Got it today, it is good and $30 isn't too bad. Playing with the dachshund ftw.
It does not.

Not familiar with these games but limited run is selling these separately for 29.99 each and a limited edition set of both for 90 bucks Monday.
looks like indie trash you can get on steam for a tenner or so.

I bought mercenary Kings figured if I hated it I could always sell it off and recoup some money. Interestingly the 90 dollar one was available at 10am and I reloaded the screen as I apparently did not have a login and it was sold out at 10:02am. This might be typical for how there pre orders go but I was definitely shocked to see 3000 copies gone that quick.

Mercenary Kings is trash. I bought it on steam because it looked like a fun game.
Turns out it's suuuuper grindy. You have to run the same levels over and over and over to get materials. Then you go to the next stage and repeat that process. It's like metroidvania on repeat.

you shouldn't insult the metal slug series like that.

I got a copy of gunvolt off here, and initially it wouldn’t read. After ejecting the cart a couple times seems to be working ok again. Which game died on you?

Arms. Bought it for my son, second hand though, he's pretty gutted. I was going to go at the contacts with alcohol rub but it's practically brand new, can it be that dirty so soon?

I bought a case almost immediately after getting the system...then thought I lost the case. Talk about having a heart attack.

It worked after ejecting a few times, it would show up on the screen but when I tried to hit play it would throw some kind of an error and say cart was not inserted. I got three switches and everyone of them has had weird stuff happen. Probably console related? But either way it finally started booting after reseating a few times. I go out of the country next week so have been saving it to have something to play on my trip so I’ll really break it in then. Weirdest thing so far was the switch crashed on one TV while playing splatoon 2, and the image was frozen on the TV screen. I removed the switch from the dock and the image remained. Pulled the power from the dock and the image disappeared, reconnected power and the same image was back on the screen. This continued till I removed the HDMI cord and powered off the TV too. Pretty sure the dock has no memory so not sure how this works? Been a few more updates since then and it hasn’t happened again so hopefully it’s good now. My neighbors switch battery can only go about 30 mins on a charge now so pretty sure his is fucked, haven’t looked into if there is a way to even change the battery but i assume we will all be dealing with that eventually.

Thanks for the link, I’m gonna pass it on to him. I’m assuming there is not enough space in it for a higher MAH battery but maybe they will have a hardware revision later to where it’s better. I expect batteries to get weaker over time but the one in my phone is about 80% for me after 1-2 years where this one being 30 mins max seems defective. I wonder if leaving it docked lowers the life expectancy?
It has become a big topic on Reddit. Seems to be a growing issue... You can't win. You buy digital and the games are never truly yours. And now people have failing carts on a year old system. Craziness.
I personally have not experienced this on the ~15 or so carts I have.
Did he use a third party charger or dock? I find it hard to believe his battery is completely trashed already. It's an easy fix at least.

Nah, just what came with the system. Must be a known issue he contacted Nintendo and they said send it in and didn’t grill him at all. It’s worth mentioning he’s just inside the 1 year warranty still though. Just watched a news video though that said the processor has a fatal bug that allows full hacking of the system so a hardware revision is happening regardless so maybe they will tinker with some of these things a bit while they try to stop it.

No issues here so far with my carts. I really do not want to go digital and anytime I buy anything digital I cringe.
Hopefully if this does become a big issue, Nintendo will offer some sort of solution, even if it's card replacement. Or repair for the slots. I need to pick mine up again and finish XBC2...probably forget how to place this point.
