Do you remember the GameShark? Its makers marketed the cheating device in the late 90s and early 2000s for the Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo consoles at the time. Since then, not a lot of products have really come out to replicate the kind of features that the GameShark possessed back then.
However, this latest third-party cheating device is exclusive for the Nintendo Switch and allows gamers to accomplish unnatural things in games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokémon for the Nintendo Switch.
Is the Switch Up an illegal accessory?
The Switch Up is literally a modern version of the GameShark. It comes in the form of a USB stick that you plug into your Switch dock and allows you to access a plethora of cheats and mods for Nintendo's portable console. It also lets you pair any wireless Bluetooth controller to the Switch, which is a nice bonus feature to have.
Just like the GameShark, the Switch Up comes with pre-installed cheats that make it easier for players to obtain secret and exclusive items. There's also a mod that makes every Pokémon that you encounter into a shiny. Other powerup cheats like infinite ammo, stamina, and in-game currency also exist as well.
