First post here… thank you in advance.
I happened to go to a local target and saw this on the shelves already. I thought this was supposed to come out on 7/18 but they let me purchase it without any issues. Would my Switch become bricked if I were to play it right now?

Hey nice find. No your switch won’t get bricked if you play it.
It won’t, enjoy the game!
Dude no you won’t get banned or bricked. Absolutely no worries there. Let us know how it is! I’m interested in this game. I loved the 3ds version!
For some reason i expected there to be more than 13 games but maybe that just sounds like a smaller number to me than it is
Play it and have fun! The only thing I could see them doing prior to launch day is wiping the leaderboards. I’m just speculating though.
Wow 10 days before release. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone get a game that early that didn’t have an early access release.
Very nice. Do you have pics of the extra stuff inside? Is it good quality?
Yooo the box looks way better than I thought
Whoa Target doesn’t sell things that break street date early.
I have tried to buy Transformers at Target and the register wouldn’t scan them because it was a day before they were supposed to be released. I had an employee literally snatch Thundercracker out of my hands and tell me it can’t be sold and walked away with it. No one else including the manger would help me even through it was their fault for stocking it. So I have huge doubts that OP bought the game at Target.
No, your Switch won’t get bricked and you won’t get banned. You can play the game as much as you want.
Many people buy and play games before the official release date, that’s pretty common. I’ve done that a few times.
Nice!
I got my N64 two days early back in ’96 when I went to Montgomery Wards with my mom and asked the electronics employee if they were going to sell it. She said she thought she saw some in the back and, bam, I was playing Super Mario 64 two days early.

I once went to pick up my pre-order of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD 4 days after release and the person working at the store had to check that the game had officially released before giving it to me.
I mean… this would have been a great opportunity to bring back the PowerGlove.
$60 for this is absurd.
This should be included on NSO…
Good luck have fun
Any pictures of the pins ?
I don’t know how you guys get this past the register. I remember that I found the 25th anniversary Mario game for the Wii early at Target. It was denied at the register because of the release date, wouldn’t let the cashier scan it in.
It’s out already?
Brb headed to target.
Nope. No dice at the target by me.
Let me know if you can play it offline
Here’s a picture of the unboxing. The bots keep taking down my post with all the pics

What is this game? I’m really confused tbh
That’s so cool! Honestly I wish it came with the other retro games in the nintendo switch online expansion 😭 But I’ll count my blessings getting the Mario Kart DLC.
Pretty lucky. I had a similar experience with Xenoblade2, but the register wouldn’t let them ring it up
That is really cool packaging
That’s insane! You’re perfectly fine, just super super lucky!
I think this is one of those games where how fun it is will depend a lot on exactly how it is executed. Really great challenges with a really compelling competitive structure will be great. A bunch of quick game excerpts with a leaderboard will be boring.
Why do so many care that the full games aren’t on here? It’s 2024, let’s not act like full versions of these games are hard to come by.
Hope you enjoy your copy!
Same got mine on Saturday
This is why I love physical copies the cover case is sick
