Can't wait until this becomes widespread like the R4 on the Nintendo DS
@DNA Congrats on the 10K mark looking forward to future vids and watching your channel grow 😊
I'm still getting to the conclussion that for the next 5 years it's jut better to keep using the switch legit until we get an actual r4 for the switch
I appreciate the transparency on the good, bad, and ugly with this review. Can’t argue with the value of a good backup as well!
I can definitely see the use case as I have bought multiple copies of a few games cause of kids. I'm gonna sit on the sidelines for now and see how all this progresses.. will probably see updates/improvements on them
Oh I agree, mind you price does need to come down a bit even pre order wise it's expensive. I get why though, get a 1,000,000 gamers to buy these at high prices then sell them to resellers at bulk. What resellers sell them for after is up to them, this was the way the R4 was distributed too until clones came around.
Don’t have a Switch, but it’s interesting to see how these things work. Seems like a very specific use case.
I'd rather get this and backup my games instead of risking the physical cartridges & switch being stolen while taking trips. At least this way you'd only have to replace 2 or 3 things, which will cost less than replacing 15 or more items.
That's actually a really good point, have one $100 MiG Switch with a $100 Switch Lite that's $200 stolen rather than $1000 of games and a Switch Lite stolen! Great point to make for sure! 🤯🤯🤯
I lost my case with all my games from my original switch, this would have been a life saver
DMG clan!. An i really got to look more into this. Especially for my lil brother
I like the idea of having a bunch of games on 1 sd card .
I agree, I mean the better idea is to have just a few like maybe a handful at a time and swap them otherwise if you have like 50 games it could get tedious mind you this could be a game of "I can't play the next game on my Mig Switch until I beat the first one" then cycle through all the games until I complete my collection lol.
I would put the most played games on the Mig Switch and those less played would be using their own cart. That's my plan if it works out.
It's a nice stepping stone for what can be done eventually with the MIG card. It's just the first generation. I'm sure they'll improve upon it or maybe even more companies will create there versions. Gaming and emulation is becoming crazy!
Oh I agree, the R4 card wasn't the most advanced back in the day however MIG really did this card correctly. I'm sure someone will fully reverse engineer this properly one day but right now with the fact that you have to have the original certificates, ID, UID, etc shows that this card will avoid piracy all together.
I just have some questions.
If the MIG cart and Actuak cart is playing simultaneously and the one playing it witbout internet, does that mean ban?
Secondly I have the same account running on both the Switch one as a primary and one as a secondry. Do the account gets banned as well?
If the Switch playing MIG cart is offline is there Nintendo can ban it later when I connect it to internet? Can they tell that same game with unique id was running simultaneously on two different switch co consoles?
How hard would it have been for them to put an actual freaking button to cycle through games?
Can they do this through some firmware update in the future?
That's a lot of questions maybe I'll answer those on Saturdays live 😁
130 dollars for a flashcart is crazy expensive but hey, it's a great concept so the price is justified i guess lol
Yeah the website I pre ordered was cheaper but I was impatient and $130 was the cheapest (CAD btw) that I found on AliExpress.
they're in the $60-$70 USD range unless you go to unofficial sources. the $130 was originally for the cart and Dumper.
with the emulator being taken down can this still be used kinda wanna put my nintendo catridges onto one memory card and on my steam deck oled
Thanks for the demo and info, yeah I am with you, I want to have backup copies of my games, cause I own them
Great video mate! Can the dumped games on the mig be put back in the switch and be dumped again? So would be a dump of a dump 😂
Actually yes I did do this by mistake and was like "oh crap hope I don't break this" but it literally just took the game I was loaded into for homebrew and dumped it. 🤣
Thats kinda awesome that it just reads it as a 1.1 game then, buhbyyyee
The "playing the same game at the same time" would only apply if you were connected to the network correct??
So far I've only tested playing both consoles offline I never play online games with my Switch so there hasn't been a need for this.
