Take a look at this!
If you received a new Switch game for Christmas that contained a game cartridge inside, then you might be better off than some others out there…
As noted by IGN, a couple of Switch players on social media and Reddit are asserting that they’ve gotten cases filled with “googly eyes” instead of the original game cartridge. This object seems to resemble a Switch game cartridge, but when you open the case, it’s just sitting there… staring back at you.
Here’s a look at some of the images circulating:
Not surprisingly, no one really knows what’s happening here, but there’s always a chance it could be some kind of prank.
IGN contacted several users who posted these images online, but none of them had “footage of them unwrapping the packaging and finding the eyes.” Some of the main retailers where these copies were allegedly found include “Walmart, Best Buy, and Target.” Googly eyes have also reportedly appeared in online game purchases.
