https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0181-unordered-merchandise https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0181-unordered-merchan... Q. Am I obligated to return or pay for merchandise I never ordered? A. No. If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift.

Not all Americans agree, but your laws only apply to your country.

Interesting! I didn't know this. Unfortunately in this case the buyer is in the UK, so FTC rules don't apply to him. I hope they have a similar consumer protection rule.

You don't have to send unsolicited goods back or even notify the sender. But duplicate orders don't count as "unsolicited" and should be returned - however "there should be no cost or inconvenience to you" which is where Nintendo fail badly here.

    > "there should be no cost or inconvenience to you" Cool, so OP could take Nintendo to court to recover lost wages!
