Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for April 19th, 2024. After yesterday's absolute avalanche of new releases, we have an exciting opportunity for all gaming enthusiasts. A vendor has been spotted selling hacked Nintendo ROMs on Walmart's third-party marketplace. This has caught the attention of Doug Bowser, CEO of Nintendo, as the company takes strict measures against piracy.
But let's move on to something more positive in the world of Nintendo. The Lego Super Mario 64 Question Block set has been heavily reduced for Black Friday, offering fans a chance to bring a piece of the iconic game into their homes. This set is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast.
