Nintendo Switch 2: Wait for the Hacks?

Gamers worldwide have been waiting for news on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and the announcement has certainly stirred the pot. The Switch received nothing but praise from critics, and even though there aren’t any official sales figures released, the new console will surely be anticipated in the market Switch reportedly has 300 million units sold worldwide. Now rumors are swirling around and giving us a glimpse of potential features we can expect with the new console:

Improved Software: Improvement is almost always guaranteed with newer releases.

Increased Memory: Increasing memory is always possible but at the cost of the physical structure.

Larger Controllers: Both comfort and ergonomics will be increased.

Some gamers are optimistic, while others are skeptical and want to see how things play out. It wasn’t merely a megahit for gamers, but it turned into a hacker heaven as well. Pirating games, using emulators, and even utilizing Home Brew software was unbelievably simple for users, and let’s not even start on the ease of unlocking the console. There are people who were drawn in by the concept of getting the console at a discounted rate and paying nothing but pennies for the games.

It wasn’t all about free gaming, and although that is the main component, it allowed users to customize their consoles and install different themes, and even run games crafted by other aspiring developers. Many switch owners felt an immense sense of control over their gaming system and the switch perfectly struck the balance with gamers’ fantasies and dreams.

With the Switch 2 coming soon, many are hesitant to buy it right away. Why pay with a history indicating that there will be hacking tools available to exploit?

Nintendo is a company known for its relentless anti-piracy attempts that are aimed at stopping hacking tools from being developed and implemented. However, the Switch demonstrated that determined companies sometimes fail against the ingenuity of the hacking community.

This is not about accepting piracy, but let’s face it – the temptation of free games along with extensive customization is very hard to resist. Throwing your money blindly on heavily priced games while hitting luck on free alternatives later is certainly illogical.

As exciting as the Switch 2 sounds, the differences that come with hacking software around the corner seem to be appealing. People who cherish games that come for free with extensive customization will be able to control when the time is right. Let the hackers take control and find out if the Switch 2 is worth all the hype.
