Lost game I couldn't remember the gameplay or who developed it

I remember going to CeX or GAME and stumbling upon this shitty game. It was called "Facebook" and had a blue background with the Facebook logo as a cover. They also had a Nintendo Switch logo on the top left. I saw this in late 2019. I didn't get to buy it because I think no one played it.

Saw this and got super confused. New to the Switch world and trusting there is no game called Facebook. Maybe a mix-up at the store? Or someone's version of a prank?

You sure it wasn't a dream? Facebook ain't no game, pal. You might've seen a fan-made cover or something. Have you been sleep deprived? Happens to the best of us, we start seeing things that aren't there.

It wasn't a dream. I looked at the cover.

Guys, c'mon. There's no chance this is legit. Either a custom job or someone slapping a fake label onto a bargain bin game. Facebook wouldn't make a 'game' without blasting it all over the internet. I mean, come on, what would that even be? Farmville: The Adventure Continues? 😂

No way! I thought I was the only one who saw that. Did it look a bit faded? Cause I swear what I saw looked like someone tried to make a DIY cover but gave up and slapped a Facebook sticker on it lol. Switch games have pretty strict licensing, I can't imagine that getting through Nintendo's quality control.

Ok guys I did some digging, and it looks like there's no official game titled 'Facebook' released for the Switch or any other major console. Maybe it was a prank by someone at the store, or perhaps a misprint? Super curious though, any other details you might remember could help.

hmm, that's weird af, I've never seen Facebook as a game, especially not for the Switch, lol. maybe it was some kind of unofficial, bootleg thing? idk. would love to see a pic if anyone finds it.

As much as I love a good lost media mystery, I'm quite sure there's never been an official 'Facebook' game for the Nintendo Switch. It's more likely that you saw a custom case, or it was a placeholder for something else entirely. The staff at GAME or CeX might remember if it was a joke or something. Worth asking if you're really curious.

Hey, I'm intrigued by your claim. This sounds like a case of mistaken identity or a hoax. Facebook has never branched into console gaming. Switch cases are easy to print custom covers for, so maybe someone did it for fun? If you have a pic or any more details, maybe we can dig deeper into this.

lol, Facebook the game? Does it come with microtransactions for every like and share? Sign me up for the ultimate time-waster simulator! 😂

Collecting Switch games here! Never heard of a Facebook game for the Switch. AFAIK, there's no such title released officially. What you saw might have been a bootleg or a custom joke cover someone slipped into the case for a laugh.

dude i think what ur talking about isnt an actual game. Facebook is just a social media platform, there's no switch game by that name. maybe some unofficial crappy knockoff? check the eshop for anything that looks familiar, otherwise might be remembering wrong

I got to see Facebook on Nintendo eShop. They used to have Facebook, and I think the main objective was to use Facebook. I only saw some promotional images.

Guys, I'm new here but super into collecting all things Switch, and this has me intrigued. I've checked every source I know - databases, lists, release catalogs - and there's nothing. No game or app for the Switch under the name 'Facebook'. Sounds like a wild goose chase but now I gotta find out more about this. Could be some homebrew stuff or a one-off case sleeve for a laugh?

lolz, imagine playing Facebook the Game. Next they'll be releasing 'Browser: The Adventure' and 'Settings Simulator'. Just go on your phone, dude.

I'm quite versed in the lost media scene, especially obscure game titles, and I can tell you that there's no official game called 'Facebook' for the Switch. Nintendo's policies are fairly strict, and though secondary apps do make it through, a Facebook game seems unlikely. I reckon it might've been a bootleg or a joke case someone put out there. If you have any photo or further info, that'd actually be a game-changer. No pun intended haha.

hmm, never heard of a game just called 'Facebook' for the Switch. There was an app for the 3DS and a Facebook share option on Wii U. Maybe it was like a web wrapper or something, but never seen it in the eShop. Are you sure it wasn't some kind of prank or mock-up cover? Wouldn't put it past some people to troll like that, lol.
