    All Switch games, including Breath, will leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

    Zing. It's a 100% accurate thread...

    I don't feel like clicking on the link. Would you like to quote the article you're referencing?

    I actually read a different article on the same topic. All the games are being coated with a bittering agent to deter small children from putting them in their mouths. Its non toxic, but tastes disgusting.

    The cartridges are coated in something utterly disgusting to taste, to stop idiots putting them in their mouths.

    Switch games leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Literally, not figuratively.

    And Nintendo cause millions of people who would've never even think of putting a game in their mouths to do just that.

    Outside of certain movies of dubious moral value, lots of people love to put brightly colored stuff in their mouth, and Nintendo tried to prevent both customers getting their Switch games covered in saliva or headlines ''six month old choke to death over Bomberman'' (the only kind of headlines Bomberman will ever get...)

    They are not the cartridges you think of, it's more like an SSD stick as far as I know (though I can't remember the exact technicalities) and the potential data storage could be vastly superior compared to Blu-ray etc.

    See, now I have to go and buy a switch cartridge to see what all the fuss is about.

    Oh,

    Exactly this.
    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

    Bahaha, this came up in MMO champ IRC. Hilarious.

    It's logical to make cartridges unedible for babies and dogs.

    Logical, but very odd.

    I hope this stuff doesn't rub off on your hands/fingers like the anti-huffing stuff does in compressed air. Forget to wash your hands after using that stuff and eat lunch? You'll basically just want to vomit.

    I wonder if this agent to make things taste foul will work on Wheat? Wouldn't want Wheat thieves getting to my Wheat.

    Ontopic: I saw a similar article elsewhere a few days ago, if it keeps younglings from trying to eat the cartridges, I am all for it.

    Think about it. This came up because someone complained about the taste.

    ...Who tastes video games? I mean, I like thorough reviews, but "tastes like nuts" doesn't fit in with that.

    Dunno man, when I am on the fence if a game is 9/10 or 10/10 every small factor plays in. If the game happens to be delicious, that would surely add value to the overall product.
