After completing Diego's instructions, the hacker undergoes surgery for the implant and is put into a coma to recover.

About Nintendo Switch 2
Released in 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 continues the hybrid handheld/docked concept with improved hardware and backward compatibility with the original Switch's library. It's far too early for meaningful secondhand pricing patterns to have emerged, but Gamevaro is already tracking its growing catalog from day one so collectors can follow value trends as the platform matures.
Gamevaro tracks System Shock for Nintendo Switch 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding System Shock to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW2 release dates back to 2023.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for System Shock, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch 2 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
