It is CRAZY to me that Nintendo bans people based off of cart IDs, like if someone gets scammed, they get the double whammy :c

For sure, although I'm not sure how often cert bans per cart have been? I've mostly heard of users having their consoles banned.

Nintendo implementing draconian "anti-piracy" measures to scare people into buying new or digital games? Never ever,,, Before you ask, yes. I met quite a few people so scared of this they only buy digital.

It is amazing how we don't have to deal with region locked games anymore. I don't know if I would buy games from alixpress. I brought games from play asia through. I'm just one just to wait if it is released in my region. It just eliminates jumping through extra hoops.

The death of region locking was probably my favorite standardization from last generation, a bit of a shame it hasn't been talked about all too much.

Good to know, I took a brief look for a couple of games that I wanted to pickup and their price was in line with what I could get here but I'll jeep an eye in it hoping for clearence across the board with the announcement of the Switch 2

We'll just wait and see! I know the prices even on the games I got seem to fluxuate depending on the seller on AliExpress.

I don't mind games from other regions so long as they match the TV frequency (as all modern games do). Also keep in mind censorship varies by region, so if you mind how the game is presented, you may want to research that as well I wouldn't mind repros either so long as they declared repros AND are reasonably priced

Wasn't aware of this. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Thanks For the video, I sometimes buy games for ali express and i am sometime lucky on eBay, where people sometimes sell an English cover with case 👍

I remember back in 2022 buying Super Mario 3D All Stars almost HALF the price, it's insane, it's weird how these games are legit when again, usually the games are knock off of games of older console haha, just recently picked up Pikmin 1+2 and Skyward Sword HD for half the price too

The sellers I've bought from seem to run on a system where they have the game game but from different regions, so they'll just send you whatever they might have on hand. That's why one of the games was Japanese and the other is from Hong Kong.