@@DNAMobileGaming Yeah i figured. not that big of a deal if you don't play online.
Thank you sooo much ❤
I would like the option of not having to carry my carts with me since I do take Switch on the go often. How's the overall quality of the materials better than the r4 knock offs hopefully.
Thanks!
Well done
As always the information is clear and helpful! Still personally don’t have a use case for this. If I were to spend money on something like this I’d prefer to just hack a switch for the max benefits like being able to transfer save data from my Odin 2 to my switch for example. That indigo switch lite is so nice looking. I wish the joysticks were better on them! I’d totally get one.
Exactly that's why I stated hacking the Switch is the way to go as you can dump all these games to a 512-1tb micro SD card and install them. Which I should have tested if installed games run slower on a hacked switch vs the MiG Switch! I might go live and do a Q&A for the MiG Switch or maybe that will be part of Saturday! You just gave me a good idea 💡💡💡. Also thank for your feedback my favourite member 😎
It might kill the slot parts of NSwitch more earlier... LoL
Nah not unless kids are bad with it .
Nice showcase!
Eh thanks for popping by I can't wait to hear your take on this card!
Cool concept for backing up copies of your games in case a physical cartridge is lost or damaged. Beyond that I can’t really recommend it. This comes from someone who preordered it.
I agree on the backing up part so as long as we get the dumper tool as not everyone wants to hack their Switch of course. Otherwise I say it could be good for my reasons but for the price is it really worth it, probably not. But remember the R4 card way way back was approx $80 when it came out now it's $5 🤣
i've ordered 1 from ali since 1 of my physical carts is faulty i already have a nice hacked switch so i've dumped it with the dump tool from mig looking forward to it arriving its a good little addition to preserve games and still be able to run em im hoping online is safe to do with all the 5 files
So from what I tried is playing online is safe if you aren't using the second game in another device. Now I have not tried playing the second game in another device online at the same time however. If this video gets a lot of attention I may buy 2 Switch Lites create two accounts and try this but currently not at that stage to buy devices and lose money if things go sideways.
@@DNAMobileGaming so its safe for just 1 device if so im happy enough :D
As of right now and I can't see it being unsafe in the future either so as long as you don't give those files to anyone or your original card. I played Mario Kart online with it and no issues I'll showcase this during the live tomorrow.
DMG Clan! I am really interested in how all these flash carts evolve from here. At this point there are too issues with it.
where could we find the mig? please thank you (I am French)
AliExpress is where I got mine.
Okay. This is nice
This honestly works better for me because I have lost all my games when an employee stole it and I'd of rather gave him the mig switch rather than all my games 😢

DMG clan 🔥🔥
I'll wait for the release of switch 2 to mode my normal switch hopefully by then this sort of thing will be more accessible. DMG Clan
Mod your switch now if you have the skills as 18.0.0 is fully able to be modded.
DMG CLAN!
Great video
there will probably be a smoother solution like the ez flash in the not so far future
Yeah most likely but this card really puts it in perspective that piracy can be avoided as you need 4 other files alongside the game file to play it.
DMG Clan 🎉
Don't forget people can buy games, do the mig back up, and return the games to the store...
Hey I did vaguely mention this but the huge problem you'd face is that your Switch could get banned if both you and someone else went online with that same game file. That's why I stated if I had the funds to buy 2 Switch consoles create two accounts and try this to test I would.
DMG CLAN!!
Dmg clan 🎉
DMG Clan !
This thing can make your switch banned. Many people will dump their game then sell the game cartridge.
No it doesn't if you own the games the only way you'll likely get banned is if you dump different game certificates and use them on multiple devices.
It be better if everyone has got them already so we can see each question solved
I agree, I actually had more questions myself last night so I ordered another one from AliExpress from the same seller.
Questions I hope I see answered in this video that no one has answered yet:
1. What about your paid DLC?
2. What about the game updates?
Can you translate those into the mig too? I will post an edit in case this video actually (for once) answers these questions.
