Does Mig-Switch work on Switch 2?
I previously wrote about an unconfirmed claim by GBAtemp user LagunaLoire88 that Switch 2 supposedly enters a bootloop if a MIG Switch is inserted.
Like many people on GBAtemp, I found the original post hard to believe.
And now there is a new twist. On April 23, 2025, the Twitter account @MigSwitch posted a claim that the device was compatible with Switch 2. The post quickly spread across social media, then disappeared almost immediately.
At first glance, that looked like confirmation. But the deeper you look, the more questions arise.
First, the @MigSwitch account appears to belong not to the developers but to a US retailer, theMigFlash.store, which sells the devices. MigSwitch does not appear to have an official public website at all. And on the retailer's site, Switch 2 support is buried in tiny footer text that only mentions “possible compatibility thanks to backward compatibility with games.”
Second, the deleted tweet — or perhaps replaced tweet — raises even more doubts. The original post has now been replaced by something completely different.
Yes, Nintendo could theoretically have sent a complaint. But there is another possibility: the retailer itself may have removed the post once it realized the claim had spread across Reddit and other forums. Given the questionable legal status of devices like this, they may simply have decided not to take the risk — especially without a 100% guarantee.
There has also been a claim online about a new tool called Mig Dumper — or perhaps a firmware update — supposedly intended to dump games from the Switch 2 itself. There is no confirmation of that either.
For now, this looks more like an attempt to attract attention and build demand ahead of the console's release, especially given the high prices of Switch 2 games and the particular requirements of microSD Express cards.
At the moment there is neither confirmation nor a solid debunking. If MIG Switch really works on Switch 2, it could be the first step toward bypassing the system's protections. Or it could simply be advertising aimed at gullible buyers.
