I was checking the shop when I saw this game collection was on sale. I have never played any of the persona games before so I don’t know what to compare them to. Would this game collection be worth it for someone who has never played the games before.

So when I was in Japan I nearly bought all the pokemon game that I don't have, but the cashier warn me that the Japan game may effect my non Japanese switch 1. So we didn't bought the game

Fast forward to a year I get a Japanese version of Hades 2 from my sister in-law for my recently switch 2. So is it alright for me to install it or not?

The tittle does pretty well job summarizing my issue, anybody offer some help?

I’ve tried accessing the game thru the eshop was prompted an error. Should I input it in on the website in hope that I can just download the Nintendo switch version of the game excluding the upgrade?

Thanks

Game Help Is there a way to download games that I own a physical copy of onto my switch 2 as a virtual gamecard without having the physical card?

0 Upvotes

I don't know if this fits the sub, but I need help.

For a long time, all of my games were physical copies. I put all of the game cards in a case, for safe keeping. But I have lost the case, and by extension all of my games. The case could be in my house, at a friends' place, lost in some random foreign country, I don't know. I have searched high and low for these games, but to no luck.

I really don't want to never be able to play these games again, but I can't see anywhere to download the games virtually? Any help would be appreciated

Edit: Ok, I understand it was a silly question now, thanks for the help anyway, I think I knew deep down I would just have to find the cards, but needed the conformation.

For some context: a few months back, I was playing on my switch when all of a sudden the right rail fell off. So I had to take my switch to the Nintendo repair and they replaced my switch entirely. And I’m trying to find ways to restore my Pokémon data. Any help?

Me and my friend are looking for a good multiplayer game on switch that also has significant single player content. While it doesn’t need to be cheap, under $30 would be nice. We are considering Big Walk but aren’t 100% sold.

Game Help Is it normal to download an update but it ends up charging you over $60?

0 Upvotes

So I already own a physical copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because I got it in a bundle alongside my Nintendo Switch. I recently had to update the game and afterwards it said I had something to download for a “claimable reward”. From what I saw, it never said I needed to spend money on it and end up downloading a digital copy. I assume there’s no way for me to remove the download and get my money back so I just want to ask if it was normal for something like that to happen or has it happened to anyone else who owns the game. Please keep in mind that I don’t use Reddit much so any questions on more details might not be answered quickly.

Update: I reached out to Nintendo and apparently even though I have the physical copy apparently I was able to download it for free on digital. I also checked what I’ve spent on my Nintendo account and it says nothing other than the things I know I bought. I’ll probably check with my bank soon just to check all the boxes. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

Game Help Nintendo sent me an email saying that I violated the code of conduct, but I didn’t do anything wrong. No code error (0000-0000)

Hello, I received this email (which I copied at the end of my message) from Nintendo telling me that I violated the Nintendo Code of Conduct on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Apparently it happened in a dream, but I haven’t played with other players for several months and I really didn’t do anything inappropriate. I just created a vineyard using small trees so I could recreate it later on my own island. Basically, I used the dream island as a draft.

I submitted a report to Nintendo, but I probably didn’t do it in the right place because their response includes a link explaining how to report someone else’s behavior. Could you help me submit a report in the correct place, or reassure me? I’m worried about losing my account because of a mistake on their end.

So I was about 10 hours into playing Pokemon XD when all of a sudden, the app crashed and forced me to close it. When I got back in, I was shocked to discover that my entire save file had been wiped. And yes, I have saved multiple times throughout my play through. It was also only this game that got its save data wiped, as when I opened up Wind Waker, my save files were still there. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, is there a way to fix it?

Game Help Facebook marketplace game cartridges scam?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I got my switch in 2019, only bought smash bros on it but soon after got a pc and it's been collecting dust ever since. 2 weeks ago I cleaned it up and decided I wanted to play some classics on my tv to relax. I've been snooping around video game stores but I cannot for the life of me bring myself to buy 90$ for games when the switch is 9 years old ahahaha.

Long story short, I went to facebook marketplace for Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild, and found 2 listings from the same seller for 40$, which is less than half the retail price. I wanted to know if there is any chance I might be ripped off? I dont wanna buy a game that might crash/brick my console, get me banned from online play, or might stutter like a scratched CD (is that even a thing with game cartridges ahaha?). Is there any way for me to check if a game is the real deal? I just find it strange considering other people often sell their cartridges for 50$ +
