Shipping AED 148.57 — your parcel leaves the Netherlands.

Order more than one and you share the shipping: a second game rides along free.

Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added — none of this is included in the price at checkout.

Crossing the border costs you more and takes longer. That you accept that anyway means a great deal to me.

Parcel (console / 4+ items), tracked: AED 222.96
Delivery time: 5-9 working days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imports; above AED 1,000, 5% duty is added. Emirates Post collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout.

On your console in the UAE: Nintendo Switch games have no region lock, so this European (PAL) edition plays on any Nintendo Switch, whatever region it is from.

The United Arab Emirates are outside the EU. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty (Dubai Customs, since 3 August 2026), but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added as well. None of this is included in the price at checkout. You pay in UAE dirhams — Credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount at checkout is what your card is charged, at our fixed shop rate; your bank converts nothing. Prefer PayPal? Choose euros at checkout.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — AED 18.18, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the AED 148.57 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

Without you there would be nothing to grow. Every order that comes in here is the reason this shop can get bigger — and the reason I can keep doing this.

About this product

Pokemon Violet for Nintendo Switch — a classic from the Pokémon series, among the most sought-after Nintendo games there are.

Pokémon for Nintendo Switch — Gen 9 open world. Paldea, the counterpart to Scarlet, the legendary Miraidon.

With its original box — increasingly hard to find in this condition and a highlight in any collection. Cartridge cleaned and tested on original hardware, ready to play.

The Nintendo Switch came out in 2017: docked TV mode and handheld in one — over 150 million sold. A physical copy plays on any Nintendo Switch and is not tied to an account or a licence.

Who is this for? Anyone who wants to play the game second-hand without paying the new price, and simply lend it out or sell it on later. And anyone who would rather have something real on the shelf than a download.

Nintendo Switch games have no region lock, so this European (PAL) edition plays on any Nintendo Switch, whatever region it is from. Every item passes our authenticity check (shell, board, Nintendo markings) and a function test — you're buying 100% original Nintendo.

Shipped from the Netherlands with PostNL tracking to the UAE: from AED 148.57; no customs duty on goods up to AED 1,000, UAE VAT (5%) is collected on delivery. 30-day returns.

Seen it cheaper elsewhere?

For most titles there’s also a private listing online, sometimes a little cheaper. The difference isn’t in the title, but in the copy itself and in everything around it.

Does it work?: Here: Has been running here — save and label checked — before it went online.; Private seller: ‘Works’ in the photo. You test it yourself, after buying.
Is it genuine?: Here: Label, product code on the back, colour and shape of the card, and booting. A reproduction doesn’t get through.; Private seller: Fakes are a plague with Pokémon and GBA games, and in a photo you can’t tell the difference.
If it disappoints?: Here: 30-day cooling-off period, and a 30-day warranty that it works.; Private seller: No right of withdrawal: consumer law doesn’t apply between private individuals. Buyer protection only covers the first 48 hours after delivery; after that you’re on your own.
Who’s behind it?: Here: One person, who has held this game personally and answers your question personally.; Private seller: Varies per listing.

Authenticity check

How we test Nintendo Switch games for authenticity

Switch cartridges (2017-present) have a bitter coating against counterfeiting. We go through these five steps. Every Nintendo Switch game in our shop goes through this five-step check before it is sold.

1
Bitter coating (anti-swallowing)
Original Switch cartridges have a bitter anti-swallowing coating (child safety). Licking an original cartridge = extremely bitter. Fakes lack it (not a recommended test, but it works).
2
Product code HAC-P-XXXXX
On the back: an HAC-P code (HAC is the internal name of the Switch), for example HAC-P-AAAAA for Breath of the Wild. If the code is missing or does not match the game on the label, something is wrong.
3
Label print quality
Sharp print, correct colours. Pokémon titles: "Pokémon" with a perfect é accent. Fakes are dull grey or forget the é.
4
Cartridge plastic colour
Standard matte grey-black with a light texture. Fakes are often shiny, the wrong shade of black, or the label-edge colour is off.
5
Start-up test in a Switch
The cartridge starts to the title screen within 3 to 5 seconds. Original cartridges integrate seamlessly with the Nintendo Account + eShop. Fakes give "data corrupted" or open a strange launcher app.

What we see with Nintendo Switch games

Our experience

Switch cartridges have a bitter anti-swallowing coating (child safety — licking tastes bitter). We check the HAC prefix product code + label print + boot in a Switch. Fakes are usually easy to detect — Switch security is one of the best of the Nintendo platforms.

Our tip

Switch cartridges work on all Switch models (original Switch, OLED, Lite). The Nintendo Switch 2 (since June 2025) is backwards compatible — Switch 1 cartridges stay usable for years.

About the Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch (2017) is Nintendo’s hybrid platform — it plays both on the TV and in handheld mode. With well over 150 million units sold and a library of 12,000+ titles (physical + digital), the Switch is, together with the DS, the best-selling Nintendo platform ever. The Switch 2 (June 2025) plays almost the entire Switch library, so a cartridge bought today stays usable.

Hybrid design — TV (1080p) or handheld (720p) in the same console.
Cartridges do not wear out: a second-hand Switch game plays exactly like a new one.
The Switch 2 is backwards compatible with almost all Switch games.
Exclusive hits: Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Our tip: Physical or digital? Physical Switch cartridges can be resold (they are not tied to an account) and work on the Switch 2. For long-term ownership, physical is the smartest choice.

We run a 6-point authenticity check on every Pokémon game: (1) screw and shell — Game Boy and Game Boy Color close with a 3.8 mm gamebit screw, Game Boy Advance with a Y-shaped tri-wing; fakes often use a Phillips screw, and DS and 3DS cards are glued with no screw at all; (2) label print and colour, with a sharp Nintendo Seal; (3) the circuit board inside on Game Boy, Color and Advance — original Nintendo print and the right product code (on a DS or 3DS card: the code on the back); (4) the weight — Game Boy 18-24 g, GBA 10-13 g, DS 3.6-4.1 g; fakes with thinner plastic weigh noticeably less; (5) a save test: save, switch off, load again; (6) a play test on original hardware. Lenn has been doing this since 2019.
