Nintendo's announcement regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 reveals that most third-party physical games will be available as 'Game-Key Cards' instead of traditional cartridges containing game data. These cards serve solely as access keys, compelling users to download games from the eShop, undermining the value of physical copies. Collectors express disappointment, leading to concerns about the longevity of physical ownership and the implications of digital reliance as the gaming landscape shifts more towards online platforms. This approach raises questions about the future of gaming and the importance of tangible media.
These Game Key Cards are essentially just physical access keys, and differ from the traditional cartridges in that they don't hold any physical game data on them.
Game collectors are understandably frustrated by this Game-key Card fiasco, and feel as if the heart has been taken out of owning a physical game.
