I Spent $250 Exposing the Worst Scams on the Nintendo eShop



There’s a big problem with the Nintendo Switch eShop, and today I decided to get to the bottom of it. This video is over a year in the making, but a lot of these weird games and shady tactics are still happening today – If anything, they’re even worse now than they were when I found the games in this video. With the Switch 2 coming out soon, will these types of games follow us to the new console, or will Nintendo finally put their foot down and make sure all of the games are the same level of quality as Mario, Zelda, Kirby or Pokemon?

  1. What does it actually take to put a game on the EShop? I know on mobile all stores you gotta do things like apply as a member and pay a fee for your app to stay up or something, but what about other stores like on consoles?

  2. this reminds me of the abysmal state of the AU playstation store (there are so many cheap ass games that you would play fora minute and regret wasting 2 dollars AND they are always on sale)

  3. Thanks for roasting these games, as I've wasted many hours sifting through the eShop. It's EXHAUSTING looking for good games on the eShop when there's SO much junk. It's also very peculiar how they get away with it from Nintendo, a company that looks out for families. It's like the wild west, where it shouldn't be! Kinda reminds me of how China is super strict, but somehow has a lot of sketchy street markets.

  4. i hadn't actually gone in the eShop much until about a year ago, and was genuinely surprised when i saw how much garbage there was. for christmas i had wanted a specific game but since you can't just buy someone a game as a gift (which also baffles me) i asked for a gift card that would cover the game, and then it was actually on sale when i went to buy it with the gift card. this meant i was left with a few extra dollars to go nuts with. i filtered for the cheapest games just to see what i could find, and obviously i was not expecting a complete masterpiece for $2, but i was still shocked by how much of it just felt straight up scammy or like shit that should be a free mobile game from 15 years ago

  5. The Healthy Recipes “game” reminded me of something on the DS. It’s a cartridge that has like 100 public domain books on it. Can’t remember the title of it off the top of my head, but I swear it’s real.

  6. I bought a picross game on sale on the eshop. The 1st community puzzle I solved was the "N" world… After a few days, the game became completely unplayable and never loads when I open it
