    The other day I ordered a box of googly eyes. Imagine my surprise when the box contained no googly eyes, but a ton of Switch game cartridges instead.
    Now I remain with an empty googly eye drawer.

    FYI, if you look into a switch game case from the bottom edge, you can see the cartridge inside. Shining a flashlight at the back of the case at the cartridge location can also help. It’s true that you can’t identify the cartridge label, but you’ll definitely be able to see if there’s a game in there or not.

    So this kind of happened to me. I picked up mario party from Target and got home and there was just a black-taped piece of cardboard in the game slot. Target didn't believe me (they thought i was trying to scam them) and Nintendo said it couldn't have been an issue on their side. Someone bought it, took the game out and re-shrink wrapped it so they could return it.
    Upon closer inspection, the box art for the game was fuzzy looking, so they just replaced the entire case too.

    if you have an exacto knife, an clothes iron, and a steady hand, it's surprisingly easy to reseal game cases

    Oh Arlo... This is not a victimless crime if one of these claimants demands a replacement from a retailer or Nintendo. That's the crime.

    I once bought a Switch game from Walmart in the US and I kept it sealed for several days, planning on opening it right before streaming it back in Mexico. Well, it turns out that after opening it...there was no game inside. Instead, there was some black foam in place, making it look like there was a game inside if the closed box is seen from the side. I got scammed and I had no way of getting my refund. Never again I will not open a game right then and there.

    Arlo mentioning Caspar Babypants & PUSA was definitely surprising for me, as a fan of both, but It has further solidified my trust in Arlo's music tastes. I have the LHS Reloaded Installer collection downloaded and still listen to it sometimes, especially while travelling. Indie alt rock, electronic synth, chipstep, techno, d&b, all good stuff.

    If this is true I know exactly why they are doing it. It’s to get a free game. Basically the take the cartridge out of the packaging, put the googly eyes in the case, repackage it, then return the case with the googly eyes in it to the store.

    So, something similar happened to me around 2011. I went to Wal-Mart to buy a copy of Catherine for the 360. Opened up the game case (noticing the shrink wrap was weirdly loose) only to find one of those free Netscape trial discs where the game disc should have been. Someone seemingly carefully removed the shrink wrap, swapped the discs, returned it for their money back, and then I bought it. It was nuts.

    When i worked retail, I had this happen. it wasn't a googly eye though. The two times it was a piece of cardboard or a piece of electrical tape folded up. They would reseal the game and return it. Customer service wouldn't catch it but I could tell instantly by the feel once i came to collect it. They always used cheap sealing that feels different.

    Definitely. I know this because my copy of Mario and Luigi Brothership was googly eyed. Luckily, Wal-Mart allowed an exchange because we had a receipt, but we had to open the new copy in store to make sure the game was in the new copy. I also took photographic evidence because it was crazy.

    • @jonathanf753

      Also it's not exclusive to switch games. The people at our local Walmart told us it happened in games on other console games as well.

    It’s mostly harmless - the one harm I could potentially see is someone getting trouble from the retailer if they try and return the game

    It isn't just a googly eye it's also a black piece of plastic bent around the card holder to appear that the game is in there from looking at it from the sides of the case

    Never got googly eyes but back in the gbc to gba era I did have a few times where the box had no cartridge. Luckily the stores I bought them from happily made sure I got my game when I showed them the empty box.

    Spawn Wave suggests that you shine through the case. Look for the game cartridge "teeth". That will tell you if there really is a game there or not.

    I actually already knew about this story, but it's a funny story how I did.
    I was browsing Bluesky and I saw a quoted post of this article from Playtonic Games. (A team of former Rare employees involved with Banjo and the like), claiming "it wasn't us, we swear."
    Probably the funniest part of this story from my perspective.
    I hope it's not real and if anyone actually losing out on their Switch game to googly eyes get their games proper.
