does in its current condition, it could have a significant impact on the second-hand market due to how it tricks the console into identifying backups as legit cartridges.

Over the weekend, Taki Udon shared the flashcart's first review on YouTube, highlighting its functionalities and more. As mentioned above, it's how the flash cart makes the console identify backups as legit copies of any game that could impact the second-hand market, as it uses a real copy unique ID. This could lead to people purchasing games to dump them and their unique IDs and then resell them, resulting in a game with the same ID being played at the same time on different consoles. As the flash cart is not yet available for purchase, things are still safe for the time being, but once the MIG-Switch is out, getting a console banned for playing a second-hand game could be a real possibility.
