Police in Japan arrest a first-time Nintendo Switch console hacker!

According to NTV News, a 58-year-old man was arrested in Japan on January 15. Allegedly, this person modified Nintendo Switch consoles to run illegally accessed games and not only that, but also released the devices. The devices came with a total of 27 pirated games and he sold each device for about 28,000 yen (about $180).

According to the police, the person in question has pleaded guilty to the charges. The investigation into other possible illegal activities is currently ongoing. In fact, Nintendo has long had a strict policy against illegally accessed games. The company even stopped the spread of Yuzu, a popular emulator for the Switch, as well as the Dolphin emulator, which can run GameCube and Wii games, from being released on Steam.

It is also rumored to have achieved great success by filing lawsuits against sites like RomUniverse, where game files are shared. In short, we can say that the company is trying to protect its sales legally with strict measures these days. What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below…
