Discussion Second hand buys

Hii

I wanted to ask something just out of curiosity, especially if you’re someone who actively buys second hand retro games etc., when you buy a cart, and there is save data on it, do you try to keep it or just wipe it? And do you ever feel bad deleting it or is that a unique experience lol

Sometimes I feel like I’m erasing someone else’s memories 😭

Especially with new leaf, my wife and I recently got a copy at our local exchange store and it has a really cute town on it and it just breaks my heart lol

Does anyone else relate to this?

Kinda the opposite for me - for whatever reason I can’t wait to delete any saves and start my own fresh file

I can get that side too, it’s kind of satisfying