EDIT: nope. No one ever talks about these two pints. Disapointing.
Everything works as it should all my game updates and dlcs work. I never thought of this when reviewing it.
At this point Nintendo should be smart, build there own emulator which works only with there ROM, sell these readers they build themselves which they can sell! I bet you people would be happy to purchase them!
Nintendo Smart? 🤓 Nintendo is more "I own you and I want money" they don't care what we want 😔 they're selfish and everyone knows it.
Dmg clan .....i hope and pray i ilegalble to win for the odin 2 base model
Where i can find this ?
Alibaba is where he got that card. I tried buying from a third party and it never shipped and the company disappeared with 60 bucks. Womp womp. Ali should be fine
Yeah AliExpress I use that site for a lot

Can i sail the 7seas with this card.
I'm sure you could if you had a boat because you wouldn't normally have WiFi on the ocean so you'd be fine to play most games.
@@DNAMobileGaming 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Nice one
The dumper is the only thing that I can see being and issue with pre-owned games.
Why would it be an issue? The entire idea is to dump your own games and copy them to an SD card.
Sorry for the lack of context. I mean if I was looking to buy a pre-owned game, I would have no way of knowing if that game was already dumped and if we were to both go online with the "same" game, there's the big potential of getting banned.
@ThatGhostWizard oh I get what you mean and yes I get this but I guess you'd just have to stay offline with games that are online games for now until we have a way to truly test this.
Good review but a little expensive to me
Russian cubs don't have credit. I bought them three months ago, but they ignore my e-mail and don't give me a refund
I got mine from AliExpress for a reason the original company seemed fishy and I got my money back luckily. Best bet is to get it from AliExpress but make sure it's a reputable seller because I now have a second one that has been stuck in transit for almost a month.
This won't stop piracy, it will just change the form. People will simply include the same files the MigSwitch needs when they share the files. That said, this will be a good thing when the Switch becomes "retro" in a few years and they don't support the servers anymore.
Well I didn't say it would completely stop Piracy but help stop it when others find out that A it's super hard to find games online for Switch with the files required, B you do need those 5 files no matter what at least for now unlike other flash carts that only need the main game file. But yes it will be great down the road when nobody cares lol
@@DNAMobileGaming It's hard now, because the device is new so most piracy for the Switch is formatted around the hacked Switch instead. Unless a new softmod comes out, this will become popular as the device becomes more widely-distributed and so those who supply the sites will supply the files. Not wanting to hard-mod and being paranoid on a ban are the main reasons I haven't hacked my Switch yet, and one day the latter won't be a factor.
Good review though, I'm looking forward to a review of the dumper if they ever send it to you
It's like SD2VITA all over again.
More like an R4 card or other flash cart lol
$130 is crazy. To me that a little over priced. I definitely wouldn’t try it. Buuuuuuut it’s cool and the concept is great. Nice hair cut!
You can install a picofly and a 500gb sd card for cheaper than that and it’s miles better
Not everyone wants to solder a pico like me though mind you without a hacked switch or the dumper you can't get these game files yet@@matyuuu
Sadly Just got min switch chipped. If i just known about this just a little before 😅
What happened? LOL
you're 100% better off with what you have. you saved money and time.
Oh I get what you mean now I didn't understand that at first.
I see you got a haircut. I like it! 👍 I don't think I'll buy the Mig Switch, it's not worth the money to me. I do enjoy these reviews though.
DMG
playing the video at 2x speed is still too slow
waffle waffle waffle
Play it at 4x and lower the pitch you'll get a way better experience.
I’m a pirate and I’ll rent my games and make copies of it.
That only makes sense if you never go online which some games require you to go online periodically to download updates.
I’m pretty sure I’ll never see my mig switch card
That's one big scare, I've contacted the company I ordered my original one from multiple times now as I pre ordered Jan 19th and they have responded ASSURING me that it is coming but production is behind. So we'll just wait and see I guess, otherwise I'll do what I need to of course.
