Switch2ROMs is an anonymous Switch ROM blog whose main job is pushing visitors to a second domain, nintendoproject.com
switch2roms.com publishes Spanish-language posts about downloading Nintendo Switch game files in XCI and NSP format and about running them in emulators, and its most prominent element is a large red button sending readers to nintendoproject.com, described as the recommended catalogue with over 1,600 verified ROMs. No operator name, contact email, phone, address or social profile appears on the captured page. Technical checks came back clean, but the site's own model is an undisclosed cross-domain referral for copyrighted game files, which is why it lands in the moderate-risk band rather than Safe.

What pushed the score up

Investigation Brief
switch2roms.com publishes Spanish-language posts about downloading Nintendo Switch game files in XCI and NSP format and about running them in emulators, and its most prominent element is a large red button sending readers to nintendoproject.com, described as the recommended catalogue with over 1,600 verified ROMs. No operator name, contact email, phone, address or social profile appears on the captured page. Technical checks came back clean, but the site's own model is an undisclosed cross-domain referral for copyrighted game files, which is why it lands in the moderate-risk band rather than Safe.
A ROM download guide that hands visitors to another domain
The navigation is built around download routes rather than products: 'ROMS XCI NSP MEDIAFIRE', 'ROMS XCI NSP TORRENT' and 'ROMS PARA MIG SWITCH', with a section listing Mediafire, torrent and MIG Switch as the download methods. Emulator compatibility with Yuzu, Ryujinx, Eden, Citron, Egg NS and MIG Switch is advertised alongside.
The dominant call to action is a centred card reading 'CATÁLOGO RECOMENDADO · +1.600 ROMS VERIFICADAS' with a red button 'Ir a NintendoProject.com', promising 'El catálogo más grande en español, sin anuncios'. In-body copy repeats the push, calling Nintendo Project one of the most complete Spanish-language catalogues and a habitual reference.
The blog framing is thin: the site says it publishes guides on formats and emulation, and the visible content is game analysis cards, but the practical outcome of every prominent link is a departure to nintendoproject.com. No affiliate disclosure, tracking parameter or stated ownership link between the two domains is visible.
Clean scanners, unaccountable publisher
Nothing malicious was detected on the page itself: no threat warning from Safe Browsing, zero malicious or suspicious detections across 93 engines, a valid encrypted connection, and a hosting IP with no abuse reports. No popups, forced downloads or notification prompts were observed while the page rendered.
The risk sits with who is behind it. The captured page carries no contact email, and no operator name, registration number, phone or address is disclosed, so there is no accountable party if a download from the recommended catalogue turns out to be junk or a dead end. The domain itself is 522 days old, which is a longer record than many ROM sites but does not identify its owner.
Independent coverage of the wider scene notes that Switch piracy sites have been seized by the FBI and that Nintendo bans accounts for using pirated software. That is context about the category and the legal exposure of using such sites, not a finding about this specific domain.
Why the score is 62
The page's main button sends visitors to nintendoproject.com, a separate registrable domain presented as the recommended ROM catalogue, with no ownership or affiliate disclosure visible.
