I just observed some sketchy marketing practices from Nintendo.
Here's a few items I viewed a few weeks ago, as displayed on Nintendo Store (US):

I ruled out fingerprinting as I remembered that I logged in to My Nintendo earlier today for free Platinum Coins, but the problem is that I logged out and haven't viewed those items today. (I re-tested and these items don't appear in a fresh private session.)
Like, seriously? They're incorporating marketing tactics used by broke and desperate companies. Is it really so important to try and squeeze every last cent that you have to track users even after logging out?
I saw someone selling a DS dev cartridge on eBay today, it seems to be PokePark Fishing Rally DS(2005).
(But isn't this DS flashcard from a later version? I think this ROM was written afterward.)
(Looks like someone has already got the ROM, and then made it into a cart.)
man is it just me or do i just like wake up with nerfs or buffs ever so often? like one day i woke up and said "hmm, i feel like drawing today, i know im never good at it, but i feel like it today" and then i turned out to be an absolutely amazing artist after years of not doing it. Then one day i opened mspaint and thought "hmm, i see all of those people painting really realistic paintings in mspaint, i wonder what its limits are" and then thats how i learned i was a painter. Then one day i woke up with severe ocd...so...uh, well
