Gaming Do Fake Switch Game Cards Exist?

[Deleted User]

I tried looking it up on YouTube, but the videos I came across were useless. So, here I am asking.

I did purchase two Switch game cards (Dragon Ball FighterZ & Final Fantasy XII) not too long ago, but I reckon they're genuine as I don't think fake Switch game cards (if it exists) is as widespread as GBA and DS ones (one of the reasons I don't buy them, or if I do, it has to be CIB).

I've never seen them - someone will crack it at some point though. Not nearly as common as GB/DS at least

I think, as of now, the worst you run into in that regard would be label-swapped games.

I seem to have an unknown version of poi. I bought the game on the eshop as well. they show up as separate tiles, while the rest of the games I bought used the same tile just without the cartridge indicator. it says usa on it, but the system says it's for a different region, which seems to supersede the one year time frame to get coins. I actually called nintendo about this, and they didn't know why that was happening. they went ahead and gave me the coins though, but it was cheap. I spent over 30 minutes on the phone, because another game, sonic mania, had some weird error message when redeeming coins. I think it said I couldn't redeem them yet. wtf?

I don't think it's been done, they've certainly not been widely available like fake DS games etc. I think the smart devs said it basically wasn't possible, not without a software hack in addition at least. Or they said that about flashcards, but I'd guess similar would apply. If it were actually possible it might still not be cost effective.

Maybe someone slapped a USA sticker on a cart from a region where the game was cheaper?

I don't know. it was still sealed, and the seller claimed he bought it in the usa.
