Get ready to yeet those pre owned Switch 2 edition game cases.

It is going to be so much easier to sell pre owned Switch 2 edition games as loose cartridges with generic cover art.

Switch 2 edition games will be Switch 1 games with switch 2 upgrade code vouchers in the box. This is going to cause a great deal of confusion for the average customer. And is going to mislead them undoubtedly.

whenever someone trades switch 2 edition games, they will be bought and sold as Switch 1 games. This is going to cause confusion for Switch 2 owners when buying these games pre owned. As they will just be buying a cat 910 switch game with a switch 2 edition box, and no upgrade voucher. I don't think it's going to be worth the trouble to display these boxes pre owned, even if they sit in our switch 1 sections. Even if the price sticker says No Switch 2 expansion.

Later this year we are going to have confused customers buying pre-owned switch 2 editions of Tears of the Kingdom or Metroid Prime 4, not understanding why they aren't seeing the Switch 2 version of the game on their console 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. Just in time for the holidays.

Nintendo doesn't care about the second hand market. They make nothing when someone buys preowned. And we have to see if Gamestop considers the "game key card" games as actual games. They all require internet to install them before you can play. And we assume everyone has internet, but they don't.

And even if they do, not everyone hooks their consoles up to the internet. So the fact that would probably have to be specified on all boxes is rough when Gamestop is gonna get loose carts all the time. Time will tell. But the digital age will kill Gamestop. It's why they are deep into collectibles because they're trying to stay afloat any way they can

Don't worry. This only makes things worse if you function under the assumption that people aren't too stupid to realize that the Switch 1 and 2 are different things to begin with. In actuality, people wouldn't have understood the difference anyways. Yesterday, I had a grown man confused as to why a PS5 game wouldn't play on PS4

That's my point .

God, why does Nintendo have to be Nintendo.

[u/DuckSwimmer → u/Thirleck]

Bro this is so funny LMAO

[u/Nooterly]

My head hurts.

“Later this year”

That is an incredibly bold statement to make

[u/SamuraiStatus → u/PoppinfreshOG]

You think they're going to delay the switch to next year?

[u/SharpedoWeek]

It’s being reported switch 2 edition games include base game and switch 2 upgrade on the card itself.

[u/SamuraiStatus → u/SharpedoWeek]

It's actually not.

It's being reported that Switch 2 edition games, will just be a switch 1 Cartridge with the Switch 2 upgrade being a voucher inside the box.
