Nintendo takes down another Switch ROM site

Nintendo's war on piracy continues. The focus has shifted away from taking down emulators and back towards taking down websites offering ROM downloads. One of the biggest Switch ROM sites is now no more. 

The site, known as nsw2u, has been taken offline after the domain was seized by the FBI. The classic FBI seizure notice now shows on screen when attempting to access the site. Interestingly, this one appeared to be an international effort, as the Duch agency, FOID, was also involved in the takedown, indicating that the site was likely hosted in The Netherlands.

Nintendo has not publicly commented on this but they are no doubt pleased. In the lead-up to the Switch 2 launch, Nintendo leaned heavily into stamping out Switch piracy, resulting in the cancellation of two of the most popular in-development Switch emulators.

KitGuru Says: As always with ROM sites, when one shuts down, another will appear to take its place.
