Correct, but if we are honest with ourselves, most publishers are going to choose the option that allows them the highest ROI. I believe most are going to go with the key card method of delivery. Nintendo charges a premium on high density storage cartridges. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
They're all pathetic and should be ashamed. Especially Nintedno with their rip off pricing.How is it any different than Sony & Microsoft are doing with some discs being just a digital ticket?

can you change thread title? Peoples are stopping reading at OP which is bait trying to make it sound like all games will do thislol welcome to the internets
If the tech exists it's likely a lot of publishers will take the cheapest route in the West as we saw multiple times with Japanese carts having full games and US/EU having only parts or half the collection on the cart.
Holy shit
If the tech exists?
Switch 1, PS5, Xbox series, and PS4, Xbox one, had this "tech".
Nintendo is slapping a big fat logo on box to warn consumers what they're getting. That's it.
Bravely Default remaster that would be likely 99% digital? You can now resell it with this cart.
I really don't understand the fuss.
There's even a site for does it play, as in 100% offline play or download required
Gen to gen its increasing, all platforms and Xbox is particularly having this a lot.
I would say, having a key attached to physical media is already a better step than Switch's empty case with digital only which is attached to your account. You can actually resell this.
Yeah, this is honestly FUCKED.Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview | Nintendo Support

This might be a deal breaker for me. I know there aren't many of us left, but as someone who has almost exclusively bought physical games, and has a sizeable Nintendo Switch collection.
They finally killed off physical.
Yeah, I think the game card uses the SD Express technology, SD Express is still expensive
Well, one can litigate anything. The trick is actually having a case. If a game requires a download, it's going to state it on the box (just like they do currently), and the person suing would end up wasting a bunch of money on court and lawyer fees.
Nintendo Gamecube was awesome, what are you even on? Lifetime sales doesn't necessarily always dictate whether a console is great or not. In fact, I'd argue the NGC has aged way better than N64. The Wii was loaded with shovelware.
This is very anti consumer. I have been all digital with my switch but I still want physical media to actually mean something.Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview | Nintendo Support

Nintendo is charging $70 for Switch ports. Tears of the Kingdom will be $80.
I think that's the plan. $80 vs $90.
Exactly. This is basically the exact same thing the MGS Master Collection did on Switch. Nothing new, nothing to see here.
Tell this to shareholder, NGC is the best Nintendo system imo, but It didnt sold well.
Thats what i thought too, as long as the Game Key Cards are a minority of physical releases and you can actually share this Key Card or resell it, it is actually better than previous system that was just a code in empty box.

I'm guessing its kind of a way to keep retailers happy. They can still sell the games in-store. Or for publishers who want to have shelf space at a retailer.
Not NSO, NSO with that expansion pack which is extra $30 /year.
Ok well whatever. If you want the cheaper service you get less benefits
PS+ Essentials is the same price but better.
Not if I buy the Switch 4 editions
NSO Expansion is $50 per year, with access to dozens of games across multiple systems. PS+ Essentials is $80 per year with 3 random downloads per month. If you don't give a crap about the 3 random downloadable games per month then that's a very subjectable statement....i.e. no acces to PS2/3 library.
Their pure handhelds always seem to do well. There consoles have been hit and miss for 30 years. Though Nintendo did a great job making hybrid system switch killing two birds with one stone.
Don't worry you will be able to pay for your subscription on your switch 4 to play emulated switch 2 games. Switch 2 online will be great.
30 a year and you get dlc upgrades and more… stop being cheap that
It's not all bad stuff. You can still share the game between any number of friends and family members, and you can still resell it when you're done.
