Coveragestrong3 of 4 applicable core capabilities
Tendoku is a Nintendo Switch ROM repository that pushes visitors to an off-domain PC-game download and carries adverse antivirus flags.
Tendoku presents itself as a free Nintendo Switch ROM download site, with a Telegram channel of roughly 9,700 subscribers and a cross-domain 'Download PC Game' button pointing to downloadtanku.me. Two independent antivirus families have flagged the domain, and the site publishes no contact email or operator details. The browser threat feed shows no active warning and the domain is about four years old, but the combination of unauthorized game-file distribution, an off-domain download funnel, and adverse security-vendor detections places this in the High Risk band.

Investigation Brief
Tendoku presents itself as a free Nintendo Switch ROM download site, with a Telegram channel of roughly 9,700 subscribers and a cross-domain 'Download PC Game' button pointing to downloadtanku.me. Two independent antivirus families have flagged the domain, and the site publishes no contact email or operator details. The browser threat feed shows no active warning and the domain is about four years old, but the combination of unauthorized game-file distribution, an off-domain download funnel, and adverse security-vendor detections places this in the High Risk band.
A ROM download hub with an off-domain PC-game funnel
The captured page identifies the site as 'Tendoku - Tempat Download Rom Nintendo Switch Gratis', positioning it as a free Nintendo Switch ROM repository. The site also maintains a Telegram channel with roughly 9,742 subscribers, which is a common distribution and update channel for ROM and homebrew content.
A prominent 'Download PC Game' button on the page points to a different domain, downloadtanku.me. That cross-domain link is the only commercial CTA captured, and it moves the visitor away from tendoku.com to an external host for the actual download.
Clean transport, adverse vendor flags, and no disclosed operator
On the technical side, the saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. The hosting IP carries an abuse confidence score of 0/100 across 26 saved reports, and the registrable domain is about 1,424 days old. Those are neutral-to-supportive infrastructure signals, not proof of safety.
Against that, two independent antivirus families reported an adverse result for the domain, and the captured page contains no direct contact email. The site does not disclose an operator identity, business registration, or contact details, so there is no accountable party behind the downloads.
Why the score is 38
2 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

If this is a scam — what it means for you
What a visitor actually does and where it leads
A visitor arriving on tendoku.com for a free Switch ROM sees a 'Download PC Game' button and, if they click it, is sent to downloadtanku.me rather than staying on the original domain. The download therefore comes from a separate host that the visitor did not choose and that is not described on the page.
If this is a scam, how it works
The evidence-backed path
Each stage below is preserved from the grounded analysis and linked to saved evidence.
Because the domain carries adverse antivirus detections and the site distributes unauthorized game files, the executable or archive obtained through that off-domain path carries unverified risk. There is no disclosed operator to hold accountable if the downloaded file is unwanted or harmful.
Avoid downloading files from Tendoku or its linked downloadtanku.me host. The site distributes unauthorized Nintendo Switch ROMs, pushes visitors to an off-domain download, and has been flagged by independent antivirus vendors, with no operator or contact information disclosed. If you already downloaded a file from this site, scan it with a reputable security tool before opening it.
Web research findings
Independent findings for tendoku.com, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for tendoku.com. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
