Nintendo takes down another Switch ROM site

Matthew Wilson July 11, 2025 Software & Gaming

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.

Switch 2 3-phase

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.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
