FBI Takes Down Major Site Hosting Nintendo Switch Pirated Games

The FBI has seized a major site distributing pirated Nintendo Switch games amid ongoing piracy battles.

Nintendo’s fight against piracy has taken a serious turn as the FBI recently seized a prominent site offering thousands of pirated Nintendo Switch games. This move highlights ongoing efforts to combat widespread piracy affecting the console.

The site in question was taken down this week following a seizure warrant issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, according to reports from Kotaku. It had been on the EU’s piracy watchlist earlier this year, indicating long-standing concerns over its operations.

Despite Nintendo issuing hardware revisions to curb piracy, the Switch remains the console with the most enormous piracy problem. It’s kinda wild how piracy persists as a thorn in Nintendo’s side, especially considering the company’s vigilance.

In the weeks leading up to major Nintendo Switch releases, many players livestream pirated versions of new games on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. These pirated copies often originate from early retail versions that are leaked online and then widely shared, frustrating Nintendo and its fans.

Interestingly, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hasn’t faced the same level of piracy issues so far. Nintendo continues to battle groups involved in Switch piracy and emulator creators. Last year, Nintendo accused the Yuzu emulator of “facilitating piracy at a colossal scale.” Shortly after, Yuzu’s developer, Tropic Haze, settled a lawsuit with Nintendo, agreeing to pay $2.4 million in damages.

Following that, the popular 3DS emulator Citra was also shut down, angering preservationists who saw it as a loss for game preservation and accessibility.
