With Switch, Nintendo is currently offering the platform friendliest to physical game collectors, but the existence of game-key cards for Switch 2 has the holdouts from the supposedly inevitable digital fꦚuture feeling nervous. For now, though, it seems Nintendo has no plans to abandon proper retail cartridges.

"In the immediate future, physi🌞cal games are still a key part of our business," Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser tells . "And we value our relationships in particular with our retailers, and want to make sure we have products available for them to sell to their consumers."

Technically, game-key cards do give retailers something to sell, but it remains to be seen if that's something players want to buy. Several industry figures have been outspoken about what game-key cards represent, calling them 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"disheartening" and saying that "we're losing so꧙me of what made the business specꦏial."

"When you look at Game-Key Cards," Bowser continues, "For us, our goꦿal with Nintendo Switch 2 – similar to what we were able to accomplish on Nintendo Switch – is to have the broadest and deepesꦅt library of content we possibly can. And that includes our publishing partners. And Game-Key Cards are a way that our publishing partners are able to bring more content onto the platform, deeper and larger, more immersive content on the platform."

Game-key cards are certainly proving popular among third-party developers, as the vast majority of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Switch 2 launch games not published by Nintendo are being released in this format. One exception is Cyberpunk 2077, and CD Projekt has suggested other publishers should "not underestimate the ph♋ysical edition." Whether that w⭕arning means much in th🥀e end remains to be seen.
