Mig-Switch does not authorize the use of your device with game ROMs not owned by you, downloaded from the Internet or owned by friends or any external source. Besides being illegal, it will void our warranty and support.”

To make this point as clear as possible, MiG Switch doesn’t support some of the most popular Switch ROMs right now. However, there is a possibility that future hacks will allow this As you can see in the video, the way this device works is to insert and remove the flash card to change the game. While this has raised several concerns about its use, officials have indicated that they don’t expect the public to switch games every second and noted that the Switch is a top quality product.
Now, the question on many people’s minds: Can Nintendo block the use of the MiG Switch with an update? Those responsible for this product confirm that this is not the case. However, only time will tell if the Big N can avoid using this device.
While the MiG Switch is positioned as a backup tool for games you already own, thus preventing the use of piracy, It’s 100% that people will use it differently.. Today, Switch emulation continues to grow, especially on PC, and something like this flash card will make hacks for Nintendo consoles even easier in the future.

Editor’s note:
This is the normal process of a console. When a company stops supporting hardware, it’s up to users to give it new life. Let’s take the 3DS as an example. It’s already a platform that many use for emulation, and that’s something that will happen with the Switch in the future.