Wonder if Nintendo has any chance of launching a lawsuit in Russia. Probably not. This probably isn't the last solution for this problem that will come out this year.
I'm pretty positive they can't touch Russia however not sure what the lawsuit would be about as they don't supply any games or SD cards with games on these carts. The thing about technology is that most tech can be reverse engineered and I'm sure this flash cart wasn't an overnight discovery.
Rom sites or torrents problem solved on free games
If you can tell me where you can find the 4 important files including the Certificate file then please point me in the direction because I Google searched all over and couldn't find a single site that had these four files alongside the main game file.
I think these guys might be selling snake oil, has anyone that preordered actually received a cart? I preordered a couple months ago, and not getting any response over email.
I think I might file a complaint against the original company I ordered mine from. Jan 19th is when I pre-ordered, site said March which I was fine with it is now almost 4 months later and I received emails back but they sound suspicious.
@@DNAMobileGaming Ordered mine from MigSwitchStore January 20th. They only replied once, and only did so when I wrote an email to the original company questioning their legitimacy. And their response was "be patient", no eta, no update on what status I am in line. Now they don't respond at all.
@@DNAMobileGaming Please let us know if you ever get one from the main order :)
actual review begins after 5mins and theres were left.
so much fluff before that.
Not sure what you mean but the beginning explained everything about the card where yes the review did start around 5 minutes in having some full back story was relevant.
This could create so many issues.
Key word COULD but I don't see it causing any issues when it comes to this scenario I thought of after. Let's say you own a Mig Switch, you rent a game and dump it. YOU NEVER GO ONLINE because you would risk your Switch being banned or account being blocked with your MIG SWITCH. Send rented game back to rental place and nobody's ever gonna know. NOW Scenario 2 you're a dumb MIG SWITCH owner, you went online, now you and Sally both have banned Switches MAYBE which leaves you with a $400 console that can't play games online anymore. Scenario 3 YOU own your games like me, you never sell them or let anyone borrow them. You dump them to keep the originals from getting lost, damaged, stolen or just because. Now you have for eternity multiple games on one cart that you can play. That's why this Saturday I was thinking to showcase this LIVE for the Odin 2 giveaway ;)
@@DNAMobileGaming and of course the #1 deal of people who will buy a brand new game from any given webstore, dump it with migswitch then either return the game (will probably be accepted by a muh zon) or sell it on any given secondhandmarketplace. then the person who buys that used copy will get their console banned.
it is a poison to the used market.
@@DNAMobileGaming scenario 1 seems optimal but the dumper isnt being sold on ali is it? how else would we be able to dump our physical games otherwise?
@@kikissolano5645the only way we can dump them right now is a hacked switch. The weird thing is the dumper was on AliExpress for a very limited time a few weeks ago but way over priced and now I wish I got it too. Now we're all waiting for our preorders to hopefully ship but at this point buying a hacked switch Lite for $250-300 is your best option if you're in a rush.
Mig card requires Nintendo Switch, plus $60 card, plus knowledge and interest in downloading Switch ROMs, plus awkward usability (as noted here). If you already have a handheld Switch emulator (which would emulate everything else too), I feel like there's no point, because that experience is just much cleaner and easier to use.
Very true and a lot of games run really well on emulation despite what happened to Snuzu.
I have ordered the dumper for this reason. I wish at this point they just ship the dumper to me. The actual cart, although I have ordered one, is a bit too rough around the edges.
If this thing proves to be reliable down the road I'm in. We have some many carts and the 3 kids this could be awesome. ( Could be )
Yeah that's what I'm saying, even if we have to buy the game ONCE then well you know buy this thing 2 or 3 more times that's going to save us if we don't go online of course!
Absolutely love the USSR Communist theme on these things! 🔥🔥
LOL did you like the intro I love the Russian fun time of the box! Russians are as cool as Canadians I'm forever keeping the red box too.
