In this segment, the discussion revolves around the MX switch and recent changes in its product offering. Initially, the MX switch package included a backup cart and a USB game dumper tool to backup legitimate Switch games. However, the website now indicates that these items are sold separately. The MX switch helps users backup games onto a Micro SD card, which can then be used to cycle through and play multiple backups on an unmodified Switch. Concerns about wear and tear from frequent card swaps are addressed, noting that the Switch is designed to handle this activity. The inclusion of the Backup Tool added legitimacy to the product since backing up games otherwise requires a modified Switch.

In this part of the video, the presenter introduces a brand new Switch OLED that will be used to test the Mig switch device. They acknowledge the risk of potentially getting the Switch banned online but aim to evaluate if the Mig switch meets expectations. The Mig switch website states the device is intended for backups and development, supporting gaming only with user-owned backups. The presenter plans to demonstrate how to play legitimate backups and might explore playing illegitimate ones. They explain the backup process requires more than just the ROM; it also needs the cart ID, UID, and game certificate. Sharing these files publicly can result in a ban, as Nintendo can detect multiple users playing the same game ID simultaneously.

They mention dealing with unauthorized sellers and the complications of voiding warranties. The speaker admits to purchasing pre-orders from two separate retailers to test their legitimacy but did not initially reveal the retailer names due to trust concerns. Later, the speaker confirmed with the product’s team that the retailers are legitimate. They talk about the prevalence of illegitimate sellers creating temporary shops to avoid legal consequences from Nintendo and emphasize the importance of using authorized retailers. They also reference a specific, controversial Canadian retailer and suggest that the sellers involved are often inexperienced and taking significant legal risks.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses an experience with two different suppliers — one Canadian and one from the United States — related to purchasing a Mig switch and a dumper tool. Initially, the purchase was supposed to include both items, but both companies have since communicated that the dumper tool will not be available. Each company handled this issue differently: one offered a full refund and adjusted pricing for just the Mig switch, while the other pledged to ship the dumper tool later, though the speaker is skeptical about this promise. Nevertheless, both companies are giving customers the option to cancel their order and receive a full refund. The speaker mentions that despite the confusion, they will continue with the purchase, expecting to receive at least the Mig switch.
