La piratería de videojuegos ingresa a una nueva era cuando Japón detiene su primer presunto modder de Nintendo Switch Consols

Autor:Kristen Actualizar:Feb 27,2025

Las autoridades japonesas han realizado un arresto histórico en la lucha contra la piratería de videojuegos. Por primera vez, un sospechoso ha sido detenido por modificar las consolas de Nintendo Switch para jugar juegos pirateados.

Según NTV News, un hombre de 58 años fue arrestado el 15 de enero por violar la Ley de Marcas registradas de Japón. Supuestamente alteró las consolas de interruptores usados ​​soldando componentes modificados en sus placas de circuito, permitiéndoles ejecutar juegos copiados ilegalmente. Las autoridades afirman que precargó 27 títulos pirateados en cada consola antes de venderlos por aproximadamente ¥ 28,000 ($ 180 USD) cada uno. El individuo ha confesado los cargos, y se están realizando más investigaciones.

Este arresto destaca la batalla en curso entre los editores de juegos y la piratería. Nintendo, un objetivo frecuente, lanzó un aviso de derribo en mayo de 2024 que afecta a 8,500 copias del emulador de interruptor Yuzu, luego del cierre del emulador dos meses antes. Una demanda previa contra el creador de Yuzu, Tropic Haze, alegó que la leyenda de Zelda: las lágrimas del reino fue pirateado un millón de veces antes de su liberación oficial.

La acción legal contra la piratería está aumentando. Los casos exitosos anteriores incluyen demandas contra Romuniverse, lo que resulta en $ 2.1 millones y $ 12 millones en daños otorgados a Nintendo en 2021 y 2018, respectivamente. Estas acciones también se extendieron para bloquear la liberación del emulador del delfín en Steam.

Recientemente, un abogado de patentes de Nintendo arrojó luz sobre la estrategia antipiratería de la compañía. Koji Nishiura, asistente de gerente de la División de Propiedad Intelectual, señaló la legalidad ambigua de los propios emuladores, enfatizando que su ilegalidad depende de su uso. El uso de emuladores para ejecutar juegos pirateados sigue siendo una clara violación.

As of now, there is no official announcement from Larian Studios or any major publisher confirming that Divinity: Original Sin 2 will receive a free upgrade for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo Switch 2.
However, here’s what is known:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has already been released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch (with enhanced versions on the Switch OLED and Switch 2).
The enhanced version of the game for Nintendo Switch 2 (or the upcoming Switch 2 hardware) has not been officially confirmed by Nintendo or Larian Studios.
The game was initially released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Later, a next-gen upgrade was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, which included performance improvements, higher resolution, and faster load times. This was not a free upgrade—it required purchasing the new-gen version separately, though players who owned the original on those platforms could get it at a discount.
For the Nintendo Switch, an enhanced version was released in 2022 (for Switch OLED and later for Switch 2), but again, not as a free upgrade.

So, while fans are hopeful for a free upgrade across all new platforms, including a potential free upgrade for the Switch 2, no such official free update has been announced.
👉 Bottom line: Divinity: Original Sin 2 has received enhanced versions on new hardware, but not as free upgrades. Always check official sources like Larian Studios’ website or platform-specific announcements (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) for the latest.
Stay tuned—Larian often surprises fans with new content, but as of now, a free upgrade across PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 is not confirmed.
