So I ordered a copy of Wonder off of amazon and received it yesterday. It looks great on my shelf!

Thanks for the input guys. I'm not gonna worry too much about that warning. Super Mario Bros. Wonder has got me wanting to start collecting a few physical switch games. I've even found some useful resources online showing lists of the various cartridge revisions released on the system so I can try and buy physical games that have all of the updates and DLC on them whenever possible.

Love the Switch! I might get an OLED model this Christmas. Though I wonder if I should just wait until they release the new model, or the Switch 2, whatever it is that Nintendo is planning.

I also have a hacked Switch that is fun to mess around with it.

I've heard the cartridges not so much, though.

Switch cartridges, I can't say.

Now Nintendo 64 carts, those have some real flavor! As a very frustrated Ack may have learned while leaving teeth marks in his copy of Super Mario 64...

I've heard of people throwing controllers when frustrated but not biting cartridges! That's a new one!

They actually coat the cartridges in bitterant because people are always trying to eat them.
Nintendo Rep:
“To avoid the possibility of accidental ingestion, keep the game card away from young children. A bittering agent (denatonium benzoate) has also been applied to the game card.” This bittering agent “is non-toxic”"
Denatonium benzoate is the most bitter chemical compound known, commonly used as an aversion agent to prevent accidental ingestion, which is why the Switch cards are coated in it. It's also used in animal repellent, shampoos, soaps and nail-biting prevention.
