Nintendo Switch Pirates Taken Down: FBI and International Authorities Seize NSW2U.com for Hosting Pirated Games

NWS2U.com… So, picture this – you’re all set, popcorn ready, and hoping to snag your favorite game without dropping a dime. You hit up NWS2U, only to find out it’s been gobbled up by the big guys. Yeah, the FBI and their pals, all flashing their badges like they own the place. Honestly, it’s like going to your usual coffee spot and finding it turned into a police station overnight. Freaky, right?

So, these U.S. authorities, they basically hit the jackpot. They took the domain down for serving up pirated Switch games like hotcakes. Normally, you’d see their fancy logos plastered on the homepage now. Guess “free downloads” and “uncleared ROMs” became the new bullseye for them.

What’s with Nintendo, though? If they had a middle name, it might be “Guard Dog.” Seriously, these guys don’t play around with their IP. Like, who knew using some flashy USB-C hub could land you in hot water with them? Talk about overprotective parenting. Even the Brazilian government’s raising an eyebrow at their antics, questioning some of their EULA clauses. But then, Nintendo sometimes plays nice… if you prove you got scammed instead of, you know, diving headfirst into piracy.

Now for the juicy stuff. The Switch 2 is apparently what everyone and their grandma wants. It blew its predecessor’s launch numbers out of the water. Yet, despite its popularity, it’s still not muscled-up enough to challenge the big guys – think Steam Deck or ROG Ally X. But hey, who needs muscles when you have finesse, right?
