I'm from the NES days where the idea was to blow on the cartridges. :P

Funny thing is... it actually worked. XD

Kids these days will never know the struggle of trying to get Mega Man X to work by blowing and shaking it and blowing in the SNES as well

[Bulbasaur]

I thought the Switch could also be used as a handheld?

I remember those days xD. Same with CDs except I also used a disc cleaner. Sometimes the cartridges needed more than blowing. I had to use a cue tip and alcohol to clean the inside. I think that made it all worse over time more so than fixing for long term xD

I tried to be very good about handling CDs so I never really found myself needing to buy an official disc cleaner. Thankfully, they didn't get scratched up or grimy as long as we kept them in the box and carefully put them into the tray. Though if we rented a game, it was usually a different story. The last people that used it usually weren't too careful. :P

There were a couple of games we had to return because they were so damaged that they were basically unplayable.

[Shruikan]

Wow, I suddenly feel a lot younger. I don't think I've ever had this problem, at least not with games. DVDs on the other hand... *Glances at unplayable Season 6 Smallville disks*

[Chakramaster]

Old style discs were harder to manage anyway. Now they are made a little better at that. So we don't need to worry as much

Totally still works for my N64 too! xD

[Noblejanobii]

Yes my grandma's N64 works that way too.
