lol I much prefer new game smell, and in all honesty I got really upset when I first opened the Nintendo switch games. they really don't have a new game smell to them, which is technically a good thing as the cellophane they use should be more stable for long term sealed storage.

I've actually heard a rumor about the new Swtich carts being made to intentionally taste really bad so that kids won't put them in their mouths. I wonder if that's true.

They used a bittering agent in the carts. If you have an animal that chews you've probably used something very similar before

To me, nothing will ever beat the smell of a new game. The fresh plastic of the box, the straight new manuals, but most of all just the exciting feeling of having a brand new title ready to play. Seriously, I don't know whether this is weird, but everytime I get a new game I just have to take a quick whiff of the box to get that 'I have a new game and it'll be awesome' feeling.
