Downloading copyrighted Nintendo Switch games (NSP files) without owning a legal copy of the game violates copyright laws and Nintendo’s Terms of Service.

Legal Alternatives to "Free Download New"
Instead of risking your $300 console for a game that costs less than a pizza, consider these legal alternatives:
1. Nintendo’s Ban Hammer (The Console Ban)
The most immediate consequence is a CDN ban (Content Distribution Network). When you install an illegitimate NSP, your console sends a "ticket" to Nintendo’s servers. If the ticket doesn’t match a legitimate purchase, your console is flagged. The result? You are permanently banned from:
- Accessing the Nintendo eShop.
- Playing any legitimate online games (Splatoon, Mario Kart, Fortnite).
- Receiving system updates.
- Syncing save data to the cloud.
Once banned, your Nintendo Switch becomes an offline-only device.
Option A: Purchase on the Nintendo eShop (On Sale Regularly)
Modern Combat 5: Blackout has a retail price of approximately $19.99 USD. However, Gameloft runs sales frequently. During big sales (Summer, Black Friday, Holiday), the game has been spotted as low as $4.99.
Why buy?
- You get full online multiplayer access.
- Cloud saves are enabled.
- You can play on any Switch console linked to your account.
- No risk of a console ban.
