One of the strange details that came out of Big Nintendo Switch 2 last week He was The presence of the game key cards. It will not be used in all versions, but basically Switch 2 cartridges that do not already contain a game, but instead features a “key” used “to download the full game on your online system.
With the continuation of video games The shift away from physical versionsThe game key cards created some confusion among fans. I had the opportunity to ask Nintendo of American Doug Bowser about the reason for its existence, and the answer was very simple: retail stores.
“In essence, it is a digital game on a card,” he said. “What is useful is that our publishing partners be able to bring games to the market that may be a large size, and therefore they may need a very large cartridge for that game. They allow them to sell these material games in retail.”
This makes a certain amount of meaning, as retail stores are still a noticeable market for Nintendo in particular. Bowser also indicated that in an attempt to make a distinction between Switch 2 and its predecessor is more clear, the company works with our retailers in the United States to “create” separate sections for Nintendo Switch 2, so there will be a retail -selection point. “(Switching 2 also features a different design with a lot From red to them.)
However, the presence of the game key cards is likely to be disappointed for those who rely on physical games either for collection or preservation purposes-even if that means more wide games on switching.
