FBI and International Authorities Shut Down Nintendo Switch Piracy Site NSW2U.com

Wow, okay, this whole NWS2U thing is wild, right? So, here’s the scoop—U.S. authorities pulled the plug on one of the biggest sites for grabbing pirated Switch games. Yeah, that spot where gamers could, like, sneak away with games without dropping a dime. It’s kinda like when you’re at a buffet and you’re sneaking extra shrimp into your pocket for later. Anyway, now if you try visiting, it’s all FBI logos and scary legal warnings. Definitely a buzzkill.

The notice is all, “Hey, we’re the FBI and we just nabbed this site,” and it’s teaming with these other agencies too. So if folks were hoping to snag ROMs for their tricked-out Switches or whatever—they’re gonna have to look elsewhere. Like, seriously, piracy just got way more annoying.

Nintendo’s on the warpath again. They’re really hardcore about keeping their stuff safe, almost like they’re guarding the last piece of cake at a party or something. Heard they’re even blocking some random USB-C hubs from linking up with the new Switch 2 consoles. That just feels extra to me. Brazil’s government noticed, though, and they’re like: “Hey, cut it out, Nintendo!” But, in fairness, if you explain you got tricked into some sketchy deal, they might let you slide. Maybe.

Oh, speaking of the Switch 2—it’s flying off the shelves! Like, record-breaking sales and all that jazz. Nintendo’s probably grinning like a kid with a new puppy. People stick around for those awesome exclusive games. Even if the console isn’t as beefy as, say, the Steam Deck or those other handhelds. But hey, who needs all that horsepower when you’ve got Mario Kart, am I right?
