Topic: Did your ever experience oily game-carts?

Just out of curiosity: Did you guys ever experience oily game-carts? And how is that possible? In the beginning I had one or 2 games that leaked oily goop. Especially Super Smash bros. When I took the cart out there was some black goop on it. Same with the other game. After a short while both games stopped leaking and I never found that goop again. I really wonder what happened and if this was bad for my Switch or my health.

@Henmii That doesn't sound pleasant. I've never had that happen with any of my cartridge-based consoles. I just checked my Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game card and it looks A-OK, and I put over 200 hours into it. Maybe they were on for too long at some point? Just my guess.

Do you keep your games or console in or near some sort of rubber container that might be degrading or something?

@Henmii Never heard of that. Sorry to hear.

I have 23 switch game cards, no issues. Two of them have over 300 hours on them. I'm in the US.

Hmm, seems I am the only one.

@MarioLover92,

I played Smash for big amounts of time, 3 to 4 hours in one sitting. Sure that's not to much, any game can handle that?

@Eel,

I keep my Switch in a plastic bag, the bag it came in. As I said in another article, my Switch-screws also have some weird corrosion. Not red or brown, but some white, salt like powder. Maybe its all connected?

Other then that my Switch works fine (only joycon-drift, but everyone has that). And as I said I never did experience the goop again, only in the beginning.
