First post, be gentle, etc, etc.

A couple things to be aware of before buying:

• These are legit, just from a different region. Bootleg Switch carts don't exist (yet).
• Box art, manuals, and other inserts are going to be in Chinese, Japanese, or something else. The game cart itself is multilingual, including an English option.

If none of that bothers you, and you just care about playing the game, then this deal is $10 cheaper than the last deal from Amazon.

Edit: If anyone is interested, here's a video from MrMario2011 (prominent YouTuber in the console modding community) that goes into more depth about AliExpress Switch game imports.

  Didn't even know there were video games on Aliexpress until now. Interesting.

    Yeah same. It's not super obvious. I also couldn't find any previous deals, not just this game, but for any game from AliExpress. It seemed worthwhile sharing haha.

    There’s a heap of counterfeit classics, GameBoy, SNES etc. Compete in (fake) box.

      Of course counterfeit retro games are a dime a dozen these days.

      As far as the Switch goes, currently the only possible way to counterfeit carts is the MIG Switch, but the MIG + the required MicroSD card is more expensive than the legit carts, so the Switch is safe for now.

        But some smart chinese can buy just 1 mig dumper, dump a game and put them in 100 empty "genuine " cartridges?

          @CyberMurning: If it were that simple, we would have heard about it.

            @bobbi084: yep. not yet.
            but see, the cost to make the shell and cover and manual are very little. they can dumps and make new shell for like $10 probably.

          @CyberMurning: According to the reviews, people have claimed coins from these carts, so they're unlikely to be dumps.

        Around 12,000 consoles holding over 47 million pirated video games

        Lol, counting games duplicated across 12,000 consoles as separate to inflate the total number to 47 million is sneaky journalism.

        If that's how it works, I guess I'm screwed?

    Aliexpress mostly safe, as you can use Paypal to charge back, the issues are with some dodgy sellers.

    bobbi084 on 15/09/2024 - 17:57

    If it's any reassurance, @Clear posted a deal from the same seller 3 weeks ago.