@@DNAMobileGaming yeah so sick for sure I'm doing the same 🔥
The first model is a waste of time/money. In a year there'll be several different cards no doubt
can't pirate nintendo games easier don't care, now the only hope of this product working is if I can just buy a game and then sell it off to someone else
The second option could be possible if you stayed offline with it however we don't know if that will be the case yet either.
I can say I don't think I will be getting a mig switch. Also you NEED to fix the yellowing on that turcoice switch lite, it's very distracting.
I know the yellowing is dumb that's what you get for buying used devices 😂
Yes you can this guy is uninformed
Alienretrogamer already proved the games work with any certificate
I repeat any certificate
You can put a random certificate from a bs $5 shovelware game on there and it will play just fine
Will you get flagged and banned? Probably
But you can use any games certificates to play
Well if you listened to what I said there mister Joe Schmoe 420, I stated you still need ALL 5 files from each game to play them. You can't simply download a game from an unknown source (NSP/XCI) and play it directly you still need the 4 other files which yes require the certificate & 3 other files. I tried multiple methods as well, to see if I could get the game to play without these files and NOPE you cannot. So unless people are absolutely never going to go online with the Mig Switch, seeing certificates start to pop up online will be the next thing to piracy all in itself. Anyone that does download these (the certificates that is) will literally have to be dumb or stupid because they're risking their $400 Switch console of being banned or even worse their account being blocked. So uninformed, think not as I have watched others insight on this card (including Alienretrogamer) and now owning it for the time I have, this is what I have found out from personally studying it. Make sure to listen to the video not hear what you want to hear which it appears a lot of people do these days when watching content online or reading reddit posts.
BuhByee!
Sounds like a huge waste of money
Yeah some may think so, it'll get cheaper than it'll be a huge benefit only with either a dumper or hacked Switch of course.
You dont have to have the physical carts, obviously. People dump theirs online and then others use their files while in airplane mode. You just sound like youre mad that you paid 2x the price for one.
Oh people have been sharing their important files online for others to use??? Who said I was mad about paying what I did as I stated I went out of my way because I was being impatient but you probably didn't make it that far into the video.
Who gives af
Obviously not you of course 🤣
Need to watch on x2 Speaking very slow 😅
What is x2? LOL Speed x2? This was a different video to take some time to make sure I covered everything in the raw about the flash cart rather than skimming the what it really is.
@DNAMobileGaming can watch the video Playback Speed x2 haha.
you guys are the reason nintendo pulls the plug on these things keep it to your selves or on reddit two weeks later goin see a video of you mad they pull the plug an you wasted 80 bucks
You guys? I get what you're saying but it's the Internet & this thing is already floating all around. Even back in the day with things like the R4 card Nintendo still found out about it and that was before the internet and TH-cam was a big thing. Sharing what this is and giving educational thoughts about what it actually does, both educates those to not waste money on things like this and educates the Ninjas if they come across this content.
Why... Do you.... Talk....like... This....
Not sure what you're talking about sorry I'm not just skimming the icing on the cake and slowly getting my point across unlike other content creators that just speed run through things I took the time in this video specifically and even state "I know this is a different video from my others" so if you don't like the way I did this you can move onto another channel or hit that thumbs down all you want but it doesn't bother me any 😂
you can watch it 1.5x speed
You guys are hilarious I did rewatch it again for a 4th time to see what you mean but chill out and slow down in life because if you move to fast you'll miss something.
@@DNAMobileGaming don't get offended man i generally watch the videos with 1.5x speed 🤣
can i put gba games on it?
No well not yet at least lol

Really dont like the vocal modulation. Unnecessary pauses in his speech make him sound like bad AI. Also, I hate how he's a nintendo lackey / boot licker.
Well if you made it far enough to find out that this was sort of a different way to share reviews you'd understand. I don't know what your last statement means however as I'm old so if this is some Gen Z slang than please enlighten me 🤣
Pretty cool, not worth the price to me though
