In this part of the video, the speaker addresses changes regarding the Mig switch product offering. Initially, the Mig switch package included a backup card and a USB game dumper to easily backup legally owned Nintendo Switch games. However, the website now indicates that these products are sold separately. The Mig switch’s purpose remains to let users store multiple game backups on a Micro SD card to be used on an unmodified Switch. There is a minor concern about potential wear on the card slot, but the Switch is built to handle such usage. The backup tool previously added legitimacy to the product, as current alternatives require a modified Switch. The speaker notes that they have a version one Switch capable of backing up games for use with the Mig switch device.

In this part of the video, the presenter reveals that they have purchased a brand new Switch OLED model to use as a test subject to explore the capabilities of the Mig switch, even at the risk of being banned online. The Mig switch website has been updated, indicating that it is intended as a backup and development device, which only supports gaming with legitimate game backups. The presenter emphasizes that using downloaded backups from the internet is not supported and might lead to bans if played online.
The video also addresses the necessity of using your own game backups with specific details like the cart ID, UID, and game certificate for online play to avoid bans. Furthermore, the presenter mentions that sharing these files online could result in mass bans if multiple users attempt to play the same game simultaneously, as Nintendo will detect the duplicate usage.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their experience with a Canadian retailer and a supplier in the United States regarding a pre-ordered product. Both companies initially promised a package including a Mig switch and a dumper tool. However, they later informed the speaker via email that the dumper would not be available. The companies offered different solutions: one company proposed a full refund and reconsideration of the purchase, while the other promised to ship the Mig switch now and send the dumper tool later when available, which the speaker doubts will happen.
