Not sure what's going on with Pokopia's release here, delayed stock in multiple stores, cancelled orders, out of stock in others. 1st shipments gone.

Is it unprecedented demand - or is it just some stores pricing too aggressively and then oops, we're not actually getting that much...

They’re not perfect, but I hate to say it, this is what we risk if EB Games goes….

Yeah Target and Officeworks are cheap, but even Amazon can be bad for us here WA.

Also my Zelda Lego still isn’t here, pre-ordering online anything sucks now.

No worries, its a really cool feature and the Wii U lives on in it 🀣

Yup have played it, while the majority of games just literally share the screen, some games like Captain Toad or Clubhouse Games let each player have their own perspective and controls. The Switch 2 runs both points of view, and dishes them out to the other consoles

It's just beaming the video to the system, the game isn't running on the Switch 1 at all.

Reddit post titled "Australian β€œnew” Nintendo Switch games aren’t factory sealed β€” confirmed by Nintendo"

Post content - I’m an Australian collector and recently contacted Nintendo Australia about something I’d noticed: brand new Nintendo Switch games sold here often don’t come factory shrink-wrapped, unlike the same titles in the US, Europe and Japan.

NSW Fair Trading followed up with Nintendo on my behalf, and Nintendo confirmed that games assembled locally are intentionally not shrink-wrapped. They consider it a commercial decision.

The cartridges are unused β€” so this isn’t about defects β€” but from a collecting standpoint it means Australian retail copies are visually indistinguishable from opened/pre-owned copies.

For collectors, factory sealing is usually part of condition grading, authenticity, and long-term value.

I’m curious how others here would view this:

Does β€œnew” still mean new if it isn’t factory sealed?

Would you treat unsealed retail stock differently in your collection?

Does this affect how you’d value Australian copies vs overseas ones?

Happy to share the Fair Trading correspondence if anyone wants to see it.

Do I think the new @vooks.net theme has had effect on the site.

Ask my server and Google. Time to ask for the downgrade.

PS: Support Independent Games Media. Visit & adblock whitelist, use their affiliate links, back them directly. If you're in the industry, open up your heart, access, and marketing budgets to them. It's never been more critical. Patreons & substacks etc are good, but we still need trad websites too.
