Capcom sold a collection of four NES games as a piece of paper (the Me༺gaman Lega🌞cy collection had half the NES/SNES games cart other half code). Anyone who thinks EVERY developers isn't going to cheap out (and this ignoring the 95% of games that will be forced to because of cartridge size) you're deluding yourself. The Switch 2 is supposed to be a "next gen system" yet these cartridges can barely fit any last gen games, you think any new third party games are going to be SMALLER?

People who suddenly "so what" are hila💯rious. Comparing this to digital games when you're literally losing all the benefit for a digital game, AND all the benefit for the physical game. Why wouldn't you just buy the game ✤digitally and then print out a cover if you care? You want to have a piece of plastic in your system?

People comparing this to Steam (the same𓂃 Nintendo fans that have rallied against digital literally until this minute lol) are missing t🎶he fact Steam has never shut down a service (like the Wii/DS stores). This also isn't linking the games to your (barbaric) Nintendo account so you're literally going to end up with a useless piece of plastic you paid too much for. These serve NO purpose lmao.

You just know these were the same people railing against the Xbox One announcement (that would have let you have digital versions of all your physical games, share them with♌ 10 other people, etc) because it had an online check, meanwhile now they're willing to buy games they literally can't even play once they buy it without Internet! You love to see it.

The cartridge are 64GB. You realize this is the reason most third party games skipped the Swi♊tch (second reason being it's power) right? And you think the majority of games WONT be keys? Why wouldn't they be when there's𝓰 no downside to the developers?

Which two PS4 games were pieces of people? Literally zero of mine are. None of my PS5 games ไare. And guess what? A code is better than this nonsense because you don't nee🦄d a (literal useless) piece of plastic in the console to use it.

You'reꦉ comparing multiple dif🌄ferent digital system to a crossbred one that has NONE of the benefits of physical and NONE of the benefit of digital. Good one lol.

Nintendo has also shut down multiple marketplaces (meaning goodbye forever). This has NEVER happened with Steam so your PC comparison is incredibly misguided𝓡.

"They see them, very correctly, as stories.

The best games, and even ꩲmost middling ones, make you forget that🌠 you're playing a game."

Uh....no? I play a GAME for the GAME. I
