It looks like the Nintendo Switch will soon hit a milestone in its life cycle. To this day, the switch remains one of the best consoles ever released. In fact, it was a top platform in 2023. Nintendo, too, is basking in this success and passing by the competition. But they had to take some grave steps to get here; they had to fight a bunch of hackers that were making the jailbreak of this hybrid console easier.

A number of people who made piracy on the Nintendo Switch possible were sued by Nintendo. It’s no surprise that the platform holder won those cases too. Effectively shutting their businesses. But it looks like another challenger is on the horizon.

It’s no secret Nintendo hates pirates. They do everything they can to make sure everyone involved in hacking their consoles or condoning hacking their consoles gets punished. They have proven this by suing numerous people in the past few years. Those who hosted websites with Nintendo ROMs and those who found ways to jailbreak their consoles.

They had to increase these efforts tenfold in the case of the Nintendo Switch. This is one of their most successful consoles, and it is only natural for them to be more protective. But it appears that after stopping a number of challenges, trouble seems to keep finding Nintendo’s address.

Once again, someone has found a way to make it easier for hackers to run games on the Nintendo Switch without purchasing one. This time, it would be much more destructive for Nintendo than ever before. It appears people will now be able to run games with much ease. Someone has created a flash cart for the Nintendo Switch. This card allows hackers to simply copy a bunch of games onto a memory card. Then plug that card into the flash cart and start playing. This means it would run on every firmware and hardware of the Nintendo Switch out there.

It looks like after spending years opening the consoles and soldering chips into them, the hackers have come full circle. Years ago, for Nintendo’s DS series of consoles too, flash carts used to be a primary device for hacking. And now, the Nintendo Switch too will fall victim to a similar trick.

No doubt Nintendo would not react kindly to this news. Let’s hope they decide to shift their focus to Switch 2. There can’t be a bigger sign of the Nintendo Switch’s end than this.
