TheNintendo Switch 2Direct was a bit of a mixed bag.
They look just like a normal Nintendo Switch cartridge and go in the same slot.
They even come in a red plastic case, just like any other physical Nintendo Switch game.
Unfortunately, the Switch 2 Game-Key Cards are not physical media at all, despite being a tangible product.
Game-Key Cards are digital gameshidden within a physical cartridge.
Essentially, it is a hybrid product, one designed to bridge the gap between physical and digital media.
There are good intentions behind it, at least.
Most fans are confused by it, and many actively worry that these Game-Key Cards arebad for physical media.
However, it does come to the detriment of game preservation.
It also, in an ideal world, shouldn’t be used by Nintendo.
It will be interesting to see how Nintendo responds to all the vitriol surrounding the Game-Key Cards.
These are here to stay, no matter how ultimately pointless they are.
