Nintendo wins a $2 million lawsuit against popular Switch modding webstore


Modded Hardware is no longer and its owner will have to pay Nintendo $2 million in damages, according to the latest court ruling.

Earlier this summer, a US federal court ruled in favor of Nintendo in a lawsuit against Ryan Daly and the Modded Hardware website. The order also prevents Daly from any future involvement with devices that get around Nintendo's guardrails, including creating, selling, contributing to, hosting other websites related to or investing in other businesses that deal in similar products. While MIG flash carts could be used as a backup for legally purchased physical games, it was more commonly used to pirate official Nintendo Switch titles.
